Scoring Zone's Take

Anthony Dunn's release is equally inconsequential from a fantasy standpoint. Defensive ends carry no standard fantasy value, and even in IDP formats, a player getting waived signals he wasn't going to see the field enough to matter anyway. There's no need to drop him from anywhere since he almost certainly isn't on a roster in your league to begin with.

Bottom line for both leagues you're prepping for: no action needed. Don't add Jones, don't worry about Dunn. File this away as depth-chart noise on the Chiefs' defensive side of the ball. If you're in a deep IDP dynasty league, keep an eye on how Kansas City's linebacker corps shakes out through the rest of camp, since roster churn like this can occasionally open a path for a late-round IDP flier — but there's nothing in this transaction itself that changes any valuations for your draft board today. Confidence in this read is high given the straightforward nature of the moves, even though the source confidence itself is moderate.

The Chiefs have brought a key special teams contributor back to their building.
