Team news: Kansas City Chiefs | Page 22

Chiefs WR Justin Watson, who leads his team with 21.9 yards per catch, suffered a dislocated elbow last night, sources say. X-Rays were negative and he's getting an MRI now. He's out a few weeks at least, and it could be longer based on the results of the scans.

The Chiefs wide receiver room was already looking rough, as they continue to move the ball through TE Travis Kelce first and foremost. Rice doesn't line up on the perimeter as often as Watson has, but the rookie's role could continue to grow after his 4-72 output on Thursday Night Football.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) is trending upwards and should play tonight barring a setback. Meanwhile, RB Javonte Williams (quad) is set to return for the Broncos.

Kelce should clearly be played in all lineups in all formats if he is good to go tonight. Even if he is limited, he still has the ceiling to finish the week as the TE1.

The Chiefs list Travis Kelce, George Karlaftis, and Tommy Townsend as questionable for tomorrow vs the Broncos. It does seem like Kelce is in a good position to play, but we’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Teams with deep benches should make sure that Gray is not sitting on waiver wires, but it seems like Kelce will probably be out there for Week 6.

With Anthony Richardson out at least four weeks, Gardner Minshew becomes the Colts’ QB1. Colts also signed QB Kellen Mond to their practice squad.

Minshew becomes an intriguing streaming target in deep leagues, but his Week 6 matchup against the Jaguars isn't the best place to plug him in. Richardson should be kept in IR slots wherever possible.

The Cardinals are placing RB James Conner (knee) on injured reserve, per source. He’s out at least four games.

As we reported all this week so far, any missed games from Conner could mean is Demercado Season. Ingram has missed the last couple of contests with his own injury, and when Conner went down last week, Demercado took over the lead role at running back - and even scored a touchdown. He's not necessarily a safe fantasy play, but in deeper leagues you may be able to at least count on his workload. The Cardinals travel to play the Rams which are among the better teams in rushing defense.

Chiefs’ HC Andy Reid said Travis Kelce (ankle) will practice today.

Kelce was listed as DNP for Monday's estimated session. Kelce is rumored to have a low ankle sprain. He was able to return in Week 5, and at least at this point, his status looks encouraging heading into Week 6, which is a Thursday night game against Denver.

Cardinals’ RB James Conner is expected to miss multiple weeks with the knee injury he suffered Sunday vs. the Bengals.

Schefter went on to say Conner is now a candidate to be placed on injured reserve, per sources, which would mean he'll miss at least the next four games. After Conner left the game, Demercado took over the RB duties and will likely do so again with Conner out. Ingram is still dealing with a neck injury and has missed two-straight games and his status is unknown at this point for Week 6. The team did sign Jones but it looks like Demercado could be the RB1 at least in the short term. There's a very good chance Demercado is on your wire outside of deeper and dynasty leagues and could at least make for a usable fill-in at the running back spot.

Cardinals running back James Conner injured his knee in Sunday’s loss to the Bengals, playing only 12 snaps.

“I’m not quite sure yet, but it looks like [Conner could miss] a little bit of time,” Gannon told Arizona Sports on Monday. “We’re still working through that. James will be back at some point but honestly just wanted to add another back for some depth there to make sure we’re OK there for practice and for the games.”

The Cardinals added running back Tony Jones Jr. off waivers from the Saints, a sign Conner could miss time with his injury, the story pointed out. With Ingram (neck) also injured, Demercado replaced Conner and accounted for 57 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 11 touches. Demercado could again be in line for more work if Conner has to miss time.

The Chiefs listed TE Travis Kelce (ankle) as did not participate on their estimated injury report.

It's a Thursday night game against Denver. Kelce, of course, suffered what is believed to be a low ankle sprain in Week 5. While he left the game, he did come back to action, which hopefully bodes well for Kelce's chances in Week 6.

Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson is likely to miss significant time with the right shoulder injury he suffered on Sunday.

Richardson received an initial diagnosis of a Grade 3 AC joint sprain, which would mean he would miss a month or more, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Richardson is set for an MRI but all reports indicate a month would likely be a minimum amount of time. Other reports say it could be up to six weeks for Richardson. The good news is Minshew has played well this year filling in, and it appears from a fantasy standpoint the Colts offense won't take much of a hit without Richardson.
