The Kansas City Chiefs will look to win their third successive Super Bowl in 2024 on the back of their elite offense, which features some of the NFL's best fantasy football assets.

Despite losing some offensive pieces such as Jerick McKinnon, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Blake Bell, the Chiefs should look as good as ever on that side of the ball.

Coach Andy Reid is arguably the best offensive mind in the NFL; pair him up with some of the best offensive players in the league and you've got yourself some excellent fantasy football assets.

Chiefs' best fantasy assets in 2024

#5. Xavier Worthy, WR

The Chiefs took WR Xavier Worthy with the 32nd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft (via a trade with the Bills) after he broke the 40-yard dash record with a 4.21s run.

In three seasons at Texas, Worthy gained 2,755 yards on 197 receptions and scored 26 touchdowns.

Worthy could see extended playing time to begin the year as fellow new WR Marquise Brown is likely to miss the beginning of the year due to injury. If he's able to establish himself as part of the Chiefs' offense early, his #85 overall ADP could be a steal.

#4. Rashee Rice, WR

Alongside Worthy in the wide receiver room would be second-year receiver Rashee Rice.

Despite offseason legal troubles, Rice hasn't been suspended by the NFL at the time of writing, so should he be available, he'll look to improve on his WR27 ranking in PPR scoring from 2023.

Rice had 105 receptions for 1,200 yards and eight touchdowns, including postseason with the Chiefs last season. Should Rice be available to play come Week 1, he's an excellent WR2 or Flex option in fantasy football.

#3. Isiah Pacheco, RB

Isiah Pacheco established himself as the lead running back in Kansas City in 2023 and was RB15 in PPR scoring.

This was with Jerick McKinnon still in the building, who has since left, leaving Pacheco with the chance for more reps in 2024. In four games without McKinnon playing last year, Pacheco averaged over 20 touches and 100 yards.

Pacheco was seventh in the NFL in red zone touches and will likely garnish more if he's seeing more reps. His ADP is currently #24 overall and he's a solid RB2 with RB1 potential depending on his workload.

#2. Travis Kelce, TE

The best fantasy football tight end in recent seasons, Chiefs TE Travis Kelce remains an elite asset in 2024.

Despite many claiming he had a poor 2023 season, Kelce led all tight ends in fantasy points per game. His rapport with quarterback Patrick Mahomes is known throughout the league, and it has helped both the Chiefs and fantasy football owners who had him on their team.

His ADP is currently #28 overall, according to fantasypros.com, as the likes of Sam LaPorta and Trey McBride are rivaling him for TE1 in 2024. Don't bet against Kelce.

The best quarterback in the NFL also remains an elite fantasy football asset in 2024. Despite only ending 2023 as QB8 in fantasy football, he led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl win after an 11-6 regular-season record.

Mahomes and Travis Kelce are arguably the best connections in the NFL, and along with Rashee Rice, the Chiefs added extra firepower with the additions of Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy.

The 2024 offense could be the most well-rounded Mahomes has had to work with as he looks to work towards a historic three-peat for Kansas City.
