Featured fantasy football players and injury news:

The big names that come to mind are travis kelsey. The star tight end injured his ankle last Sunday against Minnesota. Kelce returned to the field and even scored a touchdown late in the game, but his injury will be closely monitored heading into Thursday.
Kelce practiced with a limited number of people on Tuesday. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid already said Kelce was scheduled to participate in Tuesday’s practice, but it’s still good to see him represented. Kelce has yet to surpass 70 yards in a game all season. Despite his yardage, he’s still Patrick Mahomes’ preferred target in the passing game, receiving 37 targets in the four games he’s played.
The only other players limited at Tuesday’s practice were linebackers. nick bolton (ankle) and defensive end George Karlaftis (Hamstring). Bolton has been out since Week 2, but when healthy he was one of the best players on the Chiefs’ defense. In 2022, Bolton ranked second in the NFL in total tackles (180). He also recorded two sacks and two interceptions.
Karlaftis, on the other hand, had no problems maintaining his health. He started all 17 games for the Chiefs during his rookie season and has started all five games so far in 2023. He plays a central role in the Chiefs’ defense that has taken the league by storm. Through five weeks, the Chiefs rank in the top 10 in completion percentage allowed and are one of only five teams to allow less than one rushing touchdown on the year. Karlaftis played in 80% of the Chiefs’ defensive snaps, and his absence would certainly be felt if he was sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Meanwhile, Denver has a number of notable injuries.defensive tackle DJ Jones (knee) was listed as absent from practice on both Monday and Tuesday.linebacker Frank Clark (Illness) was also absent.linebacker baron browning (knee), center Lloyd Cushenberry III (quad), defensive tackle mike purcell (rib), linebacker Justin Strnado (back) and safety Justin Simmons (Hip) All participants were limited on Tuesday.
But good news for the Denver offense, running back Javonte Williams (The quad) participated fully in Tuesday’s practice. Williams missed Denver’s Week 5 game against the Jets. instead of him, Jaleel McLaughlin He had a great game, gaining 68 rushing yards on just nine carries. He also completed three passes for 21 yards and a touchdown. McLaughlin’s 68 yards on Sunday were more than Williams had in a single game all season. Still, Williams’ talent will be highly valued in the Broncos’ backfield, even if McLaughlin remains a key player going forward.
In other good news, tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) participated on a limited basis in Tuesday’s practice. After a surprising rookie season, Dalcic suffered a serious injury in the team’s Week 1 game against Las Vegas. He is on the team’s Injured Reserve and won’t be able to return until Week 6 at the earliest. It remains to be seen whether Dalcic will be able to suit up Thursday, but if he’s healthy, he could be in for a big day when Nick Bolton makes the trip to Kansas City.
Matchup news:
As mentioned earlier, Kansas City hasn’t lost to Denver, which has Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. It looks like the winning streak won’t end on Thursday. The Broncos’ defense has been terrible since the start of the season, having a very hard time getting to the quarterback and having an even harder time stopping opposing rushing attacks. The team has given up at least 100 yards on the ground in four straight contests, and Chiefs halfback Isaiah Pacheco is playing the best football of his young career.
Pacheco has reached the end zone in each of the team’s last three games, averaging 4.5 yards a carry in that span. If the game gets out of hand early, reserve running backs Jerick McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire will have competent, if unremarkable, days in front of their home crowd. would expect.
It could be a very tough game for Broncos receivers Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton. The Chiefs’ defense has yet to allow an opposing wide receiver more than 200 yards all season. That said, tight end Adam Trautman, or perhaps Greg Dulcic if healthy, could have a big day, especially if Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton remains sidelined this week. . The Chiefs have allowed six or more receptions to their tight ends in four of their five games and have allowed at least 75 receiving yards to their tight ends for the second consecutive game.
