Kansas City Chiefs Roster FANTASY FOOTBALL 2025

Kansas City went 6-11 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014. Patrick Mahomes tore his left ACL on a non-contact play in Week 15 against the Chargers and was lost for the year, the first major injury of his NFL career. The Chiefs were 5-9 at the time of the injury and had effectively been eliminated from playoff contention. Carson Wentz, signed off the street in October, started the final three games.

Mahomes had thrown for 3,200 yards and 19 touchdowns to 10 interceptions in his 14 starts, the worst statistical year of his career. The offense, missing Rashee Rice for the first six games on a suspension and Travis Kelce for stretches with a hamstring injury, ranked 21st in scoring. Andy Reid kept his job and the franchise's defining defining streak of nine straight AFC West titles ended.

The Chiefs lost seven games by a field goal or less, including a four-game losing streak in October that defined the year's mood. Steve Spagnuolo's defense was top-ten in points allowed but couldn't cover for the offensive issues. The franchise enters 2026 with Mahomes expected to be fully healthy and the broader question of whether the dynasty's window has truly closed.
