Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes II's MRI did not reveal a major elbow injury, 'so far, so good' Sun Nov 8, 08:19 PM
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes II underwent an MRI following Sunday's win over the Jets, and the tests did not reveal a major injury, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported, citing sources.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes' elbow strain/sprain will be monitored over the next few days for pain and swelling, but "so far, so good." Mahomes returned to the game after the injury. Again, this is a story we'll be following closely in coming days. |

Patrick Mahomes II aims to get 'swelling and the fluid out' of throwing arm this week Sun Nov 8, 07:26 PM
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes II said after Sunday's win over the Jets that he wasn't throwing the ball the way he wanted to after injuring his throwing arm, but started throwing better toward the end of the second half as he got warmed back up. "That'll be important this week getting the swelling and the fluid out of it so I can be ready to go from the first snap next week," Mahomes said. Head coach Andy Reid said assistant athletic trainer Julie Frymyer worked on the arm throughout the game and that it helped.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes didn't appear to be impacted by the injury and finished the day completing 23 of 31 passes for 242 yards (7.8 yards per attempt) with 2 touchdowns and no turnovers. Mahomes said he felt good after the game. "I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow, but we'll get right to it and work on it." Still, we'll be following this one closely in coming days. In addition, we'll watch for the Chiefs' expected pursuit of a wide receiver before Tuesday's trade deadline. The Colts' Josh Downs and Jacksonville's Brian Thomas Jr. are among the candidates who would fit with the Chiefs. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes to get more tests on right elbow after Sunday's injury Sun Nov 8, 05:43 PM
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will undergo more tests on his right elbow after injuring it in Sunday's 35-12 win over the Jets. Mahomes appeared to suffer a potentially serious injury late in the first half but did not miss any offensive snaps until garbage time.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes has special flexibility and healing powers, as we've seen him beat his ACL surgery timeline significantly, and only miss two games after suffering a dislocated kneecap in 2019. Hopefully that will get him through this incident relatively unscathed. #2 overall pick and new head of the New York Sack Exchange David Bailey devoured Mahomes just as he had fully cocked his arm in his throwing motion, and Mahomes appeared to be in great pain as he left the field. Stay tuned, as Justin Fields is the backup, which would significantly change the Chiefs offense if Mahomes has to miss any time. |

Chiefs | Andy Reid 'not making any decisions right now' on Harrison Butker Sun Nov 8, 05:06 PM
Chiefs HC Andy Reid addressed K Harrison Butker unprompted in his opening statement after Sunday's win over the Jets: "I'm sure I'll be asked about Butker. I'll address that as we go throughout the week. I'll look at everything, and no need to ask. That'll be the answer that you get. I'm not making any decisions right now today." Butker was heavily booed after missing a field goal to end the first half. Kansas City has K Justin Tucker on its practice squad.

Chiefs | Walker runs for 102 yards, one TD, two receiving TDs in win over Jets Sun Nov 8, 04:10 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Ken Walker III ran 18 times for 102 yards and a touchdown and also caught 4 passes for 41 yards and two touchdowns on 4 targets in Sunday's 35-12 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 20.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 34.3.
| Footballguys view: Walker had cooled off with only 141 total yards and no scores in the last two games. He atoned this week by piling up 143 total yards and finding paydirt three times. He overwhelmed a Jets defense that has been beaten just about every way you can beat a defense in the last three weeks. Walker will take aim at a weary Falcons defense that got run ragged by Joe Burrow in Madrid today. |

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy goes down grabbing his hamstring, Chiefs likely to add a WR Sun Nov 8, 03:53 PM
Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy went down grabbing his hamstring during Sunday's game against the Jets. The Chiefs have been calling teams about wide receivers for weeks, and it was already likely that Kansas City would add a WR before Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Worthy had six receptions for 48 yards when he left the game, so he was functional in the short-range passing game even though he hasn't become the deep threat the Chiefs hoped he would be when they moved up to take him in the 2024 first round. Josh Downs and Brian Thomas Jr. are the names most frequently mentioned as wide receiver trade targets for Kansas City. |

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday after being limited on Wednesday. He has no game designation heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Kelce was limited on Wednesday but has logged back-to-back full practices since. Start him as a back-end TE1 against the Jets this week. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice has no game designation for Week 9 Fri Nov 6, 02:56 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday after being limited on Wednesday. He has no game designation heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Rice suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2024 and played through a hamstring injury last week, explaining his designation on this week's report. The Chiefs are liberal with their injury report inclusions, and there's no indication Rice won't be his normal self against the Jets this week. Start him as a WR2. |

