Tyreek Hill Headed To COVID-19 List
3 years agoKansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been placed on the COVID-19 list, putting his availability for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in question. The Chiefs also placed cornerback Rashad Fenton and tight end Blake Bell on the COVID-19 list. The Patrick Mahomes-led offense could be extremely shorthanded in Week 16, as tight end Travis Kelce tested positive for the virus on Monday. With the NFL's new protocols in place, it is easier for vaccinated and asymptomatic individuals to be cleared to play, but this is still a situation to monitor. If Hill isn't able to play, Mecole Hardman would likely be the biggest beneficiary of his absence, while Demarcus Robinson would get a boost in value as well. Still, further positive tests in Kansas City could be coming, so it is best that fantasy managers take a wait-and-see approach leading up to Week 16.
