Kansas City Chiefs Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco racked up 22 carries in Sunday's win over the Rams but managed just 69 yards (3.1 per rush). He saved his fantasy line with a 3-yard TD in the 3rd quarter, his 2nd score of the year. Ronald Jones claimed the only 4 other RB carries for the game and caught his only target, matching Pacheco on that front. RB Jerick McKinnon drew 6 targets -- tying for 2nd on the team -- and caught 3 balls for 26 yards. Pacheco has now seen 15+ carries in 3 straight games.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes didn't have his sharpest outing in Sunday's win over the Rams. He did throw for 320 yards, hitting 10 different teammates with no Chief collecting more than 57 receiving yards. TE Travis Kelce led in yards and targets (8), claiming the TD among his 4 catches. Rookie WR Skyy Moore led the team with 5 catches (for just 36 yards) among 6 targets. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling was the only other Chief to catch more than 3 balls or crack 40 yards.

WR Marquise Brown led the Cardinals with 8 targets in Sunday's return from IR. He also played 15 more snaps than WR DeAndre Hopkins and ran 3 more routes. Hopkins still drew 6 targets and caught 4 balls for 87 yards and a TD. Brown managed 6 receptions for 46 yards. RB James Conner was the only other Cardinal to catch more than 1 pass. Brown's return could limit the target upside for Hopkins going forward, but there should be room for both at least as long as slot WR Rondale Moore is out.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) is officially active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. It’ll be his 1st action since Week 6. It’s unclear exactly how big a role Brown will play, but Arizona could certainly use him with both WR Rondale Moore (groin) and WR Greg Dortch (thumb) inactive. Consider Brown a risk/reward WR3 play today.

The Cardinals have activated WR Marquise Brown from IR. Brown has been out since breaking a bone in his left foot in Week 6 but should find targets available. Arizona will be without slot man Rondale Moore, and slot backup Greg Dortch is questionable.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) is expected to be activated from IR and play vs. the Chargers on Sunday, HC Kliff Kingsbury said. Brown has been practicing for a couple of weeks now after going down back in Week 6. He carries elevated risk in his 1st game back but certainly has enough upside to make sense in plenty of fantasy lineups. Brown averaged 10.7 targets, 7.2 catches, 81 yards and .5 TDs over the first 6 games of the season -- although none of those came with WR DeAndre Hopkins.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. We're not expecting him to play vs. the Rams this weekend after hurting his hamstring again in last Sunday night's win over the Chargers.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire has been placed on IR with his high-ankle sprain. He'll miss at least the next 4 weeks and can be dropped from redraft rosters. We'll see if CEH's absence gets RB Ronald Jones on Kansas City's active roster on game days, but this now figures to be a 2-man backfield with Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon.

The Commanders have designated QB Carson Wentz to return to practice. That leaves 3 weeks to decide whether to activate him from IR. Wentz has been out since injuring his throwing hand in the Week 6 win at Chicago. HC Ron Rivera has recently expressed confidence in QB Taylor Heinicke, though, amid a 4-1 stretch with him behind center. Don't bet on Washington going back to Wentz until/unless the team starts losing more (barring injury, of course). Heinicke's arrival has been good for WR Terry McLaurin's target shares, but the team passing numbers are way down from where they were with Wentz: from 248.2 yards per game to 206.2.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Monday that RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered a right high-ankle sprain in Week 11. He’s likely looking at a multi-week absence. Given his recently reduced role, CEH is droppable in most fantasy formats.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) was not activated from IR for tonight's game vs. the 49ers, as The Score's Jordan Schultz reported would be the case yesterday. Brown is reportedly aiming for a Week 12 return after getting back on the practice field this past week.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco racked up 107 yards on 15 carries in Sunday night's win over the Chargers. It marked the rookie's 2nd straight game with at least 15 carries and 80+ yards. Clyde Edwards-Helaire appeared headed for a larger role than in Week 10 before an ankle injury sidelined him. RB Jerick McKinnon led the backfield in snaps but saw most of that work in the passing game. Pacheco and the Chiefs get worse rushing matchups over the next 3 games. An enticing date with the Texans awaits in Week 15, though.

Teammate injuries presented opportunity for Chiefs rookie WR Skyy Moore in Sunday night's win over the Chargers. he finished 2nd on the team in targets (6) and receptions (5), trailing only TE Travis Kelce. Moore's 63 yards ranked 3rd on the team. Moore still finished just 3rd among K.C. wideouts in routes and 6th among all Chiefs. We'll see about the injury situations for JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kadarius Toney heading into Week 12. Mecole Hardman is out at least 3 more games on IR.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce scored all 3 of his team's TDs in Sunday night's win over the Chargers. He led the way in targets (10), receptions (6) and receiving yards (115), accounting for 35% of Kansas City's passing yardage. It was Kelce's 4th 100-yard game of the season and 2nd with multiple scores. He leads all TEs by more than 6 PPR points per game for the year.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes overcame a slow-ish start for his team to throw for 329 yards and 3 TDs in Sunday night's win over the Chargers. He found TE Travis Kelce for all 3 scores and 35% of his yardage. K.C. entered the game without JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman, and then lost Kadarius Toney to a hamstring injury. That left Skyy Moore and Justin Watson as the most productive wideouts, at 63 and 67 yards, respectively. It was Mahomes' 6th game this season of 3+ TDs and his 5th straight with more than 300 passing yards.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire is out for the rest of Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers after suffering a 1st-half ankle injury. That leaves Kansas City's backfield to Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney injured a hamstring in the 1st half of Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers and is officially questionable to return. He failed to catch his lone target before exiting. Stay tuned for an update.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire left in the 1st quarter of Sunday night's game against the Chargers with a right-ankle injury. He's officially questionable to return.

The Score's Jordan Schultz reports that Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) won't play vs. the 49ers on Monday night. Brown returned to practice this week after chipping a bone in his foot in Week 6. He's "feeling much better" and is hoping to return for Week 12, per Schultz. But Brown should be on fantasy benches for Week 11.

The Cardinals have designated WR Marquise Brown (foot) to return from IR. That opens a 3-week window for him to return to practice and the team to decide whether to put him back on the active roster. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport adds, however, that Brown "could play" this Monday night against the 49ers. He's worth grabbing off waivers this week where available either way but would be tough to throw into fantasy football lineups right away. We'll keep an eye on Brown's status heading into the weekend.
