The fantasy football playoffs have seen a wave of injuries impacting key players as teams head into Week 16. Patrick Mahomes, quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, is dealing with a mild high-ankle sprain after a tough performance against the Cleveland Browns.
Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints is facing a groin injury that could sideline him, while Geno Smith of the Seattle Seahawks is optimistic about his knee injury. Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins and Zach Ertz of the Washington Commanders are also nursing injuries, complicating their teams' playoff aspirations.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions' David Montgomery has suffered a torn MCL, and Nick Chubb from the Cleveland Browns is out for the season with a broken foot. Marquise Brown of the Kansas City Chiefs is on the mend and may return soon, but with Mahomes' injury, his prospects are uncertain.
