        Patrick Mahomes Might Play on Saturday

        Patrick Mahomes Might Play on Saturday

        Chiefs HC Andy Reid said QB Patrick Mahomes will try to practice on Tuesday. "We'll see how Pat does out there," Reid said this morning. "He's going to go through some stuff, and we'll see how it works out for him. And if he can't work, then Carson will take those reps that Pat doesn't. We have full confidence in Carson. If he has to step in and play, then I think everybody, coaches and players, have full confidence that he can go in and do a nice job." Said Mahomes: "If I feel like I can play and go out there and win a football game, I will." We’ll see how the week progresses, but there’s at least a chance that Mahomes suits up vs. Houston on Saturday.

        Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has been diagnosed with a "mild" right high-ankle sprain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He's still considered week-to-week," Rapoport adds.

        Commanders QB Carson Wentz (finger) has been activated from IR. We'll see about Washington's plan at QB, but we expect QB Taylor Heinicke to at least start this weekend's game vs. the Giants. He's been up and down over the past 7 games but has led the Commanders to 5 wins. Wentz went 2-4 over the first 6 games of the season. The biggest fantasy impact here is with WR Terry McLaurin, who's been much more productive with Heinicke.

        Update: NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Wentz is returning as Heinicke's backup.
