DeAndre Hopkins

KC Wide Receiver #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

DeAndre Hopkins caught 2-of-4 targets for seven yards in the Chiefs’ Week 17 win over the Steelers.

Even on a day where Patrick Mahomes was able to throw for 320 yards and three scores, Hopkins was a non-factor in the Kansas City passing attack. It’s hard to watch for those who remember him being one of — if not the — best receivers in the world. He and the Chiefs have clinched homefield advantage, however, so it’s possible Hopkins will get a ring even while being the fifth option at best in this passing attack.
Hollywood Brown

KC Wide Receiver #5

Hollywood Brown caught 4-of-7 targets for 49 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 17 win over the Steelers.

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.
Justin Watson

KC Wide Receiver #84

Justin Watson caught 2-of-2 targets for 60 yards with a touchdown in the Chiefs’ Week 17 win over the Steelers.

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.
Xavier Worthy

KC Wide Receiver #1

Xavier Worthy caught 8-of-9 targets for 79 yards with a touchdown in the Chiefs’ Week 17 win over the Steelers.

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.
Kareem Hunt

KC Running Back #29

Kareem Hunt rushed nine times for 20 yards with a touchdown in the Chiefs’ Week 17 win over the Steelers.

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.
Travis Kelce

KC Tight End #87

Travis Kelce caught 8-of-11 targets for 84 yards with a touchdown in the Chiefs’ Week 17 win over the Steelers.

Maybe not “vintage” Kelce, but pretty good. The 35-year-old celebrated a couple milestones in the win; catching his 1,000th pass and also passing Tony Gonzalez for the most touchdowns in Chiefs’ history with 77. The future Hall of Famer had a not-so-nice 69 yards combined in the previous three games, so this was encouraging to see. Unfortunately with Kansas City clinching homefield advantage, fantasy managers may not see much of Kelce in a meaningless Week 18 bout against the Broncos.
Patrick Mahomes

KC Quarterback #15

Patrick Mahomes completed 29-of-38 passes for 320 yards with three touchdowns in the Chiefs’ 29-10, Week 17 win over the Steelers.

Mahomes was given all day to throw even against the Steelers’ defense, and he took advantage of it. The ankle did not appear to be bothering him at all, and he found Travis Kelce, Justin Watson and Xavier Worthy for scores in the blowout win on Christmas. This was also the first time he hadn’t thrown an interception since the overtime win over the Buccaneers. The Chiefs have clinched homefield advantage in the AFC with the win, and it’ll likely be a very short day for Mahomes in Week 18 against the Broncos.
Isiah Pacheco

KC Running Back #10

Isiah Pacheco is questionable to return in Week 17 against the Chiefs with a rib injury.

Pacheco was hit hard in the fourth quarter on a run and may not be be able to return. If his day is done, he finishes with six carries for 18 yards and he didn’t pick up a reception. Kareem Hunt will almost assuredly get the majority of the carries for the rest of the contest.
Chris Jones

KC Defensive Lineman #95

Chiefs declared DT Chris Jones, DE Joshua Uche, OL C.J. Hanson, OL D.J. Humphries, T Ethan Driskell and DE Malik Herring inactive for Week 17 against the Steelers.

The Chiefs were hopeful that Jones may be able to go, but the calf injury and the short layoff made it impossible for the 30-year-old to go. There’s a good chance he’ll be able to play if Week 18 against the Broncos game if that contest has any significance. The Chiefs will miss Humphries for a third straight game, but Jawaan Taylor (knee) is active for the Christmas Day contest.
Chris Jones

KC Defensive Lineman #95

Chiefs DT Chris Jones (calf) is questionable for Week 17 against the Steelers.

Jones got in a limited session on Tuesday, which was enough to get him on to the questionable line. His absence would be a big deal as he’s clearly Kansas City’s most-renowned pass rusher and draws a lot of attention away from his fellow rushers. Pittsburgh’s offense would greatly benefit if Jones sits this week.
