Insight: Bowe seemed hesitant about coming back to the Chiefs earlier this offseason but that may have changed when he found out that Alex Smith would be the quarterback next season. He should be able to reach 1,000 yards again next season after falling short of that mark in 2012 (801 yards in 13 games).

Description: NFL.com's Ian Rapaport reports that the Chiefs and free agent wide receiver Dwayne Bowe are working on a long-term contract.
Insight: After the season it looked like Bowe was headed elsewhere but now it appears he's thinking about coming back to Kansas City. Bowe has finished with over 1,000 receiving yards three times in his last five seasons and it could have been four out of five if he had been healthy last season (missed three games due to injury).

Description: If Kansas City free agent wide receiver Dwayne Bowe were to return to the Chiefs next season, he could benefit from new coach Andy Reid's love of the passing game.
Insight: Bowe was thought to have played his last game in Kansas City, but should consider returning to play for a coach who historically throws the ball at one of the highest percentage rates in the league. Over his 14-year career in Philadelphia, Reid's teams threw the ball 57.2 percent of the time and ran it just 42.8 percent.
 
12/19/2012 10:07:00 PM
Description: The Kansas City Star suspects wide receiver Dwayne Bowe has played his final game with the Chiefs.
Insight: Bowe will become a free agent after the season and should be one of the most coveted receivers on the market. Why would Bowe come back to a team that has won only two games all season when he could play for a better team and make more money somewhere else? Bowe is currently on injured reserve with broken ribs.
 
12/15/2012 8:53:00 PM
Description: The Chiefs have officially placed injured receiver Dwayne Bowe on injured reserve.
Insight: Bowe suffered a season-ending rib injury in last Sunday's loss to the Browns. His 801 receiving yards this season account for the wideout's lowest total since 2009 when he reeled in only 589 yards in 11 games.
 
12/10/2012 8:39:00 PM
Description: NBC Sports reports Kansas City wideout Dwayne Bowe will be placed on injured reserve after breaking his ribs in Sunday's loss to the Browns.
Insight: He'll finish the season with 59 catches for 801 yards and three touchdowns. With Bowe sidelined, we'd expect the Chiefs to rely more on their running game going foward, which means a heavy workload for franchise running back Jamaal Charles (1,220 yards, four TD).

Insight: The team fears that Bowe suffered broken ribs Sunday against the Browns. His fantasy value has been on life support since midseason anyway so you likely moved on long ago.

Insight: Bowe had two receptions for 70 yards before heading to the locker room at the end of the first quarter. Fantasy owners have likely already learned to live without Bowe since he's been largely ineffective due to shoddy QB play this season.
 
12/9/2012 2:06:00 PM
Description: Kansas City wideout Dwayne Bowe left Sunday's game versus Cleveland with a rib injury and is questionable to return.
Insight: Bowe had two receptions for 70 yards before exiting. Both Bowe and Jamaal Charles have gone down with injuries to the rib area in Sunday's game.
 
11/25/2012 4:42:00 PM
Description: Kansas City wideout Dwayne Bowe saw 12 targets Sunday but had just four receptions for 41 yards.
Insight: Bowe had to catch passes from Brady Quinn while watching Peyton Manning sling the ball to Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker. How cruel. He should be parked on fantasy benches.
 
11/25/2012 12:04:00 PM
Description: Kansas City wideout Dwayne Bowe, who sat out the entire second half Sunday against Cincinnati with neck and back problems, is active for the game against Denver.
Insight: That's the good news. The bad news is that Brady Quinn is his starting quarterback and he'll be covered by the talented Champ Bailey.
 
11/23/2012 11:50:00 AM
Description: Kansas City wideout Dwayne Bowe, who sat out the entire second half Sunday against Cincinnati with neck and back problems, is probable for Sunday's game against Denver, according to coach Romeo Vrennel who expects him to play.
Insight: That's the good news. The bad news is that Brady Quinn is his starting quarterback and he'll be covered by the talented Champ Bailey.
 
11/19/2012 9:18:00 AM
Description: Kansas City wideout Dwayne Bowe sat out the entire second half Sunday against Cincinnati. Bowe left the game in the second quarter after suffering a neck injury.
Insight: The Chiefs were getting crushed so they may have held Bowe out simply to avoid making the injury any worse. The Associated Press reports that Bowe did not suffer a concussion, which is obviously good news for fantasy owners.
 
11/18/2012 2:46:00 PM
Description: Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe left Sunday's game in the second quarter with a head injury. His return is doubtful.
Insight: Bowe landed on his head and went to the locker room. When he returned he didn't have his helmet with him, a pretty sure sign that he's not returning anytime soon.
 
11/1/2012 11:24:00 PM
Description: Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe was targeted 10 times in Thursday's game against the Chargers. Bowe caught eight passes for 79 yards but lost a fumble in the first quarter.
Insight: Bowe came in having caught just six passes for 90 yards in the last two games. We think Matt Cassel is better for Bowe's fantasy value than Brady Quinn but neither quarterback really maximizes Bowe's talent.
 
10/17/2012 6:03:00 PM
Description: Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe "very badly" wants out of Kansas City, according to Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports. Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post cited a team source in saying that the Dolphins are not currently in trade talks with the Chiefs for Bowe.
Insight: While we'd like to see what Bowe could do with Ryan Tannehill throwing him the ball instead of Matt Cassel or Brady Quinn, a move to Miami would likely serve to hinder his fantasy value, especially short-term. As Volin pointed out, veteran 11-year veteran Jabar Gaffney is having a lot of difficulty learning the Dolphins' complicated no-huddle offense and communications. Bowe could have the same issues trying to catch up midseason.
 
10/9/2012 8:18:00 PM
Description: The Chiefs may have some quarterback issues but it isn't impacting Dwayne Bowe. The receiver is on pace for 99 catches and 1,286 yards receiving, both of which would be a career high.
Insight: Bowe has been targeted 57 times, second most in the NFL. Kansas City will probably run Jamaal Charles 30-plus times again, especially with Brady Quinn starting in place of a concussed Matt Cassel, but Bowe will still get his targets.
 
9/30/2012 4:52:00 PM
Description: Chiefs wideout Dwayne Bowe was limited in practice during the week with a groin injury but it didn't hurt him Sunday. The receiver turned in his second 100-yard game of the season.
Insight: Bowe caught seven passes and a touchdown and now has 25 receptions and three scores in four games. It's nice to see Matt Cassel's inconsistent play is not hurting Bowe one bit.
 
9/30/2012 11:57:00 AM
Description: Chiefs wideout Dwayne Bowe is listed as active for Sunday's game versus the Chargers. Bowe has been limited in practice over the last week because of a sore groin.
Insight: Matt Cassel owners must be thrilled by this news. Kansas City's top receiver should be in for a solid fantasy game Sunday against a San Diego squad that was ripped to shreds a week ago versus Atlanta.
 
9/29/2012 8:05:00 PM
Description: Kansas City receiver Dwayne Bowe is expected to play Sunday versus the Chargers according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Bowe is listed as questionable with an injured groin.
Insight: The Chiefs will likely need to pass the ball early and often to keep up with San Diego's high-powered offense. Bowe should see plenty of targets in Week 4, despite the groin issues.
