Patrick Mahomes Viewed as Day-to-Day

Monday, November 9, 8:38 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (elbow) is viewed as day-to-day after a scary-looking hit to his throwing arm had fantasy managers briefly holding their collective breath during the team's Week 9 win over the Jets. Mahomes left the field in obvious discomfort and was seen testing his elbow on the sideline, but ultimately completed the game, finishing the day with 242 passing yards and two touchdowns. While he does not appear to be in jeopardy of missing the Chiefs' Week 10 matchup with the Falcons, Mahomes' status will need to be monitored. If he is able to play without limitation, the current fantasy QB14 makes for a strong start against an Atlanta defense that allowed Joe Burrow to finish as the QB3 in Week 9 and recently traded away Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates.

Tanner McKee News

Tanner McKee Expected to be Active as Backup Quarterback in Week 9

Sunday, November 8, 5:02 AM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee (ribs) is expected to be active as the backup for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the New York Giants, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. McKee, who was demoted to the backup role earlier this week, is officially listed as questionable after suffering a cracked rib during the opening drive of last week's game against the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old's demotion to No. 2 on the depth chart is not a result of his injury, but rather a direct product of poor play. He has two touchdowns and three turnovers this season, including all three turnovers in his last two starts. McKee was thrust into action back in Week 6 with Jalen Hurts out for the year due to blood clots. McKee went 0-3 in his time as the starter, so the Eagles will turn to Milton in a desperate attempt to save their season. The 26-year-old is known for his strong arm and mobility, but accuracy has been an issue for him in the past.
