Chiefs' Jason Avant: Heads into free agency following slow season
Jason Avant finished the 2015 season with just 15 catches for 119 yards on 24 targets.The veteran wideout struggled to find the field consistently, and averaged less than a grab per game as a result. He signed just one-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs before the 2015 campaign, and could be a candidate for retirement in the offseason if he can't find work elsewhere.

Chiefs' Jason Avant: Two grabs Sunday
Wilson caught both of the two passes thrown his way Sunday for 26 yards against the Chargers.Jason Avant continues to work in a limited role, but did see 34 snaps to rank third among receivers Sunday. He'll face a decent matchup next Sunday against a Bills team allowing 251.9 passing yards per game, but doesn't present a reliable option given the usual offensive gameplan.

Chiefs' Jason Avant: Limited action Sunday
Jason Avant saw limited action in Sunday's game against the Steelers, collecting two passes for 11 yards.Avant hauled in both of his targets on the day, but saw limited action despite being the Kansas City Chiefs third option at receiver in the absence of Jeremy Maclin (concussion). He'll likely continue to see the field in a limited fashion, but won't see enough volume to be worthy of fantasy consideration in most formats.

Packers blank Chiefs WR Albert Wilson on Monday
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Albert Wilson was held without a catch in the Monday night game against Green Bay Phoenix.Wilson was targeted just once when he wasn't looking, and played fewer reps than rookie Chris Conley and veteran Jason Avant. Even if Wilson does start, he can't be relied upon given that he has just three catches for 25 yards through three weeks this season.

Chiefs WR Jason Avant targeted four times in Monday defeat
Kansas City Chiefs receiver Jason Avant caught just two passes for eight yards in the defeat to Green Bay Phoenix on Monday night.The veteran was targeted four times. The fact that the Chiefs were behind the entire second half likely played into his boosted playing time, however, so he'll likely continue seeing limited action, with a ceiling near the 38 snaps (54 percent) he saw against the Green Bay Packers.

Chiefs WR Jason Avant played just nine snaps in Week 2
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jason Avant (hip) played just nine snaps in Thursday's game against the Broncos. Avant has been listed on the injury report with a hip issue, but his full participation in practice this week likely indicates that's not the reason he's barely playing. The Chiefs tend to employ many heavy sets with multiple tight ends, and the Chiefs seem set to give De'Anthony Thomas more snaps. Both of theses factors will likely limit Avant's playing time on Sundays.
