Outlook Jalen Royals
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 Seth McGowan
Seth McGowan at Minnesota — Limited Value Behind Jonathan Taylor
Operating as the primary backup behind Jonathan Taylor on the depth chart, McGowan remains locked into a minor complementary role. Over his last two games, he has combined for only nine carries and 43 rushing yards while remaining virtually nonexistent as a pass-catcher. While his roster share has nudged up toward 9%, he does not command enough consistent touches to warrant weekly fantasy consideration.
Indianapolis heads on the road as 6.5-point underdogs against an undefeated Vikings squad in a matchup with low projected scoring. Our models project McGowan for under three carries and approximately 2.1 fantasy points. Starting in under 1% of leagues, he offers virtually no standalone floor and should remain parked on fantasy benches.
