    Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) is practicing in full for Week 1 against the Broncos.

    Rice is evidently good to go for Week 1 after a tumultuous offseason, which included a knee operation and a jail stint. The Chiefs’ No. 1 wide receiver looked sluggish in training camp while rookie WR Cyrus Allen shined, but Rice’s status as the entrenched top target earner counts for something. Rice should be viewed as a WR2 entering the season.
Sirianni: Eagles' London loss will 'stick with me'
Eagles HC Nick Sirianni owns his team's loss to the Jaguars in London, saying that it will "hurt for a while" and he feels like he "let everyone down", but he plans to learn from this and move forward.

    After the game, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Rice “tweaked” his hamstring, seemingly downplaying the severity of his injury. It’s possible Silver is speculating on how long Rice could be out given what we know about soft-tissue injuries. Rice didn’t return to the game on Sunday against the Raiders, but he could be seen working out on the sideline at various times and was also on the exercise bike. With the Chiefs now entering their bye week, it’s possible we won’t have more clarity on Rice’s potential absence until they return to prepare for Week 6 against the Chargers. We will check back in with any updates as the team provides them.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    The Chiefs aren’t formally ruling him out just yet, but Rice’s day is as good as done with this latest update. He continues to go through tests on the hamstring he injured in the first quarter of Sunday’s game and will likely be ruled out in the near future. If his day is done, Rice will finish with zero receptions on zero targets in just six offensive snaps.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    This news comes from the team’s X account. Rice exited in the first quarter of Sunday’s game and eventually made his way to the locker room after initially refusing to leave the field. CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson reported that Rice was noticeably frustrated on the sideline, which isn’t an encouraging sign as far as his return for this game is concerned.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    It’s hard to tell what may have happened here, but Rice appeared to land awkwardly on his left foot after making a catch on a play that would be overturned by a penalty. Rice appeared to be grabbing at the back of his leg and immediately made his way to the sideline. We will provide an update when we receive one.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Rice’s seven receptions were easily a new season best, though he’s now cleared 80 yards in back-to-back contests. Rice’s nine targets were no joke on a day where Patrick Mahomes was limited to 24 attempts as the Chiefs ran just 49 plays. Rice was also the intended target on Mahomes’ “interception,” which in reality was a ball Rice batted into the air. Not good, but neither was the pass. It was behind the wideout, who was laying on the ground. We doubt Mahomes holds it against him. Rice will remain a solid WR2 for Week 4 in Vegas.

    An interesting development from this one were the 10 targets filtered to running back Kenneth Walker, who gained emphasis through the air in the short areas of the field typically accounted for by Rice and tight end Travis Kelce. The Colts also utilized elevated rates of man coverage until the departure of cornerback Charvarius Ward, against which Rice has clear negative splits. He did break free for a 31-yard gain, one of two Mahomes completions to go for more than 30 yards. Rice remains a volume-driven WR2 with clear WR3 downside, in an offense now more intent on featuring the backfield. He remains a touchdown-dependent WR2 against the Dolphins in Week 3.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Rice earned only two targets in Week 1, yet still technically warrants WR2 treatment based on his theoretical role in the offense, along with his past WR1 performances. The Chiefs notably faced the Broncos’ top-tier defense last week and will get a far softer matchup against the Colts in Week 2.
  • KC Quarterback #15
    Rashee Rice (knee) is also practicing in full. Both players underwent offseason knee procedures and had slow ramp-ups during the summer. Both players were active for Week 1 and found the end zone. Mahomes did so on the ground, putting the notion that he would be hampered by the knee issue to rest. The passing attack still looked shaky in Week 1, but there are no health concerns for either player. Mahomes will be a low-end QB1 versus the Colts, and Rice will hold a spot in the WR2 ranks.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Rice saw only two targets as the Chiefs clearly had a ground-heavy game plan to ease quarterback Patrick Mahomes back into action in his first game since tearing his ACL in 2025. Furthermore, Rice was largely unable to generate separation against a stingy Denver secondary, oftentimes locked down in man coverage. Even his touchdown was uninspiring aside from a great effort to bounce off the first tackler. Rice appears to be a shaky fantasy bet for managers that invested an early-round pick into his services, particularly in the coming weeks against poor competition. Rice will be a speculative WR3 against the Colts in Week 2.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Andy Reid also echoed this sentiment earlier in the offseason. As Rapoport points out, Rice was already suspended for his involvement in a hit-and-run car crash in 2024. He violated his probation this year and spent 30 days in jail, but it doesn’t sound like the league plans to punish him any further. Rice is also recovering from offseason knee surgery and has received mixed reviews over the first two weeks of training camp. For fantasy purposes, as long as Rice can soak up check-downs, the PPR points will flow.

    Jakobi Meyers caught 2-of-3 targets for 37 yards in the Jaguars’ Week 5 win over the Eagles.

    Meyers has been held to two and three catches over his past two games. It’s probably not a coincidence that Brenton Strange leads the team with 14 catches during Meyers’ two-game slump. Meyers is still operating as the Jags’ WR2, but his role will come down to matchup nuances on a week-to-week basis. He is sliding back into the WR5 fantasy ranks ahead of his Week 6 matchup with the Texans.

