2024 Fantasy Outlook
Toney missed time due to hip and ankle injuries at the end of the 2023 season. When the NFL Playoffs rolled around, Toney was a healthy scratch in multiple games. In 13 games with the Chiefs, the receiver totaled 169 yards and a touchdown. It’s fair to wonder if Toney can’t make it with the Chiefs, is it possible he fails to succeed wherever he goes? Between missing 19 games in three seasons along with numerous mental mistakes on the field, Toney’s physical talent hasn’t secured him a regular offensive role. It’s possible that Toney turns things around, but it seems more likely that he’s shown us what can be reasonably expected in terms of production. Read Past Outlooks

Still in team's plans
The Chiefs are optimistic Toney will be able to contribute in 2024, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
GM Brett Veach recently referred to Toney as "probably our most talented wideout," and head coach Andy Reid said the 25-year-old is "arguably one of the most talented guys on the team." The implication, supported by Veach's comments, is that Toney's lack of playing time last season was a product of his medical issues, starting with a meniscus injury during training camp. Of course, injuries have been a constant for the 2021 first-round pick, who has missed at least four games in each of his three pro seasons and also seen his snaps limited a number of other times. In fact, Toney has never recorded more than six targets or 30 offensive snaps in his 23 total games with Kansas City between the regular season and postseason. An ongoing legal situation involving Rashee Rice could open the door for Toney to get more playing time at some point in 2024, with his YAC ability potentially making him a good fit to see a lot of the quick passes Rice hauled in as a rookie in 2023. Fantasy relevance seems like somewhat of a long shot nonetheless, especially after Toney was a healthy inactive for the team's Super Bowl win over San Francisco in February.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chiefs decline fifth-year option
Toney had his fifth-year option declined by the Chiefs on Thursday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Chiefs' decision makes Toney a free agent after this coming season, which will be his second full one in Kansas City. Both general manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid recently indicated Toney is in the Chiefs' plans this coming season, but the decision to not commit beyond 2024 stems largely from the wideout's checkered injury history and sub-standard production last season.

2022
2021
Toney is fun to watch, until he gets hurt. The Giants took him 20th overall in 2021, three months after his 22nd birthday, wowed by the 4.39 speed and ankle-breaking jukes and not too worried about the lack of college production (it wasn't until his season year at Florida that he topped 500 scrimmage yards). It's too early to definitively say they were wrong, though the Giants gave up on him late last October when they dealt him to Kansas City for picks at the end of the third and sixth rounds. Toney showed both the good and the bad for the Chiefs, missing more time with a hamstring injury but also averaging 12.1 yards on 19 touches in the regular season (including three TDs). He reached the 20-snap threshold just once, and later took only 30 snaps across three playoff snaps -- partly on account of an ankle injury. The good news? Toney's talent is obvious, he's healthy this offseason and now has a chance to earn a starting job in an offense with good blocking, great coaching and superb QB play. The other guys competing for WR snaps are 2022 second-round pick Skyy Moore, 2023 second-rounder Rashee Rice, mediocre veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling and bargain-bin signing Richie James.
