The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Denver Broncos in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Gardner Minshew.
Is Gardner Minshew Playing in Week 17?
Minshew is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Chiefs’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Minshew in Week 17?
The matchup with the Titans was promising, but with Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton both dealing with concussion protocols, Minshew wasn’t exactly working with Grade A talent.
He completed just three of eight passes (two to Isiah Pacheco) before being ruled out for the rest of the game due to a knee injury suffered in the second quarter. This is truly an example of a team just trying to finish their season, and that means counting on anyone attached to it is risky at best and “reckless” might be the better descriptive word.
