Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney suffered yet another injury in the AFC Championship game, so his Super Bowl availability could be up in the air. While Toney hasn't been a fantasy stud this season, fantasy gamers and DFS enthusiasts should stay tuned for his latest updates.
The Super Bowl single-game DFS slate features plenty of expensive assets, so Toney will undoubtedly be a consideration in those tournaments if he can play.
Is Toney healthy enough to play in the Super Bowl and what is his fantasy outlook if he suits up? Let's take an early look.

Kadarius Toney Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Toney (ankle) was banged up early in the Chiefs' AFC title victory over the Cincinnati Bengals and he was not able to return to game action. Toney finished the day with one catch for nine yards, but he barely missed scoring the first touchdown of the day for either team.
Ultimately, it's too early to know what his chances to play are, but it did look like he was going to be heavily involved in the offense before get got hurt. There will be a long build-up to Super Bowl 57, so DFSers should stay updated for further information surrounding his status.
Kadarius Toney Super Bowl Fantasy Outlook
Toney led Chiefs' wideouts with seven targets, five receptions, and 36 yards in the AFC Divisional win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and was close to scoring a touchdown in the first quarter against the Bengals, so we can't simply write him off if he can take the field against the Philadelphia Eagles.
While the Eagles presented the toughest matchup for wide receivers during the regular season, Toney isn't necessarily the prototypical wideout and route runner. Andy Reid is unpredictable, so any of the Kansas City offensive skill players can be featured heavily or at least in the red zone in any game.
As things stand, Toney is just the 19th-most expensive player on the slate and is a nice option to save some cash while targeting big names like Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, A.J. Brown, and Travis Kelce.
