Chiefs add Justin Fields from the New York in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick.
This is quite the “insurance policy” for the Chiefs. Trading for Justin Fields on the same day free agency buzz is peaking really underscores how much the front office may be sweating Patrick Mahomes’ ACL/LCL recovery timeline.
Going from the Jets’ recent offensive struggles to Andy Reid’s system is essentially going from a tricycle to a Ferrari. In Superflex leagues, Fields just became a priority “handshake” pick if you’re the Mahomes owner, and if Mahomes isn’t ready by mid-September, Fields would be a Top-12 fantasy play purely on rushing volume.

On Friday, Kansas City head coach Andy Reid spoke positively about the chances of having Travis Kelce back in 2026
Tight end Travis Kelce has made little more than a peep with regard to his weighing of a possible retirement. He’s been candid about the possibility, and last left the media without comment after the final game of the 2025 season on whether he would accept a team-friendly deal to ‘give it another go.’
Kelce is locked in near the top of every statistical category in the history of the position, even crossing significant benchmarks last year in receptions (1,004) and yards (13,002). Both of those rank third all-time. The only other milestone he could cross in another season would be to pass Jimmy Graham for fourth in touchdowns. He trails Graham by 12 and Rob Gronkowski by 15.
“There is communication,” coach Reid said of talks with Kelce. “That’s the main thing. I’ve said this before: As long as there’s communication, I’m good. That means people want to move forward. I think that’s where Travis is.” Reid was decidedly upbeat when discussing the Ohio native. Kelce also made several appearances in the days leading up to this year’s Super Bowl LX, and a number of sources within the organization say they expect that he’ll return.
Presumably, two big factors are being taken into account. Eric Bieniemy has been brought back on board to re-assume the offensive coordinator position. He and Kelce have a significant bond. Additionally, Kelce’s best friend, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is rehabbing seven to eight hours per day to be ready for the start of the season.
The tight end has said he’ll make his decision by the start of the league year on March 11. Expect a contract to be finalized before then.

Amidst rumblings of where the recently released Tyreek Hill could find his next home, Andy Reid of the Chiefs gave no indications of pursuit
Tyreek Hill, who starred with the Kansas City Chiefs for six seasons from 2016-2021, was released this week by the Miami Dolphins as they embark upon what appears to be a drastic overhaul of their roster. Speculation has run rampant as to where Hill may play in 2026, with the most popular destination among fans and media alike pointing directly to his old stomping grounds in Kansas City.
Hill started out catching passes from Alex Smith in KC before the transition to all-world quarterback Patrick Mahomes in 2018. During his time with the Chiefs, Hill was named to the Pro Bowl every season, earned All-Pro honors three times, and played in two Super Bowls, winning one in 2020. The Georgia native amassed 479 catches for 6,630 yards while carrying a 13.8 average per reception and adding 62 all-purpose touchdowns.
Injuries have been tracking the 31-year-old in the last two seasons. In 2024, he battled painful wrist and knee injuries and did not look like himself. Then, in Week 4 of 2025, a devastating knee dislocation with multiple torn tendons (including the ACL) forced him out for the rest of the season.
That seemed to be the impetus of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid this week when asked on Friday about the possibility of a reunion with the wideout. “I don’t even know if Tyreek is healthy right now to do anything. I’m sure he’s working hard on that part of it and trying to get all that straightened out… we know what you know.”
Fantasy lowdown: Suffice it to say, if Hill completes his rehab and is ‘ready to go,’ Kansas City could be the first in line for his services. Hollywood Brown is set to turn 29 before the season and is headed to free agency. Xavier Worthy suffered a significant regression in 2025. Travis Kelce is not getting younger, and Rashee Rice is back in the midst of legal troubles. Every indication is that Mahomes will be ready to start the season, but he may have a new-look arsenal.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has successful knee surgery and is looking at a nine month recovery time.
Patrick Mahomes had successful knee surgery to repair a torn ACL and LCL, with a nine month timeline there’s a chance Mahomes is ready for the Kansas City Chiefs week one game of the 2026 season. Mahomes suffered the injury in the Chiefs loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in week 15.
The loss eliminated the Chiefs from the playoffs and the focus turns to Mahomes rehab and the 2026 season. The Chiefs struggled on offense this year and face more questions than just Mahomes health entering the offseason.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs couldn’t get anything going in their 20-10 loss to the Houston Texans.
The Kansas City Chiefs as a whole struggled on offense against the Houston Texans. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes only completed 14 passes for just 160 yards and three interceptions.
The Chiefs running game struggled as well, Mahomes led the team with 59 yards, Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt each had 30 rushing yards. Xavier Worthy led the team in receiving with 55 yards, no other pass catcher had more than 35 yards.
The Chiefs offense has had problems all year and it doesn’t look like they’ll be getting things fixed anytime soon. Most fantasy managers spent premium picks on Kansas City players but alternative options need to be explored if they haven’t been already.

The Kansas City Chiefs fall short of a fourth comeback against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving to fall to a record of 6-6
What a game to watch as fans and fantasy managers alike enjoy their Thanksgiving dinner. The Chiefs were shut out in the middle quarters and put up 14 in the fourth, but lost to the Dallas Cowboys, who are now on a three-game win streak.
Rashee Rice caught two of Mahomes’ four touchdown passes on the day, finishing with eight receptions and 92 yards and those two scores. Rice now has six touchdowns since returning from his suspension, and he remains the top option for the Chiefs as they head down the stretch in a dog fight to secure a playoff wild card spot. Mahomes completed 23 of 34 passes for 261 yards and four touchdowns on the day, this is the first time since Week 8 that Mahomes threw for more than one touchdown. The Chiefs will look to keep the offense humming as they take on the Texans in Week 14.
