Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Long touchdown versus Ravens
Rotowire 9 HRS AGO
Hardman caught four of six targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 34-20 win over the Ravens.
Hardman's performance was highlighted by his 49-yard score prior to halftime. On that play, his sensational speed was on full display, giving quarterback Patrick Mahomes a free target downfield following a well-executed double-move. Through three games, Hardman has elevated his numbers each week, and although he's still lacking consistency outside of devastating deep shots like Monday's score, the second-year pro is nonetheless trending in the right direction ahead of Week 4's game versus the Patriots.
Chiefs' Sammy Watkins: Rebounds well versus Ravens
Rotowire 9 HRS AGO
Watkins caught seven of eight targets for 62 yards in Monday night's 34-20 win over the Ravens.
Watkins regularly helped Kansas City move the sticks, leading the team in both receptions and targets in his return from the concussion protocol. The wideout also came close to his second touchdown of the season, but was pulled down at the two-yard line following a fourth-quarter catch. After just one grab in an injury-shortened Week 2 outing, Watkins bounced back well with his performance Monday, giving him decent momentum ahead of Week 4's game versus the Patriots.
Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Keeps scoring streak going
Rotowire 9 HRS AGO
Hill caught five of six targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 34-20 win over the Ravens. He also rushed twice for 25 yards.
Hill started the game by taking an end-around 22 yards on Kansas City's first offensive snap. The speedster subsequently made a catch of 33 yards, setting up his team's opening score, then got in the end zone himself with a 20-yard, over-the-shoulder reception in the second quarter. In doing so, Hill continued his touchdown streak, having scored in each of the first three weeks this season, and also topped 100 total yards for the second straight game. On the back of form like that, Hill should be anxious to keep his momentum going in Week 4 versus the Patriots.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Leads Chiefs through air
Rotowire 9 HRS AGO
Kelce caught six of seven targets for 87 yards in Monday night's 34-20 win over the Ravens.
Kelce led the Chiefs in receiving yards while going for a season-long gain of 29 yards during Monday's contest. Although he couldn't continue his touchdown streak to start the season, instead seeing teammates Anthony Sherman and Eric Fisher vulture close-range scores through the air, Kelce still caught six passes for the third straight game and topped 85 yards for the second in a row. Up next for the highly touted tight end is a matchup against the Patriots in Week 4.
Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Good all-purpose performance
Rotowire 10 HRS AGO
Edwards-Helaire rushed 20 times for 64 yards and caught five of six targets for 70 yards in Monday night's 34-20 win over the Ravens.
Edwards-Helaire's dynamic skill set was once again on display in another great offensive performance from the Chiefs. Although he averaged just 3.2 yards per carry, the rookie flashed his ability to make defenders miss through power and quickness, and he reached 20 carries for the second time in three games. More impressively, however, Edwards-Helaire displayed his excellent hands, setting a new high mark in receiving yards for his young career. Just three games into life as a pro, Edwards-Helaire has already established himself as a uniquely talented tailback who's perfectly suited for his role in Kansas City's scheme, keeping his stock high ahead of a clash with the Patriots in Week 4.
Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Brilliant in big win
Rotowire 10 HRS AGO
Mahomes completed 31 of 42 passes for 385 yards and four touchdowns in Monday night's 34-20 win over the Ravens. He also rushed four times for 26 yards and another score.
Mahomes brought out his bag of tricks, finding the end zone in a variety of ways. The quarterback started by scampering in from three yards on the ground, then threw an underhand shovel pass to fullback Anthony Sherman for his second score. For his next act, Mahomes connected with speedy wideouts Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman on superb touchdown tosses prior to halftime, showing his signature arm strength and touch. To cap things off, the reigning Super Bowl MVP found his starting left tackle, Eric Fisher, of all people, for a two-yard exclamation point on the evening. Through three games, Mahomes now sports nine passing touchdowns versus zero interceptions, which along with Monday's win puts him in great standing ahead of another AFC showdown versus the Patriots in Week 4.
Chiefs' Chris Jones: Dealing with groin injury
Rotowire 10 HRS AGO
Jones suffered a groin injury near the end of Monday night's game against the Ravens, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
The severity of the injury is unclear at this time. Jones will likely be evaluated further in the coming days to determine his availability for Sunday's matchup with New England.

Press conference. Look at the medallion Jackson is wearing. It looks like a hubcap. Wonder how many hundred thousands that set him back? Might have done a lot more donating that money toward diversity and educational programs (other than BLM) than kneeling and wearing t-shirts, no? I’m sure Lamar likely has charities he works directly with and donates to, but when players show up post game press conferences with medallions bigger than Flav-o-flav clocks, you sometimes have to wonder where their priorities are. GO DODGERS!!! |

GO DODGERS!!! I like expensive watches. Not flashy ones. But expensive. These guys who wear bicycle chains for necklaces & or hubcaps for medallions confuse me though. It's a very ostentatious display of wealth. One might even say tasteless & stupid too. Didn't Tupac get shot something like five times over a purported robbery? Think so. Whether it was really a robbery or not is beside the point. Tupac gave them that smokescreen by wearing the down payment to a house. |

I have two gold chains that I wear 24 / 7, but neither is more than 1/8” in width. I have interchangeable team logos that I wear on the longer one depending on the sport season. Obviously hanging the LA right now, but I also have ones for the Phins, NY Rangers and UNC Tarheels. Again, all are very small and unpretentious. I never understood the idea of those huge, tacky and multiple chains. First off and like you said, you’re just setting yourself up for an assault and theft and secondly, I don’t think my old neck and back could support the weight of some of those atrocities! GO DODGERS!!! |

Chiefs look unstoppable at the moment. I still think Chris Jones was the Super Bowl MVP guy is a beast.
Fitzpatrick looked fantastic last Thursday. Thing is he is great then bad. Wonder when and if Tua will see some action. Burrow looks great, Herbert looks good, Love is not suiting up.
My 49ers are the walking wounded but nonetheless smashed the Jets and Giants with a lot of backups. Jimmy G needs to pick it up or the team has to move away from his money got the winless Eggles this week.

