In deeper leagues or if you have bench space, Jalen Royals is worth a stash... With some slot work (22.2% interior snap rate) and crossing routes as part of his usage, Royals' 'Rice-like' workload could bear fruit if he gets time to build rapport with Mahomes.

Royals worth stashing in deeper leagues; could see Rice-like workload if injury lingers.

Royals is worth a stash in deeper leagues or with bench space as a potential beneficiary of Rashee Rice's hamstring injury. The Chiefs used formations with at least two TEs on 53.4% of plays in Week 4, and Royals ran a route on 64% of Mahomes' dropbacks. With 22.2% interior snap rate and crossing routes as part of his usage, Royals' workload could resemble Rice's if he builds rapport with Mahomes. His ceiling case depends on Rice's extended absence and increased opportunity.
