2023 Fantasy Outlook
Toney is fun to watch, until he gets hurt. The Giants took him 20th overall in 2021, three months after his 22nd birthday, wowed by the 4.39 speed and ankle-breaking jukes and not too worried about the lack of college production (it wasn't until his season year at Florida that he topped 500 scrimmage yards). It's too early to definitively say they were wrong, though the Giants gave up on him late last October when they dealt him to Kansas City for picks at the end of the third and sixth rounds. Toney showed both the good and the bad for the Chiefs, missing more time with a hamstring injury but also averaging 12.1 yards on 19 touches in the regular season (including three TDs). He reached the 20-snap threshold just once, and later took only 30 snaps across three playoff snaps -- partly on account of an ankle injury. The good news? Toney's talent is obvious, he's healthy this offseason and now has a chance to earn a starting job in an offense with good blocking, great coaching and superb QB play. The other guys competing for WR snaps are 2022 second-round pick Skyy Moore, 2023 second-rounder Rashee Rice, mediocre veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling and bargain-bin signing Richie James.

Not playing in Super Bowl
Toney (coach's decision) is inactive for Super Bowl LVIII against the 49ers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Toney's second season with the Chiefs hasn't gone swimmingly, to say the least. In his second-to-last appearance back in Week 14 against the Bills, he lined up offsides on what would have been a go-ahead touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce. Since his last game action Week 15, Toney has been tending to a strained hip and an ankle injury before sitting out the AFC Championship Game due to personal reasons. Despite operating as a full participant during both weeks of Super Bowl prep, he won't be available to Kansas City's offense, ending his campaign, one where he had 27 catches (on 38 targets) for 169 yards and one touchdown and 11 carries for 31 yards in 13 regular-season games.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
The book on Toney coming out of college read all-athleticism, no-polish — understandable,
considering he had nearly as many carries as catches through his first three seasons at Florida
before breaking out in 2020. The Giants took him 20th overall last year, and while it's hard to
call his injury-plagued rookie season a success, Toney never looked overwhelmed and put up
189 yards against Dallas in Week 5. He played just five more games after that, hampered by
two stints on the COVID list and injuries to his quad, thigh, hamstring, ankle, thumb and
shoulder. The Giants still have QB Daniel Jones, a potential limiting factor, but they ditched the
old coaching staff for a new group headed by former Bills OC Brian Daboll. There's an opening
for a Year 2 leap, as Toney's versatility could prove an asset for a receiving corps that's
otherwise fairly specialized (Kenny Golladay, Sterling Shepard, Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius
Slayton). Toney is the fastest of the bunch, with 4.39 speed, but he'll be a bit behind the others
this summer after having arthroscopic knee surgery in the offseason. He should be ready for
training camp, after sitting out OTAs and minicamp this spring.