I think Fitz is going to have to lose several in a row before we see Tua and with their schedule, that might be sooner than later. I still think they should have tanked another year and waited on Lawrence. I just don’t see Tua holding up to the rigors of the NFL, especially with every team and player knowing his weaknesses before he even takes his first snap. Lawrence had the potential to be the next Marino. Now it looks like he might be the next Elway. Still following the game (especially my Phins) but have yet to watch a single minute of it on TV this year (other than the clips they might show on PTI - really like that show - it’s at its best when Kornheiser and Wilbon are going at it!). GO DODGERS!!! |

GO DODGERS!!! I've heard them say that Tua is like Steve Young. The thing about that is that Young was in a timing offense and had to get rid of the ball. If Tua needs to hold onto the ball and gets hit I don't think he'll last. Young was such a drama queen. Every time he would get hit or tackled he would make it seem like he was dying on the field, something like the soccer players do on a foul LOL. Lawrence is another beast. Trouble is I'm sure there are going to be more than a handful of teams tanking for him this season. A guy to keep an eye on is Slovis from USC guy is a player. JT Daniels the incumbent had to transfer to Georgia because of him. Slovis is similar to Burrow, very, very accurate. Love PTI when it's both Kornheiser and Wilbon. They bring in Frank Isola on occasion or some other and it sucks. |

Chiefs' Chris Jones: Questionable to face Pats
Rotowire 15 HRS AGO
Jones (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Jones put together a trio of limited practice sessions while dealing with a groin issue, an injury he picked up during Monday's win over the Ravens. In the event that Jones is held to a snap count Sunday, or even forced to miss time, Tershawn Wharton and Mike Pennel would stand to handle increased defensive snaps.
Chiefs' Alex Okafor: Upgraded in practice
Rotowire OCT 1, 2020
Okafor (hamstring) was a full participant for Thursday's practice session.
The veteran defensive end is making steady progress in his recovery, as he just returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since straining his hamstring in the season opener against Houston. Already back to full participation after being limited Wednesday, Okafor is trending towards making his second appearance of the year in what will be a 2018-2019 AFC Championship game rematch. He registered half a sack in the Week 1 win over the Texans, but Sunday, he will be taking on a New England offensive line that is surrendering just 1.7 sacks per game (tied for eighth best in the NFL).

Chiefs' Andrew Wylie: Back in action
Rotowire SEP 30, 2020
Wylie (illness) returned to practice without limitations Wednesday.
Wylie apparently missed Monday's win over the Ravens due to appendicitis, but it appears he's been cleared to return. The 26-year-old is expected to start at right guard Sunday versus the Patriots barring a setback.
Chiefs' Darius Harris: Elevates to 53-man roster
Rotowire SEP 30, 2020
Harris was promoted to the 53-man roster from the practice squad by the Chiefs on Wednesday.
Harris was vying for a roster spot during training camp, however, he failed to make the opening week roster. The 24-year-old has never suited up in regular-season NFL action, and he'll look to add depth at the linebacker position for Week 4 if he suits up.

Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Week 4 game postponed
Rotowire 3 HRS AGO
Edwards-Helaire and the Chiefs will not play their scheduled matchup Sunday against the Patriots after players from both teams tested positive for COVID-19. The NFL hopes to reschedule the game for Monday or Tuesday.
The league's initial plan appears to be to merely delay the game by a day or two, in which case it would still count as part of Week 4. That was the initial plan regarding the Steelers/Titans game, which was affected by positive COVID-19 tests within the TItans organization, but the league eventually decided to call off that game and reschedule it for a later date. Whether or not that will happen in this case as well remains to be seen.

Chiefs' Chris Jones: Won't play Monday
Rotowire 1 HR AGO
Jones (groin) is officially inactive for Monday's game against the Patriots, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
The 26-year-old received the questionable tag after practicing as a limited participant all week, but he won't be suiting up for Week 4. Kansas City will hold him out in a precautionary move, according to Nate Taylor of The Athletic, as Monday's contest is the first of three games in the next 11 days. Tershawn Wharton and Mike Pennel should see increased reps for the Chiefs in his absence.

Chiefs still on the warpath. Their smoke signals indicate they're taking no prisoners. They absolutely scalped the Patriots by a score of 26-10. Patrick Mahomes was like a flaming arrow to New England's hopes. He throws that ball like a tomahawk. 11 TD's & zero interceptions so far this year. The rest of the league better circle their wagons before facing this fearsome band of warriors. Patrick is proving he's worth every single one of the beads in the wampum the Chiefs gave him. There will be no peace pipe smoking until they bring home another championship. I fit quite a few un-PC cliches in there.  |
