Chiefs | Marquise Brown draws seven targets Wed Dec 25, 05:52 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown finished with four receptions on 46 yards at the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25. He was targeted seven times.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs are acclimating Brown to the lineup over the last couple of weeks. They have wrapped up the AFC's no.1 seed, so the Chiefs may rest their starters for a half (maybe more?) in Week 18 against the Broncos. |

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy keeps the ball rolling Wed Dec 25, 05:42 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught eight of nine targets for 79 yards and a touchdown at the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25. He ran for 10 yards on two carries.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs are getting Worthy involved in many different ways, and he's working out as a flex play for Fantasy GMs. In a meaningless game against the Broncos in Week 18, the Chiefs may rest their starters for a half as they enter the postseason as the AFC's top seed. |

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce hauled in eight of 11 targets for 84 yards and a score at the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25.
| Footballguys view: It was a throwback day for Kelce, and the Chiefs passing game showed some life on Christmas against the Steelers. They are going for three championships in a row, a feat yet to be done in NFL history. Having Kelce look like vintage Kelce is going to be a big part of their championship run. |

Chiefs | Kareem Hunt does little in win Wed Dec 25, 05:26 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt ran nine times for 20 yards and a score at the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25. He was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: In Week 18 against the Broncos, the Chiefs may rest their starters. With Isiah Pacheco banged up (again), Hunt could be in for a featured role. The game in Week 18 is meaningless as the Chiefs wrapped up the top seed in the AFC. |

Chiefs | DeAndre Hopkins nearly silent in Week 17 Wed Dec 25, 05:11 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins landed half of his four targets for seven yards at the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs filled the air with footballs, but Hopkins was barely involved. The Chiefs are the no.1 seed in the AFC, and they are looking for their third ring in a row. Hopkins is looking for his first championship, but he has to be okay with being further down the pecking order than he was in his heyday. |

| Footballguys view: Mahomes was out there dealing against the Steelers. The Chiefs wrapped up the no.1 seed in the AFC with the win. Now, we'll see if Mahomes and the starters play a full game (half game?) against the Broncos in a meaningless Week 18 contest. |

Chiefs | Isiah Pacheco suffers injury Wed Dec 25, 03:41 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (ribs) suffered injured ribs during the Week 17 game and is considered questionable to return.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (ankle) practiced in full again on Tuesday, Dec. 24, and has been removed from the injury report for Week 17 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Worthy is emerging as the Chiefs' most valuable receiver. They went to the speedy rookie 11 times as a receiver and three times as a ball carrier in last Saturday's win over the Texans. Worthy delivered 7 catches, 65 yards, a touchdown as a receiver, and 10 rushing yards. The Chiefs had timely contributions from other receivers, most notably Hollywood Brown and DeAndre Hopkins. But as ESPN.com's Adam Teicher suggested, Worthy was their go-to receiver. His fantasy numbers bear that out: Over the last five games, Worthy hasn't finished lower than WR42; he has three weeks inside the top 25; he has two games -- Weeks 15 and 16 -- inside the top 20 with WR16 and WR12 finishes, respectively. |
Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes in no danger of missing Week 17 Tue Dec 24, 01:46 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) practiced in full again on Tuesday, Dec. 24, and has been removed from the injury report for Week 17 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: While he's off the injury report, Mahomes suffered a mild high-ankle sprain two weeks ago, and protecting him will be a priority again this week. As SBNation's Ron Kopp Jr. noted, in the three games before Saturday's win over the Texans, Mahomes was sacked (or hit) 34 times. But against the Texans, the Chiefs' pass protectors allowed just one sack and no other registered hits. Kopp contends that effort needs to be duplicated against a Steelers defense that ranks second in quarterback knockdown rate (12 percent). Outside linebacker T.J. Watt has 11.5 sacks and leads the NFL in both tackles-for-loss (18) and forced fumbles (6). But Watt is joined by DL Cameron Heyward on the inside and edge rushers Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig, who have combined for 18.5 sacks and five forced fumbles this year. Working under the assumption he'll get strong protection, we project Mahomes to finish as QB12 this week. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes Says His Ankle Will Be Better This Week Mon Dec 23, 02:24 PM
Patrick Mahomes said his injured ankle "should be in a better place" heading into the Kansas City Chiefs' Christmas Day game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. "We haven't done a ton as far as getting out there on the practice field," Mahomes said before Monday's practice, the most intense of the short workweek. "We've done a walk-through, actually two walk-throughs now, and I feel like I can move around and do what I need to do, and now we'll get to get to a little bit faster-paced practice and see where I'm truly at. But I thought, all in all, I came out pretty well."
| Footballguys view: He's not wrong. Six days after suffering a high ankle sprain against the Cleveland Browns, Mahomes completed 28-of-41 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Houston Texans. He also ran for 33 yards and scored the game's first touchdown on a 15-yard run -- the longest regular-season rushing touchdown of his career. He ended up leading the team in rushing until its last possession, and even though he didn't look fully himself, he consistently navigated the pocket and found open targets. By beating the Steeler this week, the Chiefs would clinch the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed, which carries a first-round postseason bye and home-field advantage for any games they would play before Super Bowl LIX. |
