• Chiefs' Tyquan Thornton: Remains in concussion protocol

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Thornton (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans. Rashee Rice and Thornton both remain in the concussion protocol and won't suit up Sunday after failing to practice in any capacity throughout the week. Thornton would need to log a full practice and receive clearance from an independent neurologist to have a chance to clear protocol before Thursday's game against the Broncos, so he looks like a long shot to play Week 17 as well. Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals are the available options at wide receiver for Kansas City this weekend.

• Chiefs' Tyquan Thornton: Absent from practice again

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Thornton (concussion) will not practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports. Thornton and top wideout Rashee Rice (concussion) have both kicked off Week 16 with back-to-back absences from practice, a scenario that could leave Gardner Minshew shorthanded for Sunday's game against the Titans. Prior to entering the concussion protocol during Kansas City's loss to the Chargers in Week 15, Thornton secured two of three targets for 47 yards.

• Chiefs' Tyquan Thornton: Possible concussion

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Thornton is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers. Thornton took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Tony Jefferson early in the fourth quarter, which resulted in the latter being ejected from Sunday's game. With Hollywood Brown (personal) inactive, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals are all candidates to see more snaps on offense for as long as Thornton is out of the game.

• Chiefs' Tyquan Thornton: Snares two passes versus Texans

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Thornton logged two receptions (on three targets) for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-10 defeat versus Houston. Thornton continues to be part of the glob of wideouts who rotate in to occasionally spell or work alongside the primary duo of Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, logging a 30 percent offensive snap share to sit just behind JuJu Smith-Schuster (38 percent) and Hollywood Brown (34 percent). There's little to like from the latter group in terms of fantasy, Thornton included, but Thornton should continue to mix into the offensive scheme as a deep threat, and there's always the possibility of a role expansion should injuries hit the top of the depth chart.

• Chiefs' Tyquan Thornton: Blanked by Colts

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  Thornton didn't reel in his lone target during Sunday's 23-20 overtime victory against the Colts. Thornton's role on offense has declined significantly with all of the Chiefs' weapons available, and there's nothing to suggest that will change. Thornton remains a deep-threat option in the passing attack, evidenced by his 61-yard grab in Week 11 versus the Broncos, but he'll likely see minimal opportunities moving forward, so he can be viewed as a depth piece with some upside if injuries hit the wide receiver room.
