Joe Burrow (92 last week) 94
The second-year quarterback earned the Bengals first playoff win since 1991 and his knees are as healthy as they have been all season. He shouldn’t have any limitations against the Titans this Saturday.
Derrick Henry 81
Tennessee’s two-time Pro Bowl running back is set to play his first game since suffering a broken right foot on Halloween. He will likely be effective because of his hulking frame, but is still not ready for a full workload.
Joe Mixon (93 last week) 95
Mixon’s Week 15 ankle injury is a thing of the past. He’s fully healthy and ready for the matchup against the Titans.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire 75
Edwards-Helaire has not played since suffering a shoulder injury Week 16, but has a good chance to play in the Divisional matchup against the Bills. His shoulder should be structurally sound, meaning he can likely manage the pain with a numbing injection.
Darrel Williams 63
The third-year running back is dealing with a nagging toe injury and had just one carry for four yards in the win over the Steelers last week. He will likely be active again this week, but the Chiefs seem to favor McKinnon over him at the moment.
Jerick McKinnon 88
The 29-year-old has suffered two right knee ACL tears, but looked fresh against the Steelers. He will have a role this week against the Bills after having 61 yards rushing and 81 yards receiving last week.
Tyreek Hill (93 last week) 94
The speedy Chiefs wideout injured his heel during warmups before facing the Broncos Week 18. He was unbothered by the injury against the Steelers, finishing with 5 catches for 51 yards and a touchdown against Pittsburgh.
Julio Jones 89
The 32-year-old wideout has been bothered by a hamstring injury since Week 9, but finished Week 18 against the Texans with 5 catches for 58 yards and a touchdown. The bye week certainly helped him and he should look close to fresh against the Bengals.
Emmanuel Sanders (86 last week) 90
The veteran Bills wideout had two catches for 36 yards and a touchdown in the blowout win last week. He missed the previous two games with a knee injury, but should be near full health against the Chiefs.
Tight End
Travis Kelce (91 last week) 93
The 7-time Pro Bowl tight end had 108 yards and touchdown in the Wildcard win, one week after suffering a bruised hip in the regular season finale against the Broncos. The hip isn’t a concern anymore and he’ll be fresh for the matchup against the Bills.
C.J. Uzomah (88 last week) 92
The seventh-year tight end dealt with hip and knee issues late in the season, but those should be behind him now. Uzomah had six catches for 62 yards and a touchdown last week against the Raiders.