    Brenton Strange caught 7-of-8 targets for 68 yards in the Jaguars’ Week 5 win over the Eagles.

    After a quiet three games to start the year, Strange has heated up over the past two weeks. He led the team with seven catches last week and did so again today in London. Strange had seven catches in his first three games combined. He can’t be expected to pace the Jags in receiving, but Strange is back on the TE1/2 border for his Week 6 date with Houston.

    Chris Rodriguez rushed two times for five yards in the Jaguars’ Week 5 win over the Eagles.

    Rodriguez was all but phased out of the rotation in this game. His most notable touch was a goal line carry which he was stuffed on and then fumbled the ball away. He was called down on the field. Even though replay clearly showed him losing the ball, there was no clear recovery and the refs didn’t bother overturning the non-fumble. Rodriguez may still be the occasional touchdown vulture, but his role has been reduced to the point where fantasy managers can safely cut ties with him on the next run of waivers.

    Kenyon Sadiq suffered a concussion in the Jets’ Week 5 game against the Browns and will not return.

    To make matters worse, Sadiq suffered the injury in the process of losing a fumble. Targeted on a 3rd-and-9 near the goal line in the third quarter, Sadiq was short of the first down and got “Peanut punched” for the giveaway. With neither side getting anything going in rainy New Jersey conditions, Sadiq had just two receptions for three yards before going down, getting out-produced by a returning Mason Taylor in the process. Now highly questionable for Week 6 against the Patriots, Sadiq will not be on the streamer radar if given the go-ahead.

    Bhayshul Tuten rushed 22 times for 72 yards in the Jaguars’ Week 5 win over the Eagles, adding two catches for 24 yards.

    The Jags’ offense struggled to execute at a basic level in this game, and Tuten may have been hurt the most by errors. Their first goal line sequence of the day started with a Chris Rodriguez near-fumble. After two incomplete passes, Liam Coen dialed up a jet sweep for Tuten that was blown up for a loss of six yards. The Jags’ next goal line sequence featured a pair of delay of game penalties followed by an incomplete pass on fourth down. Tuten got the full workhorse treatment in this game, ceding just two carries and one catch to his backups. He unfortunately could not make much of the touches. Tuten will be a high-end RB2 if this role persists into his Week 6 matchup versus the Texans.

    Dolphins OL Jonah Savaiinaea is questionable to return Week 5 against the Bengals with an ankle injury.

    Savaiinaea hurt his ankle at some point in the second quarter and was declared questionable to return. He stood on the sidelines for some time but Jarrett Kingston is in at right guard for the 22-year-old second-year lineman.

    TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) has been ruled out in Week 5 against the Raiders.

    Henderson had 38 yards on five touches before suffering the ankle injury on a sideline tackle in the second quarter. He needed help getting to the locker room and did not return to action. Henderson, who has dealt with a string of injuries over the past few months, could miss significant time, leaving Rhamondre Stevenson as the Patriots’ unquestioned workhorse back for now.

    Jalen Hurts completed 21-of-40 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles’ 19-17, Week 5 loss to the Jaguars.

    Hurts added a grand total of two yards on the ground. The Eagles even seemed afraid to use him for tush pushes, opting for a shotgun handoff on an early fourth-and-one. The bulk of Hurts’ production through the air came on a single deep shot to Darius Cooper. Hurts’ pass was actually a bit off the mark, but Cooper adjusted well and sprinted into the end zone for a 62-yard touchdown. Hurts had Dontayvion Wicks wide open for his second long score of the day late in the third quarter, but an all-out blitz forced him to throw off his back foot and he overshot the attempt. A field goal with eight seconds left on the clock still should have been enough to win the game. Philly’s kick coverage unit then got burned by Ameer Abdullah, setting up a walk-off kick from Cam Little. The Philly offense is as lifeless as they come. Even if DeVonta Smith returns for Week 6 versus the Panthers, Hurts will fail to crack the top-12 at quarterback for the first time in years.

    CBS Sports’ Melanie Collins reports A.J. Brown (ankle) is “walking without a limp.”

    Brown sustained a high ankle sprain in the season opener against Seattle and has rehabbed over the past month. Patriots OC Josh McDaniels told Collins he doesn’t anticipate any delay in Brown’s return to the lineup. The team believes Brown will be ready to go in Week 6. He’ll re-enter a Patriots offense that has found its footing in recent weeks following a rough start to the year. His return would be a nice bump for Drake Maye, one of the league’s best downfield passers.

    Cardinals declared Marvin Harrison Jr., QB Carson Beck, CB Starling Thomas, Andrew Wingard and DL Andrew Billings inactive for Week 5 against the Lions.

    Life continues to be rough for fantasy managers rostering Harrison. The soon-to-be ex-Cardinal will not participate in what should be a fantasy-friendly game against the porous Lions defense. Bummer. Still no definitive word on where he will end up next week. Trey McBride, Michael Wilson and Kendrick Bourne benefit from his absence. The Cardinals will be without Wingard, one of two starting safeties, but will have DT Walter Nolen (calf) available to them.
