Team news: Kansas City Chiefs | Page 39

WR JuJu Smith-Schuster is returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year, $8 million deal.

This is a little surprising since it appeared that the two sides were headed for a split. The Ravens actually offered more money, but Smith-Schuster decided to take less and stay in Pittsburgh. He finished No. 18 in half-PPR but was No. 27 in per game production. His return helps Ben Roethlisberger's outlook, though it hurts both Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool, who were both likely to see an uptick in targets if Smith-Schuster had moved on. All three players will be in the WR2/WR3 mix with Johnson as the most consistent target of the three. - John Paulsen

Former Eagles QB Carson Wentz has been traded to the Indianapolis Colts, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Eagles received draft compensation in return.

Carson Wentz reunites with Frank Reich in Indy and gets a chance to revive his career after injuries and poor performance derailed much of the past two seasons. This also opens the starting QB job in Philly for Jalen Hurts.

Prior to the trade, our John Paulsen had Wentz and Hurts ranked 28th and 29th in his 'Never Too Early' rankings. That will change for the better for both signal callers.

Eagles are expected to trade Carson Wentz in the coming days in what would be the latest blockbuster QB deal to rock the NFL, sources tell @mortreport and me. The most pertinent questions now become where, when and for what. But it could happen as early as this week.

Sources say that teams have begun calling the Eagles on their former starter Wentz, plotting a roadmap for a potential trade as teams get closer to the start of the league year.

The Eagles are not in a hurry to trade Wentz -- and in fact as of now intend for him to return for 2021 under new coach Nick Sirianni -- but they did field the calls and discussed the issue. GM Howie Roseman will almost always listen, and this is no different.

The Colts are mentioned by both Rapoport and Garafolo, but there are reportedly other teams interested as well. Philly would be left with $34 million in dead money if they were able to trade Wentz, but there's no harm in answering calls.

Patrick Mahomes in video presser on his toe injury: "It feels a lot better.... It's pretty close to 100 percent."

The KC QB suffered the toe injury before he exited with a concussion against Cleveland in the Divisional Round. He seemed alright against Buffalo in the AFC Championship, taking off five times for five yards and showing his usual pocket prowess. Look for Mahomes to post his usual fantasy output on Sunday.

From @NFLGameDay: #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is out of the concussion protocol… but turf toe is a legitimate issue. He’ll see a specialist after the season to determine if he needs surgery.

Patrick Mahomes' ceiling could take a hit with some limited mobility, but he's still certainly in play for DFS on Sunday.

And now Mahomes said he's been cleared from the concussion protocol. So he's good to go on Sunday

If Patrick Mahomes doesn't clear protocol this week, Chad Henne would get the start for the Chiefs against Buffalo. Check for Mahomes' practice participation as the week progresses.
