Minshew avoided the worst, but he is still dealing with a knee injury. He will likely still miss the final two games of the season.

Gardner Minshew II (knee) is feared to have torn his ACL in the Chiefs loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

If Minshew did tear his ACL, it’s the Chiefs second QB to go down with that injury in as many weeks. If Minshew misses time, Chis Oladokun would take over QB duties for the final two games. Even if he avioded major injury, Minshews season is likely over, and the Chiefs passing game takes another hit. Rashee Rice, Travis Kelce, and the other options are tough starts.

Gardner Minshew II (knee) is questionable to return against the Titans. Chris Oladokun is in at QB.

Fantasy Impact

Minshew was seen limping after the injury and his status for the rest of the game is now in doubt. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his status, more so for the pieces they started around Minshew than for Minshew himself.

Gardner Minshew II completed 3-of-5 targets for 22 yards and an interception in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact

Minshew took the field late in the fourth quarter after Patrick Mahomes II left the game due to a knee injury. He wasn't able to lead Kansas City on a game-winning drive and actually ended up turning the ball over relatively quickly. He is set to be Kansas City's starter for the last few weeks of the season with Mahomes diagnosed with a torn ACL, so fantasy managers should have relatively low expectations for this offense for the time being.
