Josh Jacobs (quad) was upgraded to a limited participant in Friday’s practice. Jacobs also had an illness designation added to his injury report. Interim head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters he expects Jacobs to return this week and limited practice in the middle of the week makes that increasingly likely. We will know more on Jacobs’ status when the team releases their final injury report on Saturday. Assuming Jacobs is good to go, he will rank as a RB2 versus the Chiefs.
Kansas City Chiefs DFS Spin
Chiefs placed RB Jerick McKinnon (groin) on injured reserve. McKinnons has bene dealing with a groin injury off and on since Week 7. He’s suffered multiple re-aggravations, including one last week, which had led to him being ruled out for this week. He’ll now have to miss the next four weeks, which includes the playoff schedule. The last time McKinnon was out, Isiah Pacheco picked up almost all of his receiving work, so Pacheco, who is returning from his own injury this weekend, could be in for huge workloads to end the season.
