Smith-Schuster (hamstring/quadriceps) is expected to suit up for Monday Night Football versus the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith-Schuster's hamstring tightened up during Saturday's practice, and he's officially listed as questionable, but it looks like he should be available Monday. The 25-year-old is second on the Chiefs offense in terms of both catches and receiving yards behind Travis Kelce, though he hasn't scored through four contests. A final word on Smith-Schuster's availability will come roughly 90 minutes prior to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Smith-Schuster's hamstring tightened up during Saturday's practice, which caused the wideout to be limited, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports. Smith-Schuster is officially listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Smith-Schuster was previously listed on the injury report as a full participant due to a quad injury, but he logged a limited session Saturday after picking up a hamstring issue. Reid seemed optimistic about the wideout's availability and said, "I think he'll be fine." Through his first four games with Kansas City, Smith-Schuster has caught 19 passes for 224 yards, both good for second on the team behind Travis Kelce.

Smith-Schuster (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Raiders after experiencing hamstring tightness during practice this week.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Andy Reid seemed dismissive of the notion Smith-Schuster could possibly miss the big AFC West divisional matchup, but it's worth noting the veteran receiver appeared to pick up an injury to his hamstring at some point during practice Friday or Saturday. Since coming over from the Steelers this offseason, the 25-year-old has been a solid PPR option with 19 receptions off 27 targets, but he's failed to score a touchdown and has seen just two red-zone targets total this season.

Smith-Schuster caught five of eight targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Smith-Schuster posted another solid PPR stat line and now has 21 receptions for 224 yards through four games with his new club. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound wideout figured to make a better red-zone target for Patrick Mahomes this year, but the duo have yet to connect for a score. Juju has lost some of the explosiveness from his heyday with the Steelers, but he is in a role that provides him with flex appeal heading into a matchup against the Raiders next Monday.

Smith-Schuster secured five of eight targets for 89 yards in the Chiefs' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith-Schuster led the Chiefs in receptions and receiving yards while tying for the team lead in targets. The veteran's yardage tally was also his best of his first three games in Kansas City, and he now has a pair of eight-target tallies during that span as well. Smith-Schuster's 53-yard reception was a game-long grab as well, making it a solid all-around day for the ex-Steeler. Smith-Schuster appears to have solid rapport with Patrick Mahomes early, giving him a positive fantasy outlook despite a tough Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers.

Smith-Schuster brought in all three targets for 10 yards in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Chargers on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
After producing a solid 6-79 line on eight targets against the Cardinals in his Chiefs debut on Sunday, Smith-Schuster was much quieter four days later. The veteran wideout saw four players log more targets than his three, and he was utilized strictly in a short-area role as his numbers imply. Smith-Schuster's production could well fluctuate a good bit from game to game as Patrick Mahomes enjoys more freedom to spread the ball around with Tyreek Hill no longer part of the air attack, but he'll aim to boost his numbers back up against the Colts in a Week 3 road battle.

Smith-Schuster (shoulder) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Kansas City listed Smith-Schuster as a limited participant on Monday's estimated report, but he didn't face any restrictions when the team held a more traditional practice session Tuesday. The wideout thus looks to be in the clear to play Thursday against the Chargers, coming off a solid debut in last week's 44-21 win over the Cardinals in which he recorded six receptions for 79 yards on eight targets while playing 46 of the Chiefs' 70 snaps on offense.

Smith-Schuster (shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his debut with Kansas City in Sunday's 44-21 win over the Cardinals, Smith-Schuster logged 46 of a possible 70 snaps on offense en route to catching six of his eight targets for 79 yards. Following his listing on Monday's initial injury report, the wideout's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Thursday night's game against the Chargers, but so far there's nothing to suggest that Smith-Schuster is in danger of sitting out the contest.

Smith-Schuster caught six of eight targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 44-21 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The former Steeler led all Kansas City wide receivers in receptions, yards and targets on the day, although Marquez Valdes-Scantling (4-44 on four targets) and Mecole Hardman (3-16-1 on six targets) also saw significant volume. With Tyreek Hill now in Miami, Patrick Mahomes figures to spread the ball around more than he did in years past, but Smith-Schuster made an early case to be his No. 2 option behind Travis Kelce.

Smith-Schuster relayed Wednesday that his knee is fully healed ahead of Week 1 action, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, the wideout dealt with some preseason knee soreness, but Smith-Schuster has moved past the issue and is on track to play in Sunday's season opener against the Cardinals. In that contest, Smith-Schuster is in line to be a key cog in a wide receiver corps that no longer includes Tyreek Hill, and will also feature Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore.
