Headed to Kansas City
QBKansas City Chiefs
December 22, 2025
The Chiefs signed Buechele off the Bills' practice squad Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
With both Patrick Mahomes (knee) and Gardner Minshew (knee) sidelined for the remainder of the season, Buechele provides the Chiefs with much-needed depth at quarterback. The SMU product has never played in an NFL game since going undrafted in 2021. Buechele will likely compete with Chris Oladokun for Kansas City's starting QB spot throughout the week ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Broncos.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Heading into the 2023 campaign, Buechele will serve as an emergency option at quarterback behind Patrick Mahomes and Blaine Gabbert. The 25-year-old signal caller spent time on Kansas City's practice squad and active roster last season, but he did not see any action on the field. Buechele will likely fill a similar role in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could challenge Henne
QBKansas City Chiefs
July 9, 2022
Nate Taylor of The Athletic believes Buechele could challenge Chad Henne in camp and preseason for the Chiefs' backup quarterback spot.
ANALYSIS
Few quarterbacks across the NFL have more job security than Patrick Mahomes, but who will occupy Kansas City's backup spot isn't a foregone conclusion. Buechele signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent prior to the 2021 season and has substantially improved his accuracy and deep ball since then. If Henne shows any signs of decline at age 37, Buechele could emerge as Mahomes' backup.
