Tyquan Thornton to Have Surgery, Facing 12-to-16-Week Recovery

Monday, October 5, 12:44 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (ankle) is expected to miss 12 to 16 weeks after undergoing extensive testing Monday. Ian Rapoport reported that Thornton will have surgery within the next week for the dislocated left ankle he suffered during Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. There is a real chance he could return late in the season or during the playoffs, though that will depend on how his recovery progresses. Thornton was having his best game of the year before the injury, catching five of eight targets for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He has 11 receptions for 219 yards and two scores through four games. The timetable takes Thornton out of the fantasy picture for the foreseeable future, while Kansas City will have to replace one of its top deep threats as he begins a lengthy recovery.

Keon Coleman Worth Monitoring as Potential Waiver Addition

Monday, November 9, 5:27 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (shoulder) is set to play Monday night against Minnesota after being limited in practice during the week. Coleman caught one pass for four yards against Baltimore in Week 8, despite playing 63 snaps. He has 20 catches for 287 yards and three touchdowns in seven games, but hasn't seen enough consistent targets to become a reliable fantasy option. Joshua Palmer (hamstring) is out Monday, which could open up more opportunities for Coleman. He'll still have to compete for targets with DJ Moore, who drew seven looks against Baltimore. Coleman is available in most fantasy leagues and is worth considering as a bench stash, especially if he sees more involvement against Minnesota. His performance on Monday should help managers decide whether to put in a claim this week.
