Charles Goldman of Chiefs Wire gave a projection this week for the 53-man roster and left RB Ronald Jones out. "Shocked to not see Ronald Jones' name here? [Jerick] McKinnon's return endangers him more than some are willing to admit," Goldman writes. "I'm left wondering about the things Jones does well enough to make this roster." He goes on to point out that Jones stinks in the passing game, and McKinnon has fared well in that area. We certainly agree with that. And Jones was guaranteed just $750K on his 1-year contract this offseason. Goldman's projection includes McKinnon and 7th-round rookie Isiah Pacheco making the team over Jones and Derrick Gore. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in camp and preseason. For now, we're still betting on Jones making the team. McKinnon enjoyed a nice playoff run for last year's Chiefs, but he collected just 12 carries and 20 targets for the regular season. Kansas City then let him linger on the open market until well after it had signed Jones. You can consider us unexcited about either Jones or McKinnon for fantasy football drafting.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire is dealing with a bruised shoulder and is considered "week-to-week," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. "It will be challenging" for him to play against Cincinnati this Sunday, Schefter adds. It sounds like we should expect Darrel Williams to start, with Derrick Gore as the #2 RB. Expect Williams to land among the top 15 RBs in our Week 17 rankings.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire exited in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Steelers with a collarbone injury. We'll pass along an update when we get one. Edwards-Helaire's absence leaves Darrel Williams as Kansas City's lead back, with Derrick Gore the #2.
