Tyreek Hill is Held in Check

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was held in check for his lowest amount of yards this season by the Chargers in Week 15. Hill caught four of his seven targets for 46 yards and was unable to find the end zone during the 29-28 loss. Hill could've had a 43-yard touchdown, but dropped […]

Travis Kelce Plays Well in Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce ended his touchdown streak at three games after failing to find the end zone in the loss to the Chargers on Thursday. Kelce caught seven of his nine targets for 61 yards in the 29-28 loss. It was not a bad day for Kelce, but he finished with […]

Damien Williams Scores Two Touchdowns on Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams was the lead back for Thursday's game versus the Chargers because Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) was unable to play. Williams rushed 10 times for 49 yards and two touchdowns with six receptions for 74 yards through the air. Williams has scored three touchdowns in the last two games, […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Two TDs in Defeat

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes pushed his multiple touchdown streak to nine games during Thursday's loss to the Chargers. Mahomes finished 24-for-34 with 243 passing yards and two touchdowns and zero interceptions. It was a fairly solid game for Mahomes, but he's clearly missing the production from Sammy Watkins and Kareem Hunt. The Chiefs […]

Spencer Ware Officially Inactive

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) is officially inactive for Thursday night against the Chargers after initially being ruled doubtful to play. Ware just couldn't get clearance on a short week after being injured in Week 14. In his absence, Damien Williams should be KC's lead back, with rookie Darrel Williams and […]

Travis Kelce is Elite TE1 for Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has caught four touchdowns over the last three games. He should continue to succeed versus the Chargers in Week 15. Kelce was held in check versus the Chargers in Week 1. They kept Kelce to just one catch for six yards, but that isn't going to happen again. […]

Chris Conley Should Rebound Versus Chargers

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley has seen his fantasy value increase over the last month due to Sammy Watkins (foot) being sidelined. Sadly, Conley only caught two passes for 13 yards last week, but he should rebound against the Chargers on Thursday. The Chiefs basically have no running game with Spencer Ware (hamstring, […]

Tyreek Hill is A Safe WR1 for Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (heel, wrist) will play in Thursday's game against the Chargers, according to Adam Schefter. Hill finished with eight receptions for 139 yards in the victory over the Ravens last week. Hill has WR1 value despite playing banged up and on a short week. The Chiefs don't have much […]

Damien Williams Has Fantasy Value in Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams is expected to be the lead back for Thursday's game against the Chargers. Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) is doubtful for this contest and most likely is going to sit this one out. The Chiefs will likely use a committee approach to fill the void, but Williams is the […]

Spencer Ware Unlikely to Play on Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) was listed as doubtful on Wednesday and his chances of suiting up for Thursday's game versus the Chargers is unlikely. Ware has played well as the lead back and the Chiefs don't want to risk an injury heading into playoff time. Assuming Ware sits, the Chiefs […]

Patrick Mahomes Looks to Continue Touchdown Streak

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown multiple touchdowns in eight straight games. Both Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins are a little banged up, but Mahomes will still obviously have QB1 value. Mahomes has a matchup against the Chargers defense that has allowed the fifth fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, according to […]

Tyreek Hill Will Play Against Chargers

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (heel, wrist), who is questionable for Thursday night against the Chargers, will play, according to a source.

Tyreek Hill Questionable For Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (heel, wrist) is listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Chargers on Thursday night. Hill was limited the last two days, so he's on track to return in a big divisional game against the Bolts. With running back Spencer Ware (hamstring, shoulder) doubtful to play, expect the […]

Spencer Ware Doubtful To Face Chargers

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring, shoulder) is doubtful to play on Thursday night against the Chargers. In perhaps one of the biggest games of the year for both teams, they could both be down to their third-string running backs. Damien Williams is in line to see the majority of touches in what […]

Kelvin Benjamin Unlikely To Play Much Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin, who had his first practice with the team last Friday, is unlikely to play extended snaps if he makes his team debut on Thursday against the Chargers.

Spencer Ware Won't Practice Tuesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring, shoulder) will not practice for the second straight day on Tuesday.

His fantasy owners would be much more comfortable if […]

Tyreek Hill Returning To Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (heel, wrist) will return to practice on Tuesday after sitting out on Monday.
