Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught 6 of 8 targets for 42 yards in Monday's upset loss to the Jaguars. He entered the night questionable with a shoulder/ankle injury and briefly left this game in the third quarter.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy returned from his shoulder injury with a bang. He ended the game with a team-leading eight targets. His final stat line of 5-83 was a solid fantasy day, despite not finding the end zone. He also had two runs for 38 yards including a 35-yard scamper. He did all this while playing limited snaps. Worthy’s 43 snaps ranked well below Juju Smith-Schuster who led the Chiefs’ WRs with 57 snaps. But Worthy’s presence seemed to ignite a Chiefs’ passing game that was dormant. QB Patrick Mahomes threw for 270 yards and 4 TDsin the game.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown sustained an ankle injury in Tuesday's practice, HC Andy Reid said. No word yet on the severity or a timeline for Brown's return.

Update: Brown "avoided anything serious and is expected to be back on the field as early as tomorrow," according to insider Jordan Schultz.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 16 injury report and will start Saturday's game vs. the Texans. He was a full participant in practice all week. Reportedly dealing with a high-ankle sprain, it's safe to assume that Mahomes won't have his usual mobility against Houston. And he'd already been underwhelming in fantasy football, finishing outside the top-15 QBs in four of his last five games. Mahomes sits well outside QB1 territory in the Week 16 Rankings, but his availability is good news for the rest of Kansas City's offense.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said after Sunday's win over the Browns that QB Patrick Mahomes is "day-to-day" with his ankle injury. The ankle is not broken, Reid added. It sounds like Mahomes dodged a significant injury, although he has one fewer day to get ready for Saturday afternoon's game vs. Texans. We'll keep you updated on his status throughout the coming week. QB Carson Wentz is Kansas City's backup.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes left Sunday’s game against the Browns with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of today’s game. Despite throwing two TDs, Mahomes only competed 50% of his passes going 19-for-38 for 159 yards.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He's officially questionable to return and has been replaced by QB Carson Wentz. With the Chiefs nursing a 14-point lead, we don't expect to see Mahomes back out there. We'll look for further updates on the ankle injury.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes avoided a serious ankle injury in Monday’s win over Tampa Bay. Mahomes hurt the ankle on a late-game throw on the run. "I was obviously running for the goal line, kind of had committed to running the football, and at the last second saw Samaje and so kind of awkwardly rolled the ankle a bit," Mahomes told reporters postgame. "Definitely scary, I think it hurt more just because it was the same ankle I rolled last week. So scared me a little bit, but once I took my breath and kind of calmed down a little bit, it ended up not being too bad." He might miss some practice time, but Mahomes is on track to face Denver in Week 10.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown suffered a sternoclavicular joint dislocation in his left shoulder in Saturday's preseason game, HC Andy Reid said afterward. "He'll miss some time," Reid said, adding that this is similar to the injury WR Tyreek Hill suffered in 2019. Hill missed four games with that injury.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy took the field with teammates for the first practice of training camp Wednesday. That was in question after the first-round pick missed some spring workouts because of a hamstring injury.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has been added to the injury report with an illness but will play vs. the Broncos later today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. At this point, there's no reason to believe that Mahomes' fantasy production will be affected. We'll let you know if that changes.

The Jets traded WR Mecole Hardman to the Chiefs in exchange for a swap of late-round picks in 2025, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Hardman signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Jets in free agency this offseason -- and wound up catching one pass for the team. Now he heads back to the team he spent his first four NFL seasons with. Hardman was largely disappointing with the Chiefs but did average 4.7 targets, 3.4 catches, and 40 yards per game across the 2021 and 2022 campaigns. Kansas City's 2023 WR corps has been completely underwhelming and just lost Justin Watson to an elbow injury. Expect to see Hardman step into a significant role rather quickly, although he's still unlikely to be an asset to fantasy football teams. He's only worth grabbing in very deep leagues.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) practiced fully all week and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's AFC Championship game vs. the Bengals. Mahomes still tossed 2 TDs and 195 yards while looking visibly slowed by this ankle issue last week vs. the Jaguars. Even if his mobility is limited, his full practice participation every day this week should instill confidence in fantasy managers this weekend. It's hard to bet against a dominant player like Mahomes despite the fact that the Bengals' defense ranks as the 2nd-toughest matchup in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Monday that QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) will play in Sunday's AFC Championship game vs. the Bengals. Mahomes "worked hard on the treatment and is doing OK," Reid said, adding that this high-ankle sprain isn't as bad as the one Mahomes suffered in 2019. That injury occurred in the season opener and didn't cost Mahomes any further time. There wasn't much doubt that Mahomes would play against Cincinnati this weekend, considering he returned to the win over Jacksonville. The question is to what extent the ankle injury will impact his performance. We'll keep a close eye on the situation throughout the week. The Chiefs are currently just 1-point favorites over the Bengals, suggesting some concern about Mahomes' status.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (right hand) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. Nothing to see here.

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 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 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.
