Patrick Mahomes QB KC

Patrick Mahomes A Full Participant Tuesday

Patrick Mahomes A Full Participant Tuesday

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice. It was likely a light workout just two days removed from the win over the Browns, but this obviously bodes well for Mahomes' chances of playing against the Texans on Saturday. The line on that game has moved from Texans - 2 to Chiefs -3 over the last 12 hours. We'll update Mahomes' status again tomorrow. If he does suit up vs. Houston, he'll be a shaky QB1 play at less than 100% against a quality defense.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said QB Patrick Mahomes will try to practice on Tuesday. "We'll see how Pat does out there," Reid said this morning. "He's going to go through some stuff, and we'll see how it works out for him. And if he can't work, then Carson will take those reps that Pat doesn't. We have full confidence in Carson. If he has to step in and play, then I think everybody, coaches and players, have full confidence that he can go in and do a nice job." Said Mahomes: "If I feel like I can play and go out there and win a football game, I will." We’ll see how the week progresses, but there’s at least a chance that Mahomes suits up vs. Houston on Saturday.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has been diagnosed with a "mild" right high-ankle sprain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He's still considered week-to-week," Rapoport adds.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He's officially questionable to return and has been replaced by QB Carson Wentz. With the Chiefs nursing a 14-point lead, we don't expect to see Mahomes back out there. We'll look for further updates on the ankle injury.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Rams HC Sean McVay has ruled out RB Kyren Williams, WR Cooper Kupp, and DT Aaron Donald for Week 18's contest vs. the 49ers. Once the decision was made that backup QB Carson Wentz would be the Rams' starter on Sunday, it was reasonable to expect we'd see more of these big-name players sit out. Los Angeles gains nothing from playing all their starters in a game that doesn't alter their playoff hopes. This news leaves rookie WR Puka Nacua as the active playmaker of note for season-long managers who play into Week 18 -- although we are not expecting Nacua to play a full slate of snaps. Veteran Demarcus Robinson sits highest among Rams in the Week 18 WR Rankings.
