2025 Fantasy Outlook
Danna has emerged as a consistent contributor since joining the Chiefs as a 2020 fifth-round pick, having started 35 of his last 36 appearances. Calf and pectoral injuries forced him to sit out four regular-season games in 2024, which contributed to his recording only 3.5 sacks compared to 6.5 in 2023. While Danna isn't likely to emerge as a consistent fantasy contributor in IDP formats, he's secure as a key member of Kansas City's pass rush. Read Past Outlooks

Misses Wednesday's practice
DEKansas City Chiefs
Quadriceps
September 17, 2025
Head coach Andy Reid told reporters that Danna (quadriceps) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old from Michigan sustained a quadriceps injury in Kansas City's Week 2 loss to the Eagles, so it's no surprise he's missing Wednesday's practice. His participation in practice Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play in the Week 3 matchup against the Giants. If Danna is unable to go, expect Charles Omenihu and Ashton Gillotte to see increased defensive work.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
Danna produced his most impactful professional season last year, racking up career-best marks of 6.5 sacks and 50 tackles (32 solo). He also graded out as the team's best run defender and tackler along the defensive line per PFF. The Chiefs rewarded him this offseason with a three-year, $24 million pact, keeping the starting front four intact for a Chiefs defense that amassed the second-most sacks (57) in the league behind the Ravens in 2023.
Danna appeared in 13 games during the 2022 season and recorded 27 total tackles, five sacks and two forced fumbles. The 25-year-old defensive end should continue his role as a key depth piece for the Chiefs' defensive front.
Danna carved out a depth role on the Chiefs' defensive line as a rookie, tallying 25 tackles (16 solo) and 2.5 sacks. If he can take a step forward ahead of 2021, the second-year defensive lineman could be in line for a larger role.
