Mike Davis (RB, CHI) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While all the Bears talk of the offseason was about rookie David Montgomery, it was former Seahawks running back Mike Davis who saw the most usage in Chicago's season-opening loss to the Green Bay Packers. Davis carried the ball five times for […]

Patrick Mahomes Dealing With Sprained Ankle

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle in the Week 1 blowout win over the Jaguars, according to head coach Andy Reid. Mahomes looked to be limping at one point in the game, but he stayed in the game, so it doesn't seem like this is a significant injury. The electric […]

Harrison Butker Notches Four Field Goals

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had himself an excellent game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. Butker is already known as one of the better kicker in the league, but he proved that point on Sunday. He knocked down all four of his field goal attempts in this contest. Butker scored 16 points […]

Travis Kelce Only Hauls in Three Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce could've had a big day in fantasy, but failed to haul in over half his targets. Kelce finished with three receptions on eight targets for 88 yards in the 40-26 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It wasn't all Kelce's fault, some of the passes were thrown poorly by […]

Tyreek Hill Goes for 16 Yards Before Exiting

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) caught both his targets for 16 yards before exiting the game due to a collarbone issue. The Chiefs still ended up winning 40-26 over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hill was taken to the hospital, but received good news. He won't need surgery, so he's only going to miss […]

Sammy Watkins Explodes for Three Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had one of the biggest games in Chiefs' history on Sunday. Watkins caught nine receptions for 198 yards and three touchdowns in the 40-26 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the fifth biggest receiving performance in team history. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is going to be sidelined for […]

LeSean McCoy Rushes for 81 Yards Against Jags

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy had a solid game on the ground, but it didn't develop into many fantasy points. McCoy rushed 10 times for 81 yards and he did not score in the 40-26 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lead back Damien Williams only rushed for 26 yards on 13 attempts. It […]

Tyreek Hill Expected To Miss A Few Weeks

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder), who is in the hospital after leaving the Week 1 game against the Jaguars, is expected to miss a few weeks with his injury, according to a source. The good news is that Hill won't require surgery, but his fantasy owners will obviously be hurt by the […]

Damien Williams Scores TD in Victory

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams was not strong in the run game, but salvaged his fantasy day in the passing game. Williams rushed 13 times for 26 yards and a touchdown. He caught six passes for 39 yards and finished second on the team in total receptions. LeSean McCoy out-rushed him, but Williams […]

Patrick Mahomes Tosses Three Touchdowns Against Jags

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes looks like he hasn't missed a beat since last season. He completed 25-of-33 passes for 378 yards and three touchdowns in the 40-26 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. Mahomes threw for 313 yards and two touchdowns before halftime. He didn't do as much in the second […]

Tyreek Hill's Clavicle Being Examined

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (clavicle) is undergoing tests on his collarbone after leaving the Week 1 game against the Jaguars, according to a source. Fantasy owners will be holding their breath until Hill's status is known. A broken clavicle could cost him as much as six to eight weeks. Before departing, Hill […]

Tyreek Hill Injures Shoulder

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) left the game in Week 1 against the Jaguars and is questionable to return. Hill had two catches for 16 yards on two targets before exiting, so his fantasy owners are hoping he can return. Sammy Watkins has been quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite target, catches all four […]

LeSean McCoy To See 15-20 Snaps

The plan is for Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy to see around 15 to 20 snaps in his team debut against the Jaguars in Week 1 on Sunday. Shady should operate as the No. 2 behind Damien Williams this year, but it looks like he'll be eased into the game plan in the […]

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson went from late-round steal to the waiver wire in a matter of a week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins is once again predicted to have a solid fantasy season, but injuries are going to dictate that.
