Chiefs TE Travis Kelce is expected to be back with the Chiefs, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. It has been recently reported that Kelce may talk with other teams, but instead opted to stick with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid in Kansas City. This likely remains the best case scenario for Kelce's fantasy potential in 2026 if the Chiefs' offense can get back to being a top producer this season. Kelce currently sits 11th in our redraft PPR TE rankings.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, "All signs are pointing towards Eric Bieniemy returning to the Chiefs as their offensive coordinator." Matt Nagy served as OC in 2025 and the previous two years, his second stint with the team. His contract runs out at the end of this NFL season, and K.C.'s reportedly expecting Nagy to land a head-coaching gig somewhere in this cycle. Bieniemy actually took over as Chiefs OC the last time Nagy left (for the Chicago head job in 2018) and stayed in that role through 2022.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes underwent successful surgery on his left knee on Monday, the team announced. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Mahomes needed a torn ACL and LCL repaired. "While that can complicate recovery, it doesn’t necessary extend his rehab longer than 9 months or so," Rapoport adds. We'll keep you updated on Mahomes' progress throughout the offseason, but a nine-month recovery would take him into mid-September. He'll be right up against it to be ready for the 2026 season opener.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes tore his left ACL in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Chargers. That will obviously end his season. We'll see about the return timeline once doctors assess and address the full damage.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes injured his left knee in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. The knee hyperextended as he was scrambling away from pressure. Mahomes was in obvious pain but was able to limp off over his own power. We'll update Mahomes' status when we know more. QB Gardner Minshew is in for the Chiefs.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes suffered through one of the worst games of his NFL career in Sunday’s loss to Houston. He completed just 14 of 33 passes for 160 yards, 0 TDs, and 3 INTs. Mahomes posted the worst QB rating (19.8) and EPA per dropback (-0.54) of his career.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes entered Week 9 with 29+ fantasy points in five straight. From Week 7 of 2024 to Week 8 of 2025, he accounted for at least one TD in every game. But both streaks ended Sunday against Buffalo, with Mahomes throwing for 250 scoreless yards and 1 INT. He added a brutal 44.1% completion rate, plus only 5 rushing yards.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice went 7-32-2 with 10 targets in his first game back from suspension. The third-year player played in his first game since September of 2024 after a torn LCL caused him to miss most of the 2024 season. He appears to have stepped right into the top WR role for the Chiefs once again.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught 6 of 8 targets for 42 yards in Monday's upset loss to the Jaguars. He entered the night questionable with a shoulder/ankle injury and briefly left this game in the third quarter.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy returned from his shoulder injury with a bang. He ended the game with a team-leading eight targets. His final stat line of 5-83 was a solid fantasy day, despite not finding the end zone. He also had two runs for 38 yards including a 35-yard scamper. He did all this while playing limited snaps. Worthy’s 43 snaps ranked well below Juju Smith-Schuster who led the Chiefs’ WRs with 57 snaps. But Worthy’s presence seemed to ignite a Chiefs’ passing game that was dormant. QB Patrick Mahomes threw for 270 yards and 4 TDsin the game.

The Chiefs have downgraded WR Xavier Worthy to out for Sunday night's game against the Giants, and he is not traveling with the team, according to multiple reports. Kansas City initially listed Worthy as questionable after a limited practice participation all week. But the team has clearly deemed the wideout not yet ready to play.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes heads into Monday night's games as the QB7 in Week 2 fantasy scoring. Fantasy managers can thank his rushing production for the second week in a row. Mahomes threw for just 187 yards, with 1 TD and 1 INT, on 16-of-29 passing in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Even those numbers got a large boost from a 49-yard TD connection with WR Tyquan Thornton with 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Mahomes racked up 66 yards and a TD on the ground, though, with all seven of his rushes coming via scramble. His TD came from 13 yards out in the second quarter and followed a 6-57-1 rushing line from the opening loss to the Chargers.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes turned in a solid fantasy outing in the Week 1 loss to the Chargers, throwing for 258 yards and a score and running for 57 yards and another TD. But it was a worrisome outing for his fantasy value going forward. The Chiefs' passing game looked a lot like it did last year: Every yard looked hard. Mahomes averaged just 6.6 yards per attempt -- and that was with a well-designed 37-yard TD to TE Travis Kelce and a blown coverage by the Chargers that left WR Marquise Brown wide open for a 49-yard reception. Outside of those two plays, Mahomes averaged 4.6 yards per attempt with just one other completion of more than 16 yards.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is accepting a six-game suspension and will serve it at the start of this season.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown sustained an ankle injury in Tuesday's practice, HC Andy Reid said. No word yet on the severity or a timeline for Brown's return.

Update: Brown "avoided anything serious and is expected to be back on the field as early as tomorrow," according to insider Jordan Schultz.
