Jalen Royals at Seattle — Expanding rotational role in a banged-up receiving corps
Jalen Royals has seen increased involvement in Kansas City's passing attack with Tyquan Thornton sidelined on injured reserve. Coming off a four-target outing where he posted two catches for 24 yards, the young wideout continues to earn rotational snaps on the outside.
For this road matchup against Seattle, our weekly projection expects Royals to tally roughly two receptions for 25 yards (5.9 fantasy points). While injuries to Kansas City pass catchers offer slight upside, he is rostered in just 1% of leagues and remains a bench option in standard formats.

Outlook Roschon Johnson
Roschon Johnson vs. Patriots — Expanded Backfield Role Offers Deep-League Appeal
With Kyle Monangai ruled out with a thumb and toe injury, Roschon Johnson serves as the direct complementary back to D'Andre Swift. Johnson showcased his role last week against Atlanta, converting 13 carries for 51 yards and a touchdown while seeing third-down work despite a fourth-quarter fumble.
Fantasy managers have taken notice, pushing his roster rate up to 20%. In an anticipated high-scoring home contest against New England, our projections expect Johnson to log roughly six carries for 25 rushing yards alongside a couple of targets. While Swift limits his volume ceiling, Johnson is a viable deep-league play with goal-line upside.
