- KCInjured Frank Clark Dealing With Minor Groin Injury
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said an MRI exam on defensive end Frank Clark (groin) revealed a minor groin strain on Monday. "He should be able to return after a little bit of rest," Reid said of Clark. The Chiefs locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs with their win over the Las Vegas Raiders in the Week 18 regular season finale on Saturday, so Clark will have an extra week to rest and should be fine to play in the Divisional Round in two weeks. The 29-year-old pass-rusher is a key member of the Chiefs' underrated defensive line, so they'll be happy to get him back. In 15 starts in 2022, the three-time Pro Bowler had 39 tackles (25 solo), five sacks, eight tackles for loss, 13 QB hits, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed wide receiver John Ross to a Reserve/Futures deal on Monday, according to a source. The Chiefs now have the ninth and 10th picks from the 2017 NFL draft with their franchise in Ross and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Ross did not play in the NFL at all during the 2022 season after missing the final four games of 2021 with a knee injury while with the New York Giants. The 27-year-old speedster has been unable to stay healthy for a full season in five NFL seasons, but the Chiefs will take a flier on him. In 37 career games (21 starts), Ross has piled up 62 receptions on 143 targets for 957 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Cincinnati Bengals and Giants.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (back) is officially active for Saturday's Week 18 regular season finale against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Butker came into Saturday's game with a questionable tag, and the Chiefs even elevated Matthew Wright from the practice squad to the active roster just in case Butker couldn't go. The Chiefs need a win on Saturday to secure a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs, so Butker will be in play as a starting kicker for fantasy lineups in DFS and season-long leagues. In the last three weeks, the Raiders defense has been friendly to the kicking position in fantasy, allowing an average of 10 points, the third-highest mark in the NFL.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (pelvis) was activated off of Injured Reserve earlier this week but will not suit up for the team's regular-season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. Hardman was able to log limited practices on Thursday and Friday, signaling that he is nearing a return to action that should come at some point during the playoffs. With Skyy Moore (hand) also ruled out for Saturday's contest, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Kadarius Toney should be expected to lead the way for the Chiefs' receiving corps.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (back) is questionable to play on Saturday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, so the Chiefs elevated kicker Matthew Wright from the practice squad to the active roster for the Week 18 regular season finale. Wright will be the fill-in kicker if Butker is deemed inactive for Saturday's game. Butker has only played in 12 games this year due to injury. He's normally a pretty safe fantasy option in KC's high-scoring offense, but fantasy managers playing for a championship this weekend may not want to take any chances, as the Chiefs could pull him early even if he's active on Saturday. Wright has kicked in six games this year, two with KC and four with the Steelers, going 15-for-18 on field goals and 15-for-15 on extra-point tries.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (pelvis) is questionable for Saturday's contest versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The 24-year-old has 25 receptions for 297 yards and four touchdowns this season but hasn't played in over two months. The Chiefs won't have Skyy Moore (hand), so Hardman could get more involved during the NFC West showdown. However, if the wideout misses another one, Kadarius Toney, who had four catches for 71 yards in Week 17 against the Broncos, may continue to benefit. At the same time, Jerick McKinnon would likely continue to see an uptick on the receiving end. Of course, Travis Kelce will remain Patrick Mahomes' favorite target.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Skyy Moore (hand) did not practice on Thursday and has been ruled out for the Week 18 regular season finale on Saturday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Moore's injured hand remains swollen and sore, so the Chiefs will take precaution and hold him out so that he's ready to go for the postseason. The 22-year-old second-rounder hasn't made much of an impact for fantasy managers in single-year leagues in his first 16 NFL games, as he's caught 22 of his 33 targets for 250 yards and no touchdowns. With Moore sidelined this weekend, look for receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling to see more targets, as well as tight end Travis Kelce. Kadarius Toney and Justin Watson will also have bigger roles.

The Kansas City Chiefs activated wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) from Injured Reserve and listed him as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Hardman has not seen the field since Week 9 but seemingly has a shot to suit up for the team's regular-season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. The fourth-year wideout put together a solid stretch of performances before his injury but will now have to compete with Kadarius Toney in addition to the team's other offensive weapons for opportunities down the stretch.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore (hand) exited Sunday's game with an injury and opened the week with a missed practice. He was seen holding his helmet, meaning he did not participate in any of the workouts or drills. The 22-year-old has had a quiet season catching three or fewer passes in all but two of his games while clearing 30 receiving yards just three times. Although he's likely not someone fantasy managers were relying on this week, his absence would open more opportunities for JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kadarius Toney, adding to their value. The team still has two more days of practice ahead of their contest on Saturday with the Raiders, giving Moore a chance to suit up.

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed (hip), who left the Week 17 game against the division-rival Denver Broncos on Sunday, suffered a hip-pointer injury that is considered minor, according to a source. Sneed is considered day-to-day for now. The 25-year-old picked up the injury after intercepting quarterback Russell Wilson, but he later returned to the game. In his third NFL season, he has a career-high 104 tackles (73 solo), five tackles for loss, five QB hits, 3.5 sacks, three interceptions, 11 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 starts, good enough for No. 2 overall in fantasy points among defensive backs in IDP leagues. It remains to be seen if the Chiefs will rest Sneed in the Week 18 regular season finale, but he should be good to go for the playoffs.
