yeah, on most teams this is a job they give to one of the backups. Not to a starter. It feels like something odd is going on here.

Toney may have even been an addition by subtraction. I really dont see what the guy was adding. outside that one playoff where he played well, the guy has been largely MIA since. I'm amazed the chiefs kept him on the roster as long as they did.

I heard mason was making a good case to replace Mitchell anyways. reports I saw suggested he was having a great camp.

pretty solid in a PPR format. if one of them goes, you could sub in Sequon who seems to be available on the turn most drafts. (assuming you like him)

you need to spell the guy from time to time. and a backup in case of injury is good planning. while he has been durable so far in his career, that doesnt mean you dont want a good quality backup. While I think Lloyd should be that guy, but he hasnt been overly healthy so far so they will be adding someone. Who that someone will end up being remains to be seen.

I was wondering about this myself. didnt see anything pertaining to IR but he has a grade 1 hamstring pull which he should be recovered to a point where he can play (or very close. grade 1 pulls have a reasonably short recovery time... certainly not IR worthy)

or there is a free agent RB they feel is better than him that they plan to sign.

hes not in a million dollar house? Maybe that's the problem.

I have AJ ranked ahead of him on my board for the very reason you mentioned. with a good QB JJ is the better play. but with a mediocre to bad one.... I'll take AJ all day long. hes only one year removed from a 1500 yard season as a WR. I think hes got another one in him. if not, the 1200-1300 yards is likely similar to what JJ gets with his new QB.

he is a good insurance policy. nothing more. he is a big bodied WR so could be a nice red zone target from time to time. but he likely shouldnt be on your starting roster unless its a deep league. I'd say hes good for 400-600 yards and a handful of TD. if someone gets hurt and he moves up the depth chart he has 850 yard upside but I'd bet against that scenario playing out.
