The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.

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.

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.

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

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.

On his Zoom call with the beat coach Mike Macdonald says Kenneth Walker's issue is his calf.

The post added it's no longer Walker's ankle that's the issue. The post also added the Seahawks are sending Walker for more tests, and they should know more about how much longer their lead RB may be out. Walker didn't practice last Thursday and Friday before being downgraded to out on Saturday. ESPN and Adam Schefter said Walker should have a chance to play in Week 15, but owners will want to monitor how the tests go and see if Walker can get on the practice field this week. Charbonnet had a huge game filling in, rushing 22 times for 134 yards and two TDs, adding seven catches for 59 yards.

Spencer Shrader, already filling in for the injured Harrison Butker, is set to miss Tuesday’s practice with a hamstring injury.

That’s part of why the club signed Matthew Wright to its practice squad.

The Chiefs play on Friday against the Raiders so it's a situation to monitor if you were counting on Shrader this week. Shrader has made 3-of-3 field goals and 6-of-6 extra points in the last two games, the story pointed out.

As Rapoport pointed out, it's a fresh start for the former second-round pick from the 2022 draft class who was waived Saturday. Any time the Chiefs make a move on offense it's worth note in terms of fantasy. That's not to say Thornton is going to step in and be a factor anytime soon, but he may be worth a stash in dynasty leagues if he happens to be on your wire.

Andy Reid confirmed Pacheco and Omenihu would not play against Bills but JuJu Smith-Schuster is likely to be a go

Related Players: Kareem Hunt, Deandre Hopkins, Xavier Worthy

Hopkins has shown a good connection with Patrick Mahomes right out of the gate, so we should keep him in WR3 territory, even with Smith-Schuster back in the lineup. The other KC WR options are desperation boom/bust plays in Week 11.

Sources: Chiefs are signing kicker Spencer Shrader off the Jets practice squad and placing kicker Harrison Butker on injured reserve due to a knee injury.

Formerly of the Colts and Jets, Shrader has made both of his attempted field goals and all three of his XPs. He's likely a fine streamer if you missed out on waiver runs.

JuJu Smith-Schuster won't play Sunday against Broncos for third straight game. No surprise since he didn't practice this week

Looks like it'll be another lost week for JuJu, which puts both Worthy (low) and Hopkins (high) on the WR3 radar against the Denver secondary.

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.
