2023 Fantasy Outlook
Heading into the 2023 campaign, Buechele will serve as an emergency option at quarterback behind Patrick Mahomes and Blaine Gabbert. The 25-year-old signal caller spent time on Kansas City's practice squad and active roster last season, but he did not see any action on the field. Buechele will likely fill a similar role in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could challenge Henne
Nate Taylor of The Athletic believes Buechele could challenge Chad Henne in camp and preseason for the Chiefs' backup quarterback spot.
ANALYSIS
Few quarterbacks across the NFL have more job security than Patrick Mahomes, but who will occupy Kansas City's backup spot isn't a foregone conclusion. Buechele signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent prior to the 2021 season and has substantially improved his accuracy and deep ball since then. If Henne shows any signs of decline at age 37, Buechele could emerge as Mahomes' backup.
