Dec 15, 2009

The Detroit Lions have placed running back Kevin Smith and tight end Casey FitzSimmson on the injured reserve list and they'll be lost for the season.

The Lions signed free agent tight end Michael Matthews to replace FitzSimmons and they promoted Cedric Peerman from the practice squad to replace Smith at running back.

Report: Chiefs, QB Patrick Mahomes agree to megadeal

ESPN

yesterday · 3:48 PM EDT

The Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes have reached agreement on a 10-year contract extension that ties him to Kansas City through the 2031 season, league sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Chiefs picked up Mahomes' fifth-year option for the 2021 season in April, putting him under contract for the next two seasons. The 10-year extension puts him under contract with the Chiefs for the next 12 seasons.

Fantasy Impact:

The Chiefs said they intended to sign their franchise quarterback to an extension but had previously indicated it might not happen until after this season, the story said. Mahomes, 24, was named Super Bowl MVP after Kansas City's 31-20 victory over the San Francisco 49ers to become the first quarterback in NFL history to win a league MVP and Super Bowl before turning 25. Mahomes became the youngest quarterback to be named Super Bowl MVP and was the league MVP in 2018. Of course, Mahomes is also a top-tier fantasy QB, currently second in our rankings behind Lamar Jackson.

My understanding is TE David Njoku remains a big part of the Browns plans, going back to the winter and the transition in the organization.

Related players: Austin Hooper

Fantasy Impact:

Njoku has wanted out of Cleveland for a while, according to reports, perhaps even more now with the Hooper signing. Anderson said the Browns believe Njoku can still have a great year for the team. Anderson added in the tweet the Bears are monitoring the situation.
