Updating previous reports, Kansas City Chiefs RB Le'Veon Bell will receive $500,000 for 25 percent playing time in an AFC title win and $500,000 for 25 percent playing time in a Super Bowl win.
| Footballguys view: Bell gets to debut with his new team in Week 7 on the road against the Broncos. We'll see how much they use him in his first game and how much Bell contributes as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Bell should split time in the backfield going forward. |

Chiefs | Mecole Hardman in the clear Sat Oct 17, 04:12 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (ankle) practiced in full Saturday, Oct. 17, and doesn't have an injury designation for Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Hardman's speed and ability to attack a defense deep makes him a favorite target of QB Patrick Mahomes. Without Sammy Watkins (hamstring) on Monday against the Bills, Hardman could perform like a flex play with upside in Week 6. |

Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (heel) practiced in full again Saturday, Oct. 17, and doesn't have an injury designation for the Week 6 game Monday, Oct. 19, against the Buffalo Bills.

Chiefs | Kansas City to sign Le'Veon Bell Thu Oct 15, 07:09 PM
Free-agent RB Le'Veon Bell (Jets) will be signing with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Bell goes to the top Super Bowl contender and can do a lot of damage as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. He's not going to suit up against the Bills on Monday night but will be available for Week 7. Bell is going to threaten rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire as the no.1 running for the team. We'll see how Andy Reid (and OC Eric Bieniemy) introduce Bell to the offense. |

Chiefs | Kelechi Osemele may be out for season Mon Oct 12, 06:56 PM
Kansas City Chiefs OG Kelechi Osemele (knees) may miss the rest of the 2020 season after suffering a torn tendon in both of his knees during the Week 5 game, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs had been enjoying solid play from Osemele in place of Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, who opted out of the 2020 season. Mike Remmers is a veteran and he's the next man up behind Osemele. |
Chiefs | Sammy Watkins likely to miss multiple games Mon Oct 12, 04:50 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is expected to miss 'possibly a couple weeks' with the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 5 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.
| Footballguys view: Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson will get more opportunities in the passing game while Watkins is out. Both are what the heck flex plays with Hardman having more upside against the Bills next Monday night. |

Chiefs | Sammy Watkins scores in Week 5 Sun Oct 11, 06:23 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins ended up with two catches for 24 yards and a score on his two targets in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Chiefs | Mecole Hardman totals 50 yards Sun Oct 11, 06:21 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman registered two receptions for 50 yards in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders on three targets.

Chiefs | Tyreek Hill runs for a touchdown Sun Oct 11, 06:16 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill posted three runs for 15 yards and a touchdown while also hauling in three receptions for 78 yards on six targets in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
| Footballguys view: Hill had a gorgeous 58-yard score wiped off of the board by a penalty or there was a much larger day there for him. He has been consistent and a solid hit if you took him as your WR1 with an early pick. |

Chiefs | Clyde Edwards-Helaire mostly bottled up Sun Oct 11, 06:09 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire rushed 10 times for 40 yards in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders and he added three grabs for 40 yards on eight targets.
| Footballguys view: Edwards-Helaire looked ordinary and hasn't been able to provide the red zone productivity or big passing game plays that Damien Williams added to this offense when he was healthy. Edwards-Helaire did have a short touchdown reception wiped off of the board by a penalty. He certainly has not been worth a first round pick in fantasy drafts, and looks more like a modest RB2 than an RB1 heading into a matchup with Buffalo. |
Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes tosses two TDs Sun Oct 11, 06:06 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 22-of-43 passes for 340 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders and he also rushed six times for 21 yards and a score.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes was flustered by pressure and good coverage even though his fantasy result was very good. He hasn't been a disappointment for fantasy teams, but the last two weeks it feels like he could have played better. He'll face Buffalo in a Monday night showdown in Week 6. |
