2024 Fantasy Outlook
Nnadi didn't post the best campaign of his career in 2023 and graded out as the team's worst defensive lineman, per PFF, but he still snared a one-year, $2 million contract from the Chiefs to stick around in K.C. for at least one more year. Nnadi finished the regular season with 29 tackles (16 solo) and a sack but missed the team's playoff run due to injury. He'll presumably continue to see regular action in 2024, though Tershawn Wharton may continue to siphon away some snaps beside Chris Jones. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Activated off PUP list
The Chiefs activated Nnadi (triceps) from the active/PUP list Tuesday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Nnadi was placed on the PUP list at the start of training camp due to a triceps injury he sustained in the Chiefs' wild-card win over the Dolphins. The 2018 third-round pick out of Florida State played in all 17 regular-season games in 2023, finishing with 29 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended. Now that he's healthy, Nnadi will look to get in reps with the first-team defense alongside fellow pass rushers George Karlaftis, Mike Danna and Chris Jones (shoulder).
