Chiefs sign Jerrick McKinnon

Dontayvion Wicks, Eagles WR1 with DeVonta Smith out, is now listed on the injury report with a hammy. Limited on Thursday.

Related Players: Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Elijah Moore, DeVonta Smith, Hollywood Brown, Dallas Goedert, Zach Ertz, Jalen Hurts

If Wicks joins Smith and Brown on the sideline, Lemon and Cooper would have a clearer path to enough targets for WR3/FLEX consideration. Lemon would be the preferred option, while Cooper would become more viable in deeper leagues. Goedert could also benefit if active, though his own injury complicates that contingency. A healthy Wicks would remain a FLEX option if Smith and Brown are unavailable.

Chris Olave was limited with a foot injury. He did not participate yesterday due to rest.

Related Players: Devaughn Vele, Juwan Johnson, Tyler Shough

If Olave sits, Vele would have a stronger claim to WR3/FLEX consideration, with WR2 upside if he absorbs a substantial share of Olave’s targets. Johnson would become a more appealing TE1 play with additional receiving opportunities available. Losing his top WR would make Shough a less attractive QB2 option. Olave remains a WR1 if healthy enough to play his usual role.

Ashton Jeanty went from full participation Wednesday to limited participation Thursday.

A Thursday downgrade warrants attention for a projected RB1. Washington becomes the primary contingency if Jeanty misses time.
