Chiefs may not need another quarterback

May 11, 2009

Chiefs QB Matt Cassel is the starter. The Chiefs also have backups Tyler Thigpen, Brodie Croyle and Ingle Martin. Croyle didnâ€™t participate in a recent veteran minicamp. His season ended last October with a knee injury and surgery. Chiefs coach Todd Haley indicated Sunday that Croyle could be ready to play by the start of training camp in late July. If so, the Chiefs wonâ€™t be in need of another quarterback, at least in terms of numbers. â€œAs it stands, yeah,â€ Haley said. â€œCroyle is the wild card right now just on when weâ€™re going to get him back. Weâ€™re hoping that before camp heâ€™ll be ready to go.

â€œWeâ€™ll keep all options open and weâ€™ll talk about these guys that were in here this weekend and anyone else thatâ€™s available or becomes available.â€

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
