Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 16 injury report and will start Saturday's game vs. the Texans. He was a full participant in practice all week. Reportedly dealing with a high-ankle sprain, it's safe to assume that Mahomes won't have his usual mobility against Houston. And he'd already been underwhelming in fantasy football, finishing outside the top-15 QBs in four of his last five games. Mahomes sits well outside QB1 territory in the Week 16 Rankings, but his availability is good news for the rest of Kansas City's offense.
The forecast for today’s Chiefs-Browns game calls for a 60% chance of rain with sustained winds of 15 mph and gusts up around 30 mph. That’s enough wind to impact the passing and kicking games. Throw in the likelihood of rain and we’re looking at tough conditions. We’ve bumped down our passing projections for both teams and would avoid the kickers from this game. Check out the updated Week 15 Rankings to see where all the Chiefs and Browns land.

Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) did not practice all week and is out for Monday night's game vs. the Bucs.

Worthy and Hopkins both sit in WR3 range in the Week 9 Rankings.

Making his Chiefs debut, WR DeAndre Hopkins caught 2 of 3 targets for 29 yards in Week 8. As expected, he played a limited role. Hopkins ranked third among Chiefs WRs in snaps (23) and tied for third in routes run (14).
Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins is officially active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said Saturday that Hopkins will likely have a "small menu of plays" after joining the team earlier this week. We’d try to keep Hopkins on fantasy benches this week.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler expects WR DeAndre Hopkins to have a "small menu of plays" in his Chiefs debut vs. the Raiders. Fowler notes that WRs Kadarius Toney and Mecole Hardman played 9 and 11 snaps, respectively, in their first games with the Chiefs after being acquired via in-season trade in recent years. Hopkins is a much better WR than either of those guys, so we're expecting him to play more snaps than that. But he's unlikely to play enough to make him a reliable Week 8 fantasy start. Try to keep him on the bench this week.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Friday that WR DeAndre Hopkins will “probably” play vs. the Raiders this weekend. Hopkins got in just two practices with his new team this week, so it’s safe to assume he won’t play a full slate of snaps if he does suit up on Sunday. We’d try not to use Hopkins in Week 8 fantasy lineups.
The Titans are finalizing a deal to trade WR DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Tennessee will get a fifth-round pick that could become a fourth-rounder.
Titans QB Will Levis (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Bills. He might miss multiple games with a Grade 2 sprain of the AC joint in his right shoulder. QB Mason Rudolph gets the start today but isn’t a recommended fantasy play in any format. Hopefully he can at least be a slight upgrade over Levis for WRs DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley.
Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins caught six of seven targets for 73 yards and a score in the Week 3 loss to the Packers. The targets, catches, and receiving yards all led the team. The TD was vintage Hopkins: A contested grab before fighting through his defender into the end zone.
