Team news: Kansas City Chiefs

And now Mahomes said he's been cleared from the concussion protocol. So he's good to go on Sunday

Fire up Patrick Mahomes' props and DFS, as he's good to go against the Bills on Sunday.

Patrick Mahomes, with a helmet, is practicing today.

It's looking more and more like Patrick Mahomes will suit up on Sunday for the Chiefs, which is good news for Kansas City, along with DFS players and bettors.

Patrick Mahomes is in the concussion protocol. "We'll follow that and see how he does the next couple of days," Andy Reid said.

If Patrick Mahomes doesn't clear protocol this week, Chad Henne would get the start for the Chiefs against Buffalo. Check for Mahomes' practice participation as the week progresses.

Chiefs RB Clyde-Edwards Helaire will not play Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Adam Teicher of ESPN.

Le'Veon Bell is in line to start again, giving CEH two weeks to heal.

Chiefs WRs Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins will not play Sunday, according to Adam Teicher of ESPN.

The two are out with injury designations and not rest like Patrick Mahomes. The duo will have a bye week to heal.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill missed Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury.

There is a strong likelihood that the Chiefs play it safe and hold their star receiver out of Week 17's contest against the Chargers. Kansas City has nothing to play for with the AFC locked up and has already announced that Patrick Mahomes will be sitting out. Tyreek is set up to be a DFS fade even if he is active, as he will likely see his snaps scaled back significantly. He will also have to deal with Chad Henne at quarterback.

Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid announced Wednesday that the team will rest Patrick Mahomes in Week 17 and start Chad Henne at quarterback Sunday against the Chargers.

The Chiefs have already locked up the top seed in the AFC so it wouldn't be surprising if other starters besides Mahomes end up sitting or having reduced workloads in Week 17. This news is a great example of why redraft fantasy seasons should end in Week 16.

Andy Reid confirms some of the key starters won't play Sunday against Chargers. "Certain guys will have the opportunity to rest up,'' he said.

No specifics were mentioned but one has to assume Mahomes, Kelce, Bell and Hill could be among those not to dress, or at the very least see limited time in Week 17.
