Giants WR Richie James (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Commanders. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so he’s seemingly on track to be cleared and play. James, of course, is just a low-upside play in PPR leagues. He caught 3 balls for 20 yards against Washington a couple of weeks ago.

Giants WR Richie James (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. We'll see if he can clear through the protocol in time for Sunday night's big game vs. the Commanders, but he shouldn't be in your fantasy plans right now.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is on the Week 15 injury report with a right hand. He was a full-go in practice, and ESPN's Adam Teicher confirms that Mahomes is fully expected to play vs. the Texans this weekend. We'll keep an eye on the situation.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was limited in practice all last week before missing the Broncos game. Toney is expected back for this weekend's game vs. the Texans, but he can't be trusted in fantasy lineups.

Giants WR Richie James is in concussion protocol, HC Brian Daboll said Monday. That puts James' availability for this weekend's game vs. Washington in question. We'll track his status throughout the week.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes threw for 352 yards and 3 TDs in Sunday's win over the Broncos. He also tossed 3 INTs in a game that almost slipped away from K.C. The positive side of that matters a lot more to fantasy football managers than the turnovers do. It was just his 2nd game this season with multiple INTs, but his 7th game among the past 8 with at least 320 yards passing.

Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon caught a season-high 7 passes in Sunday's win over the Broncos. He turned those into 112 yards and 2 TDs. The big strike came when QB Patrick Mahomes made an underhanded flip to evade defenders that turned into a 56-yard score. McKinnon added a 10-yard score later in the 2nd quarter. He sat tied with JuJu Smith-Schuster for 2nd on the team in targets at halftime and finished tied with Travis Kelce for 2nd (with 9). It marked the 4th time in the past 6 games that McKinnon drew 6+ looks and the 2nd straight game he reached 10 opportunities. (McKinnon added 6 carries for 22 yards against Denver.) Isiah Pacheco added 70 yards on 13 carries and 3-23 receiving on 3 targets vs. the Broncos. The Chiefs get a high-ceiling rushing matchup with the Texans in Week 15.

WR Richie James led the Giants in targets (9), receptions (7) and receiving yards (61) in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He capped it off with 2 catches on the final drive from QB Tyrod Taylor after New York pulled QB Daniel Jones -- including the Giants' final TD. WR Isaiah Hodgins checked in 2nd with 6 targets and 4 catches. His 38 yards ranked 3rd behind WR Darius Slayton (2-42 on 3 targets). Hodgins also caught Jones' lone TD pass, marking the young wideout's 2nd straight game with a TD. TE Daniel Bellinger managed just 3-19 receiving on 3 targets in his 2nd game back from an eye injury.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Broncos. He was limited in practice all week and seems to be tracking toward a Week 15 return.

The Score's Jordan Schultz reports that Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) won't play vs. the Broncos on Sunday. "I’m told Toney has made good progress and the Chiefs are hopeful he’ll be good to go next week," Schultz adds. Kansas City will roll with WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore against Denver tomorrow.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (foot) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He said early in the week that he was dealing with a bruised foot, but it won’t be a factor in Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. HC Andy Reid said Friday that Toney is "right there on the border" to play Week 14. We’ll see if he can make it back for this one, but he can’t be trusted in fantasy lineups.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. We'll see if he can make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos, but there's no way Toney could be trusted in Week 14 fantasy lineups.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes told reporters on Wednesday that he suffered a bruised foot in last week's loss to the Bengals. He added that he'll practice on Wednesday and doesn't expect the foot to be an issue vs. the Broncos this weekend. We'll keep an eye on Mahomes over the next few days but aren't adjusting his Week 14 projections.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco ran for 66 yards and a TD on 14 carries in Sunday's loss to the Bengals, adding 16 yards on 2 receptions. RB Jerick McKinnon carried 8 times for 51 yards and caught a 2-yard TD among 2 receptions for 9 yards. Kansas City leaned more on the run, handing to RBs 22 times vs. just 27 Patrick Mahomes pass attempts. Week 14 holds a Denver defense that has been a worse RB-scoring matchup than Cincinnati. But after that comes better matchups with Houston and Seattle.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes threw for a season-low 223 yards on 16-of-27 passing in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. K.C. leaned more toward the run than usual, going 55.5% pass vs. 44.5% run. Mahomes threw just 1 TD pass for the 2nd week in a row, finding RB Jerick McKinnon from 2 yards out in the 2nd quarter. Mahomes did, at least, run for a 3-yard TD in the 3rd quarter to help his fantasy line. Next comes a Denver defense that has been tough on the pass for much of the year. Mahomes threw for 184 and 270 in last year's 2 meetings with the Broncos.

Giants WR Richie James (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Commanders. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. James is a low-upside PPR play.

Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. He didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday but was a full-go on Friday. So McKinnon will evidently be ready for his usual pass-catching role vs. the Bengals this weekend.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. He remained sidelined in practice all week and has no timetable for return.

Giants WR Richie James (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and should be available come Sunday. But he's a weak fantasy play at less than 100%.
