Patrick Mahomes will “most likely end up playing” on Saturday, per Coach Reid.

There’s also a “good chance” Hollywood Brown will play.

We'd like a little more reassurance here, but at least we have some hope that Mahomes will be available to elevate the offense. Mahomes should be benched in favor of a streamer in most fantasy formats.

For a second straight day, the Chiefs listed Patrick Mahomes as a full participant in practice.

Obviously a great sign for the Chiefs pass-catchers and Mahomes himself. The quarterback should likely be benched in your fantasy semi-finals in a not-great matchup against the Texans in a game that has seen its over/under drop to 41.5.

Patrick Mahomes is listed as a full participant on the team’s first injury report of the week.

It was a pretty positive outcome for fantasy owners counting on Mahomes in Week 16. The story said Reid spoke to reporters before practice and said they would see what Mahomes was able to do during a light practice. The answer was that he did everything that the Chiefs asked of him, the story pointed out. Keep in mind it was a light workout. It's possible Mahomes is listed as limited later in the week. As we stated earlier today, we're still some time away from Saturday, so it will be worth monitoring right up to game time. Owners may still want to have a backup plan in place.

Tests results indicated Patrick Mahomes is dealing with a high ankle sprain and there's a "possibility" he could miss Week 16.

Rapoport's messaging in this clip can be taken a couple of different ways. The positive view is Mahomes "possibly" missing this week can almost be taken there's a better chance he plays. The situation reminded Rapoport of the playoff game against the Jags a few years ago, where Mahomes didn't finish the game the week before, but came back and played the following week. Rapoport added that, long-term, Mahomes will be fine, and that Mahomes' body is "built differently," so it won't be the normal 4-6 week recovery time for a high ankle sprain. We're a long way from Saturday's game, but if Mahomes can't play, Wentz would get the start against the Texans. Mahomes owners should probably be thinking of a backup plan now in case he's unable to play, so picking up Wentz may not be a bad idea if you own Mahomes in deeper leagues, or two-QB and superflex leagues.

The timing doesn't come at a great time for the Chiefs and Mahomes fantasy owners. The post said Mahomes is still considered week-to-week leaving his status for Week 16 in doubt. As was also stated, the schedule could make it tough for Mahomes to get in the lineup. The Chiefs have a Saturday game against the Texans, which is then followed by a quick turnaround for Christmas against the Steelers. The Chiefs currently have the one seed, but also have the Bills hot on their tails. Wentz will get the start if Mahomes is unable to play.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is considered week to week with a right ankle injury.

Mahomes left during the second half after having his ankle rolled up and was slow to get up, limping to the sideline. Week to week on a normal schedule is tough enough. It’s even tougher when the next two games fall on a Saturday and then the following Wednesday. Mahomes will likely be questionable for Christmas Day against the Steelers, let alone Saturday against the Texans. If Mahomes is out, Carson Wentz would likely get the start after he replaced Mahomes Sunday.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is questionable to return to Sunday’s game against the Browns with an ankle injury.

Mahomes took a hit during the fourth quarter and was slow to get up after his ankle appeared to get rolled up on. Carson Wentz is now in at quarterback. The Chiefs have a two-touchdown lead late in the game. The Chiefs may choose to let Mahomes rest for the remainder of the game. The Chiefs have a somewhat short week coming up as they play on Saturday against the Texans before another short week leading to their Christmas Day game against the Steelers.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes injured his ankle while throwing a touchdown pass on Monday night, but he stayed in the game and said afterward that he’s fine.

“Definitely scary,” Mahomes said. “I think it hurt more, just because it’s the same ankle I rolled last week, so it scared me a little bit, but once I took a breath and calmed down a little bit, it ended up not being too bad. We went in there, got a re-spat and went back on the football field.”

Mahomes said he had to argue with both the trainers and coach Andy Reid to assure them he was fine, the story said. Mahomes added he wanted to jog off the field but wasn't allowed. It was a scary moment for fantasy owners who saw Mahomes throw for three TDs in the game. And, his stock seems to be on the rise with the addition of WR DeAndre Hopkins. Mahomes seems like he'll be good to go, but if anything, this is maybe a reminder for Mahomes' owners to back him up on rosters by adding Wentz, especially in deeper, two QB or superflex leagues.

“Yeah, it’s crazy because teams still — the respect factor they have for Travis Kelce is just unreal,” quarterback Patrick Mahomes said after Sunday’s 22-17 victory over the Falcons. “It’s well-deserved, but we’re calling a lot of plays for Travis, and it’s like two or three people are going to him. So, I mean, he understands."

Through three games, Kelce has just eight catches on 12 targets for 69 yards. While it’s been just three games it’s still a significant dip in production for the veteran tight end. His 8.6 yards per reception is well off his career average of 12.5 — or even last year’s mark of 10.6. His 2.7 receptions per game is way off last year’s 6.2, the story said. Mahomes did point out the attention Kelce is getting is freeing up other players, especially Rashee Rice who has been the Chiefs fantasy star so far this season.

Cardinals WR Hollywood Brown is signing with the Chiefs, another high-octane target for Patrick Mahomes. One of the most talented WRs available, Brown lands in a perfect spot on a 1-year deal worth up to $11M with a chance to cash in next year.

The first addition for the Chiefs WR room has finally come, in the form of Brown. This is unlikely to be the last piece they add, but the immediate impact is bad news for Skyy Moore and Justin Watson, who technically hold the outside roles as it stands prior to the signing.
Hollywood set a new career high by lining up out wide on 79.8% of his snaps last season, and should offer big-play potential in fantasy. His exact value is going to depend on who else the team targets over the next two months.
