Chiefs ruled out WR Kadarius Toney for Sunday’s game.

Related Players: Juju Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Justin Watson

Toney got one healthy game in San Francisco before heading back down with an injury. MVS could receive a slight boost with manufactured touches, particularly if Deebo Samuel misses action on Sunday.

Per Herbie, just walking off practice field. Didn’t see WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) during portion of open media viewing. LG Joe Thuney (ankle) here, but without helmet.

Rest of team, including WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, S Juan Thornhill (calf), out here.

Back in action, Smith-Schuster is back in the WR3/Flex consideration

Former Rams RB Darrell Henderson was claimed by the Jaguars, per me and Tom Pelissero.

Henderson could be a compliment to Etienne as a between the tackles runner with the Jags. Hasty should remain in a passing down role behind Etienne. Henderson hasn't played great this season but it could at least be partially due to the Rams offensive line. At this point, treat Henderson as more of a compliment than a starter in fantasy lineups.

Chiefs ruled out WR JuJu Smith-Schuster for Sunday night’s game in LA; also down Mecole Hardman, who was placed on IR.

Patrick Mahomes has proven that it doesn't necessarily matter who is on the field, as long as he has Travis Kelce handy. With that said, we could be in for the most usage Kadarius Toney has ever seen in his career come Sunday night.

Per Nicki, J.D. McKissic was not at Commanders practice on Thursday, which makes him questionable for Week 11.

Related Players: Antonio Gibson, Brian Robinson

Though McKissic is almost purely a third-down back, his absence in Week 10 essentially meant Antonio Gibson (40) and Brian Robinson (43) split RB snaps right down the middle. Another week of that would be just fine in fantasy terms; both options would be RB2 material ahead of a matchup against the Texans' porous run defense.

Deshaun Watson practiced with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday for the first time since Aug. 30. But with the quarterback sidelined for two more games as part of his 11-game suspension, coach Kevin Stefanski said the team's priority remains preparing quarterback Jacoby Brissett to play.

"This is the next step for [Watson]; it's good to have him back on the field," Stefanski said. "But the most important thing right now is getting ready for Buffalo and getting Jacoby ready."

Since Oct. 10, Watson has been allowed to sit in on team meetings and work out at the Browns' training facility. But until Wednesday, Watson had left the training facility when the Browns practiced, throwing and practicing on his own, the story said. The team is expected to start Watson in Week 13 at Houston.

Despite suffering a hip pointer vs. the Seahawks, Buccaneers’ RB Leonard Fournette is likely to be ready for Tampa Bay’s next game after its bye at Cleveland.

Related Players: Rachaad White, Ke'Shawn Vaughn

We'll see how the workload is split after the bye, but Rachaad White was nipping at Fournette's heels prior to the injury and ultimately made great use of his 22 carries, converting them into 105 yards (4.8 YPA). Tampa Bay has a multitude of reasons to incorporate White more into the offense for the rest of the regular season, but we'll see how the injury news plays out over the next two weeks.

The Chiefs are currently down two wide receivers with JuJu Smith-Schuster in the concussion protocol and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the medical tent.

Both receivers took hard hits after attempting to make a catch. Both are likely out for the rest of the game. Smith-Schuster has been ruled out, we'll see on MVS. JuJu had 2 catches for 33 yards while MVS had an 18-yard touchdown reception.

The Chiefs say that WR Mecole Hardman (abdomen) won't practice for the second straight day.

It would be a shame to see Hardman miss time in the midst of a breakout that many fantasy managers have been waiting years to see. If he's forced out of Week 10, we could see a bump in manufactured touches to new arrival, Kadarius Toney.
