Richie James Corrals 43-Yard Pass On Sunday
9 months agoKansas City Chiefs wide receiver Richie James caught two of three targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-24 preseason loss to the New Orleans Saints. The 27-year-old made his mark in the second quarter, beating Saints defensive back Alontae Taylor for a 43-yard reception on a well-placed Blaine Gabbert deep ball. James then got loose near the corner of the end zone for a one-yard score to cap off the drive. The former seventh-round pick was one of 2022's catch rate leaders at WR with 57 receptions on 70 targets (81.4% clip) for the New York Giants, and Sunday's performance can only bode well for James' playing time going forward. With Kadarius Toney (knee) not a lock for Week 1, fantasy managers will want to monitor James throughout the preseason and if he can carve out a slot role behind presumed starter Skyy Moore.
