Browns to start Dorian Thompson-Robinson at QB

Tests results indicated Patrick Mahomes is dealing with a high ankle sprain and there's a "possibility" he could miss Week 16.

Rapoport's messaging in this clip can be taken a couple of different ways. The positive view is Mahomes "possibly" missing this week can almost be taken there's a better chance he plays. The situation reminded Rapoport of the playoff game against the Jags a few years ago, where Mahomes didn't finish the game the week before, but came back and played the following week. Rapoport added that, long-term, Mahomes will be fine, and that Mahomes' body is "built differently," so it won't be the normal 4-6 week recovery time for a high ankle sprain. We're a long way from Saturday's game, but if Mahomes can't play, Wentz would get the start against the Texans. Mahomes owners should probably be thinking of a backup plan now in case he's unable to play, so picking up Wentz may not be a bad idea if you own Mahomes in deeper leagues, or two-QB and superflex leagues.

Injury Update: RB Sincere McCormick (ankle) is OUT.

Related players: Alexander Mattison, Ameer Abdullah

McCormick left the game with just eight yards rushing and two catches for 17 yards. McCormick was named the team's RB1 even with the return of Mattison, but it now remains to be seen if he'll be good for Week 16. Mattison fumbled in the game and only had 21 rushing yards on seven carries with two catches for three yards. Abdullah may be the back to own in this offense. He only carried three times for eight yards, but did catch seven balls for 58 yards and a TD. On top of that, the Raiders host the Jags in Week 16 in the later slate of games on Sunday. Abdullah could be a nice, although risky, play in a good matchup for those who may be looking for a running back on their fantasy playoff roster.

“We have a lot of confidence in Jahmyr Gibbs,” Campbell said, via the team’s website. “He’s continued to get better and better as the season has gone. Given the opportunity, he’s made a lot of plays. He made some big plays for us. He brings an explosive element. He’s getting better in the pass game, and you see what he’s able to do in the run game. We have a ton of confidence.”

Craig Reynolds and fourth-round pick Sione Vaki are also on the Lions roster, but it’s going be Gibbs’s show the rest of the way and the Lions will need him to keep performing at the same level.

Gibbs owners look like they could greatly benefit by the injury to Montgomery as we head down the stretch of the fantasy playoffs. We detailed a little bit on Monday that last season, when either Montgomery or Gibbs were out of the lineup, Reynolds got between 7-14 carries in three of those four games (the fourth was a blowout loss to the Ravens). It still remains to be seen just how the team will divide up the carries, but it's reasonable to think Gibbs should at least see a slight uptick in work with Montgomery out.
