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.
