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.