Chiefs | Chiefs 'will explore what's available' at WR, Thomas Jr. and Downs mentioned Mon Nov 2, 06:15 AM
Chiefs GM Brett Veach told CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson during Sunday's loss to the Broncos that, with WR Tyquan Thornton out for the season and WR Rashee Rice having a history of soft tissue injuries, the team "will explore what's available at the wide receiver position."
| Footballguys view: Wolfson added that Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and Colts WR Josh Downs have been mentioned and that the Chiefs "will make calls and see where everything stands" over the next week. ProFootballTalk reported that the Chiefs, Steelers, and Commanders have interest in Thomas, and that Downs is Kansas City's Plan B if it cannot pry Thomas away from Jacksonville. Stay tuned. The trade deadline is Nov. 10. |

Chiefs | Mahomes throws for 321 yards, three touchdowns in loss to Broncos Sun Nov 1, 07:40 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes II completed 30 of 41 passes for 321 yards with 3 touchdowns in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 16.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.4.
| Footballguys view: For three quarters, Mahomes was excellent, tying a career high with three touchdown passes under pressure and looking more confident as the game progressed. But as ESPN.com's Nate Taylor noted, the QB's decision not to throw the ball away on third-and-2 from the Broncos' 30-yard line, losing 6 yards on the sack, was uncharacteristic and a critical reason for the loss. The Chiefs face the Jets in Week 9. |

Chiefs | Johnson runs for 15 yards, 128 receiving, one receiving TD in loss to Broncos Sun Nov 1, 07:40 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Emmett Johnson ran 1 time for 15 yards and also caught 5 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 4.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.8.
| Footballguys view: Johnson continued to demonstrate he's one of the best plug-and-play handcuffs in the league. As a standalone play, he may seem like a good waiver-wire target considering his fantasy production, but Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke notes the rookie's role has been decreasing on early downs rather than increasing. |

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) is off the injury report and set to play Sunday against the Broncos.

Patrick Mahomes II off injury report, set to play Sunday Fri Oct 30, 03:44 PM
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes II (knee) is off the injury report and set to play Sunday against the Broncos.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes has been on the injury report every week this year since last year's season-ending ACL tear, but it hasn't impacted his ability to practice or play. Despite two down games, he's a high-end QB2 this week, with Rashee Rice expected back in the fold. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice 'will be up' Sunday against the Broncos Fri Oct 30, 02:09 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring) will be active for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Broncos, Sam McDowell reported on Friday. Rice was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday in his return to the field.
| Footballguys view: Rice strung together back-to-back games with 80-plus yards before exiting Week 4's game with a hamstring injury. He returned to practice this week and should be good to go on Sunday against the Broncos. The Chiefs passing offense has sputtered the last couple of weeks, and Rice should resume his role as the team's primary target. He's a WR2 this week and has extra value in PPR leagues. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice limited again on Thursday Thu Oct 29, 04:45 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday, his second straight limited session. Rice hasn't played since tweaking his hamstring in Week 4. The Chiefs visit the Broncos on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Getting Rice back would be huge. He's missed two games and had a bye week to recover from this hamstring/knee problem. The Chiefs offense needs all the help they can get in the passing game. Rice may play against the Broncos, but they're getting All-Pro CB Pat Surtain back for Sunday's game. |

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. It was his first time on the field since his hamstring injury, which kept him out of last Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Kansas City visits the Broncos on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Rice hasn't played since Week 4 against the Raiders. This is a big road game for the Chiefs in Week 8, and the Broncos should be getting All-Pro CB Patrick Surtain II back for this contest. If he plays, you'll want to consider Rice as at least a deep flex play in Week 8. |

