Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes (ankle) 'doing okay' ahead of AFC Championship
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said quarterback Patrick Mahomes (high ankle sprain) is "worked hard on the treatment and is doing OK" ahead of the team's AFC Championship matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.
What It Means:
Mahomes is dealing with a painful high ankle sprain injury, but it seems like he and the team are going to do everything in their power to make sure he can start against the Bengals next weekend. If Mahomes is unable to play, the Chiefs will need to rely on Chad Henne to take on Cincinnati.
If he is able to start (and finish the game), our models project Mahomes for 19.6 fantasy points against the Bengals, with 282.9 yards, 1.9 touchdowns, and 0.6 interceptions.
