Chiefs WR Rashee Rice’s six-game suspension is now over and he is eligible to play Sunday vs. the Raiders.

The Chiefs and Mahomes get back another weapon for their offense which looks to be clicking, at least at times this season, especially this week when knocking off the Lions on Sunday night. When we last saw Rice to start 2024, he collected 24 catches on 29 targets in three games, piling up 288 yards and two touchdowns. It may take a little time to get Rice up to speed, but Rice was with the team in training camp before his suspension started which should only help. The Chiefs host the Raiders in Week 7 in an early Sunday game.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy has no injury designation for Sunday night’s game vs. the Lions and is good to go.

Worthy has made an immediate impact on the Chiefs offense, combing for 17 targets in his first two games back. In a nice matchup against the Lions in Week 6, consider him a fringe WR1/2.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy turned his ankle and popped up on the injury report, Ian Rapoport reported.

Worthy is also dealing with his shoulder injury, but returned last week with a 5-83-0 line. Rapoport said the ankle injury isn't serious and it won't keep him from playing Monday night against the Jags. Owners can keep him in lineups, but may still want to make sure when the inactives come out ahead of Monday night's game.

Jets QB Justin Fields has been cleared from the concussion protocol and will start Monday against the Dolphins, head coach Aaron Glenn said Saturday.

Fields missed the Jets’ Week 3 loss against the Buccaneers after suffering the concussion in Week 2 against the Bills. Fields was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, making him ready to go against the Dolphins with one more day of practice with the game being on Monday. It’s a good matchup for Fields as Miami has struggled quite a bit on defense through three games. Fields can be viewed as a QB2 this week.

Since his massive 16-target performance after Worthy went down in Week 1, Brown has been completely forgettable in his two chances to earn more work since. Push Worthy up into the WR3 range now that he's been completely cleared.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet, who is listed as questionable on the injury report, is expected to play tonight against the Cardinals. Charbonnet has been dealing with a foot injury, but was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

The Seahawks' backfield has been all over the place through the first three games, from a seemingly 50/50 split to Walker absolutely blowing Charbonnet out of the water in efficiency to the latter missing last week's game. We expect Walker to maintain the lead in touches but his teammate's return puts him closer to RB3 status than locked-in RB2 land. Charbonnet is a lower-end RB3/4 though he does have touchdown upside.

Justin Fields will practice today, but he's still in concussion protocol.

HC Aaron Glenn later reiterated that Fields would start if cleared before Monday, so it seems like there's a good chance he suits up for Week 4. If he's cleared before we have to set lineups on Sunday morning, we can inch him up to a low-end QB1 in what should be a pretty nice matchup.

Chiefs listed WR Xavier Worthy as a full participant in today’s practice, putting him on track to play Sunday against Baltimore.

Since his massive 16-target performance after Worthy went down in Week 1, Brown has been completely forgettable in his two chances to earn more work since. If Worthy is looking close to 100% this early in the week, we should definitely consider him further up our rankings than if he weren't a full participant until Friday. Push him up into the WR2/3 range if he is completely cleared ahead of the weekend.

Ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS), the Chiefs are optimistic Xavier Worthy will be able to play a limited role for the offense while wearing a small harness. Patrick Mahomes and HC Andy Reid say they are confident the Chiefs can continue to be successful on deep passes with Tyquan Thornton running routes alongside Worthy. By Week 7, Mahomes' dropbacks could feature him having a combination of quality options -- such as Travis Kelce, Thornton, Worthy, Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown.

Slowly the Chiefs offense is starting to get healthy and back to what everyone envisioned at the start of the season. Worthy has a chance to play in Week 4 but the team is already saying he'll be limited, so fantasy owners will want to monitor just how much Worthy will play or maybe in what situations.

The Chiefs have ruled out WR Xavier Worthy for Week 3 against the Giants.

Worthy is making progress, as he was limited all week in practice and was initially listed as questionable. The Chiefs may just be being cautious with Worthy this early in the season. But this could lead one to believe Worthy could be back in Week 4.