Chiefs | Brashard Smith to IR with hamstring injury, Jaydn Ott signed to active roster Sat Oct 24, 02:30 PM
The Chiefs placed RB Brashard Smith on injured reserve with a hamstring injury on Saturday, sidelining him for at least the team's next four games. Rookie RB Jaydn Ott was signed from the practice squad to the 53-man roster in his place. Head coach Andy Reid said on Friday that Smith would be out for Sunday night's game at Seattle and that Ott would make his NFL debut.
| Footballguys view: Ott's early-career tape from Cal (2023) showed a player with a natural ability to feel rushing lanes and the vision to maximize yards before contact. His final year at Oklahoma was disappointing and injury-riddled, but in super crazy deep dynasty formats, we've been intrigued by the undrafted rookie. It's all about Ken Walker III (and Emmett Johnson is the primary backup), but we'll be interested to see if Ott can get a few snaps. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice ruled out for Sunday night against Seahawks Fri Oct 23, 02:09 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (right hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, head coach Andy Reid said on Friday. Rice did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and a knee issue was added to his injury report on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: The injury was originally dismissed as minor, but fantasy managers now brace for their third straight week without Rice. The hope was that Rice would be active after the Chiefs' Week 5 bye, but he was inactive in Week 6 and hasn't practiced since. Last week, Xavier Worthy had his best game of the season, while Jalen Royals and Andrew Armstrong ran as full-time receivers. Worthy is in the WR2 discussion, while Royals and Armstrong fall into touchdown-or-bust options desperate deep-league managers may want to consider. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice misses practice for second straight day Thu Oct 22, 04:51 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice officially did not practice on Thursday for a second straight day due to a hamstring injury. Rice was ruled out for last Sunday's Week 6 game against the Chargers with the injury. The Chiefs visit the Seahawks on Sunday night in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Rice is trending towards missing the game against the Seahawks. That means Xavier Worthy will operate as the Chiefs' top wide receiver in Week 7. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice won't practice Wednesday, 'getting better by the day' Wed Oct 21, 12:54 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Andy Reid said. Reid added that Rice is "getting better by the day." Rice was ruled out for Week 6 against the Chargers with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs travel to play the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football in Week 7. Rice wasn't able to play last week, and missing practice on Wednesday is not a good sign for his availability. If Rice has to miss another game, expect more looks for Xavier Worthy. At this time, we like Worthy as a WR3/flex option in Week 7. |

Chiefs | Walker runs for 128 yards, two TDs in win over Chargers Sun Oct 18, 07:30 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker ran 19 times for 128 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 2 passes for 11 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 22-6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 21.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.9.
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com suggested, it wasn't the explosion Walker produced in the season opener, but for yet another week, the former Seahawk proved his star isn't burning out anytime soon. His patience, change of direction, burst, and refusal to go down on first contact made him a nightmare for Chargers defenders to attempt to stop. Walker gets a revenge game in Week 8, with Kansas City playing in Seattle. |

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (right hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, head coach Andy Reid said on Friday. Rice had missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Reid also ruled out Josh Simmons (bulging disc in lower back) for Sunday.
| Footballguys view: There was hope Rice could return after the bye, but he didn't log a single practice this week before being ruled out. The Chiefs will hope to welcome him back next week against the Seahawks, but he'll need to return to practice before we can speculate. In Rice's absence, Jalen Royals should be more involved than normal. But expect the Chiefs' offense to concentrate further on Ken Walker III, Travis Kelce, and Xavier Worthy. |

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice did not practice again on Thursday due to his hamstring injury. Rice also did not practice on Wednesday, per head coach Andy Reid. He suffered the injury in the first quarter of the Chiefs' game on Sunday, October 4.
| Footballguys view: This is a 'tweaked' hamstring according to Andy Reid. It seems like Rice is on the wrong side of questionable for Week 6. Xavier Worthy may be the top wide receiver for the Chiefs, and we've got him in the WR2/flex range. |

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Andy Reid said. Rice injured his hamstring in the first quarter against the Raiders on Oct. 4 and left that game.
| Footballguys view: Hamstring injuries on fast players are tricky to deal with. Rice could suit up in Week 6, but coming off a bye and missing practice on Wednesday is not a great sign. We'll see if he can at least be limited by Friday at the latest. |

Chiefs | Tyquan Thornton expected to miss 12-16 weeks, needs ankle surgery Mon Oct 5, 04:01 PM
Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton is expected to miss 12-16 weeks after dislocating his ankle in Sunday's win over the Raiders, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Thornton will undergo surgery within the week and has a real chance at a late-season or postseason return, Rapoport added. Thornton caught five passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns against the Raiders before leaving with the injury. The Chiefs appear to be interested in adding Tyreek Hill to their roster, but there's nothing concrete on that. For now, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen will play larger roles behind Rashee Rice, who's dealing with a hamstring injury, and Xavier Worthy. |
