The Kansas City Chiefs have waived wide receiver Justyn Ross as of July 16, 2025. This decision highlights the competitive nature of the Chiefs' wide receiver room, which includes players like Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, and Xavier Worthy. Ross, who played 12 games with the Chiefs, recording 6 receptions on 12 targets for 53 yards, struggled to secure a significant role.
For fantasy football in 2025, Ross is not a draftable asset unless he signs with another team and secures a meaningful role. Meanwhile, Elijhah Badger emerges as a potential deep dynasty stash, given the open competition for depth roles in a Patrick Mahomes-led offense. Badger's prospects are intriguing as he competes for a roster spot during training camp.
