2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rees-Zammit found a home with the Chiefs this offseason as a qualifying international player. He joins several other hopefuls at running back, hoping to claim a 53-man roster spot for a team that lost Jerick McKinnon via free agency this offseason, leaving a void behind starter Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Realistically, the former rugby player faces an uphill battle to earn a spot out of camp, but a good showing during camp could keep his name in the mix, given the somewhat lackluster options for third-string duties. He could also be a practice squad option if he doesn't earn a roster spot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Adjudsting to NFL physicality
Rees-Zammit has struggled during pass protection drills in training camp, and he noted Saturday that football is "very physical" and is a completely different sport than rugby, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
"I've had to learn to adapt and lower my body height," Rees-Zammit added. "In rugby, that's not too much of a big deal. The blows you take here are pretty big." The former rugby player was an elite winger, and his speed has been utilized on kickoff returns during training camp. However, speed isn't the only skill required to play in an NFL backfield, and the young Welsh player will need to showcase his development in the preseason, starting with Saturday's bout against the Jaguars.
