Fantasy Impact: Brown was on the injury report with both a knee issue as well as for rest. He should be good to go for Sunday. The bigger question is the health of Jalen Hurts.

Bears RB Travis Homer (hamstring) is officially inactive for a Week 17 matchup with Seattle.

Fantasy Impact: Homer was unable to practice this week due to a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old has appeared in 10 games this season, but has only logged six carries.

The Chiefs D/ST registered five sacks while also recording two turnovers (one interception, one fumble recovery) in a 29-10 win over the Steelers in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: The unit continues a solid stretch, allowing less than 20 points in each of the last five games, recording 18 sacks and 10 turnovers in that same span. The defense will look to finish the season with another strong performance in a Week 18 contest against the Denver Broncos and rookie quarterback Bo Nix.

Patrick Mahomes II completed 29-of-38 pass attempts for 320 yards and three touchdowns while also rushing once for 12 yards in the Chiefs' 29-10 Week 17 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: Mahomes II turned in a strong performance with the help of a Kansas City offensive line that did not allow a sack Wednesday, throwing for more than two touchdowns for the first time in five games. The superstar quarterback could be rested after the Chiefs clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC Christmas Day, with a Week 18 contest against the Denver Broncos up next.

Xavier Worthy hauled in eight of his nine targets for 79 yards and one touchdown while also rushing twice for 10 yards in the Chiefs' 29-10 Week 17 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: Worthy continues an impactful stretch in the Kansas City offense, finishing with at least 75 scrimmage yards and one touchdown in each of the last three games. The versatile wideout could be rested with the No. 1 seed in the AFC clinched Wednesday, with a Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos up next.

Travis Kelce hauled in eight of his team-leading 11 targets for 84 yards and one touchdown in the Chiefs' 29-10 Week 17 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: Kelce turned in an impactful performance on Christmas Day, finishing with more than 70 receiving yards for the first time in eight games. The veteran tight end will likely be rested after clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC in Wednesday's win ahead of a Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Kareem Hunt carried the ball nine times for 20 yards and one touchdown in the Chiefs' 29-10 Week 17 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: Hunt has made the most of an otherwise forgettable stretch out of the Kansas City backfield, reaching the end zone in each of the last two games despite rushing for less than 60 yards in both. The running back could be rested with other Kansas City skill players after clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC Wednesday, with a Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos up next.

Isiah Pacheco carried the ball six times for 18 yards in the Chiefs' 29-10 Week 17 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: Pacheco has struggled to make an impact out of the Kansas City backfield, rushing for less than 40 yards in each of the last three games. The running back's role could be downsized with the No. 1 seed already clinched by the Chiefs ahead of a Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) will miss the rest of the regular season according to Tom Pelissero. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lamb aggravated the shoulder injury in Week 16 against the Buccaneers and will now be shut down for the final two games for the Cowboys. The dynamic wideout finishes the season with 101 receptions for 1,194 receiving yards and six touchdown receptions.

Marquise Brown hauled in four of his seven targets for 46 yards in the Chiefs' 29-10 Week 17 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: Brown has seen plenty of involvement since returning from injury, recording four or more receptions on seven or eight targets in each of his two games. The wideout could be one of many Kansas City skill players rested with the No. 1 seed in the AFC already clinched ahead of a Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Justin Watson caught both of his targets for 60 yards and one touchdown in the Chiefs' 29-10 Week 17 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: Watson has not been an impactful option in the Kansas City offense, finishing with more 40 receiving yards for the first time this season Wednesday. The pass-catcher could see increased involvement if Kansas City rests their starters with the No. 1 seed in the AFC already clinched ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Denver Broncos.

Samaje Perine rushed twice for nine yards while also catching both of his targets for 20 yards in the Chiefs' 29-10 win over the Steelers in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Perine has been minimally involved out of the Kansas City backfield, carrying the ball more than once for the first time in nine games. The running back could see an increased workload with the No. 1 seed in the AFC locked up Wednesday, with a matchup against the Denver Broncos up next in Week 18.

Anthony Richardson remained sidelined from practice on Thursday. (Source: Nate Atkins on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It is the second straight absence from practice for Richardson. His status will need to be monitored at practice on Friday as he battles multiple injuries.

JuJu Smith-Schuster caught both of his targets for 18 yards in the Chiefs' 29-10 win over the Steelers in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Smith-Schuster remains minimally involved in the Kansas City offense, finishing with two receptions or less on three targets or less in each of his last eight games. The wideout could be in line for an increased workload with Kansas City clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC with Wednesday's win, with a Week 18 contest against the Denver Broncos up next.

Isaac Guerendo was limited at practice on Thursday. (Source: Cam Inman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Guerendo was expected to return to practice this week. If he is available, he'll be an RB2 play for fantasy managers.

Drake London said he expects to play on Sunday against the Commanders. (Source: Marc Raimondi on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: London left last week's game early with a knee injury, but he said he could have returned if the game was closer. He was limited at practice on Wednesday and should be good to go for Sunday.

Kenny Pickett was throwing at practice on Thursday. (Source: Zach Berman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jalen Hurts missed practice again. It is seeming more likely that Pickett starts on Sunday against the Cowboys.

DeAndre Hopkins caught two of his four targets for seven yards in the Chiefs' 29-10 win over the Steelers in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Hopkins failed to make an impact in the offensive gameplan Wednesday, finishing with less than three receptions for the first time in the last six games. The veteran wideout could be rested with the No. 1 seed in the AFC clinched ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Denver Broncos.

Jalen Hurts did not practice on Thursday. (Source: Zach Berman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Time is running out for Hurts to clear concussion protocol. Kenny Pickett was throwing at practice and likely will start if Hurts is sidelined.
