This is unfortunate but unsurprising. Pierce is currently on the wrong side of questionable, three days after being forced from play after suffering a concussion. Fantasy managers should expect Pierce to miss Week 16 though he technically still has time to clear the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Brown has been back for two games since is shoulder injury, and he’s had eerily similar production in both with a 5-45-0 line against the Texans in the previous contest. The Chiefs want to keep getting the 27-year-old acclimated, so it’s possible he could see a similar amount of targets despite Week 18 against the Broncos having no meaning for Kansas City.

Watson was involved early but not often in this one. The 28-year-old beat the Steelers’ secondary deep for a 49-yard connection, and he hauled in an 11-yard touchdown from Patrick Mahomes not long after. That was it for Watson, but damage done for those who had him on their fantasy roster for some reason. He could be in for a decent amount of snaps in Week 18 against the Broncos.

Worthy leaked out of the backfield for the first touchdown of the game. The 21-year-old rookie wasn’t able to pick up many big plays with a long of just 21, but the quality and quantity can’t disappoint fantasy players too much. We’ll see if Worthy plays much in a meaningless Week 18 game against the Broncos.

The Chiefs rushed for just 69 yards in this contest with Isiah Pacheco also ineffective with just 18 yards on six carries before leaving with a ribs injury. Hunt was able to salvage the game with a short-yardage score. With the Chiefs clinching homefield advantage, there’s a good chance neither Hunt nor Pacheco get many carries in Week 18 against the Broncos.
