Chiefs likely will have running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire but be without Le'Veon Bell for today’s AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills, per source.
Additionally, the Chiefs will test WR Sammy Watkins pregame, but don’t sound optimistic he will play today.
There's a lower ceiling with Pringle, but I would take his consistency over Watkins going forward. Part with Watkins as soon as its not overly detrimental to the cap. [Reply]
Except for the concussion, I can’t say that I’ve actually seen Sammy get injured during a game. Seems like it always mysteriously happens in practice. [Reply]

Yep, this is it.
If Watkins doesn't play against Tampa then he doesn't even deserve a ring if we win. Playing doesn't seem to be important in Watkins at all, or he would push harder to play.
37 rec for 421 yards this year (more than I expected)
We need the money used on Watkins to fix our Oline.
We should draft another WR to upgrade over Robinson, Hardman, and Watkins. It will be really nice to have a tall guy opposite of Hill to pull some safety attention.
Sammy Watkins has a bigger cap number than Allen Robinson this year. Ugh. [Reply]

The calf injury occurred during the Falcons game, but it wasn't obvious when or how. [Reply]
I expect the Chiefs to take a receiver fairly early in the draft and sign a cheap vet.
The Fisher injury makes the offseason much more challenging. It’s one thing to replace 1 OT, but 2 is going to be tough. Hopefully the organization feels confident in Niang stepping it at one of the tackle spots. That’ll help a lot. [Reply]

I'm not sure I'd even do that. The money would be right, but he'd just be taking up a roster spot while not playing most of the time. That spot could be devoted to developing a young guy for the future. [Reply]
