Who Should I Start? Tyquan Thornton or Malachi Corley

Wednesday, December 24, 3:39 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs placed wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (concussion) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Both Thornton and fellow wideout Rashee Rice (concussion) will miss the final two games of the regular season due to head injuries. The 25-year-old Thornton had some fantasy relevance earlier this season with Xavier Worthy injured and Rice out due to a suspension, but once both pass-catchers returned, he fell down the depth chart as a hard-to-trust deep threat in KC's offense. The former second-rounder will finish his first year in Kansas City with 19 catches on 37 targets for a career-high 438 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games (four starts). Worthy and Marquise Brown will have more opportunities to close out the year, but expectations must be tempered for fantasy managers with third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun set to run KC's offense.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Malachi Corley (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 14 matchup against the Tennessee Titans after suffering a concussion. The 23-year-old recorded one carry for two yards before getting injured. Cleveland has utilized Corley in a gadget role this season, as he entered the week with six carries for 77 yards and five receptions for 34 yards across eight games played with the Browns. Corley's absence could lead to a few more touches for Browns running backs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. Corley is unlikely to be sidelined long-term, but he will miss the remainder of Week 14 at a minimum.
