The Facts: The Chiefs believe Toney can be the "No. 1 type receiver" they're looking for this season according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
Diehards Line:
This news comes on the heels of Fowler's appearance on ESPN Radio, where he discussed the possibility of the Chiefs signing DeAndre Hopkins. Fowler noted that while the Chiefs are interested in signing Hopkins, their confidence in Toney could prohibit them from being as aggressive as other teams on the market for Hopkins' services. Toney's explosiveness has never been in question, but the former first-rounder has struggled to stay healthy through his first two seasons. Taken 20th-overall by the Giants out of Florida in 2021, the new regime in New York soured on him quickly and traded him to to Kansas City at the trade deadline last year. Toney was a key factor in the Chiefs Super Bowl win in February and is still only 24 years old. If he's able to play a near-full slate of games in 2023, his upside while tethered to Patrick Mahomes could make him a screaming value in fantasy.
