Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett and QB Gardner Minshew are the main candidates for the team's starting quarterback job at this point, but general manager Monte Ossenfort said the team is not ready to name a starter yet.
Huddle Up: There is a chance that the Cardinals add a quarterback during the 2026 NFL Draft, so there will likely be multiple candidates for the job. Brissett is probably the leading candidate at this point but will only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew (knee) did not tear his ACL in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans. Further testing reveals he suffered a bone bruise that did not require surgery.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Dec. 27.
Huddle Up: Minshew is out for the season, so Chris Oladokun seems to be the leading candidate to start the final two games of the season. He threw for 111 yards in relief in Week 16 but should not be a starting option in fantasy leagues this week if he starts.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew's (knee) MRI did not show a torn anterior cruciate ligament, but he is still expected to miss time because of the knee injury he suffered in Week 16, according to sources.
Huddle Up: There is a chance that Minshew will not play again this season since there are two games left, but fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation. Chris Oladokun will likely be the starter if Minshew is ruled out for Week 17 but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Chris Oladokun completed 11-of-16 passes for 111 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, coming on for the injured QB Gardner Minshew II (knee).
Huddle Up: Oladokun was a Round 7 pick out of South Dakota State by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He actually made his NFL debut in 2024, appearing in one game with a carry for five yards, while he was also sacked once. It appears he'll be in line to start Week 17 against the Denver Broncos, a tough matchup for your first NFL starting assignment. For fantasy purposes, he can mostly be avoided.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew (knee) suffered what is likely a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the Week 16 game against the Tennessee Titans, sources said Sunday, Dec. 21. He will have an MRI to confirm.
Huddle Up: Minshew appears to be done for the season, and that would leave third-string QB Chris Oladokun as the likely starter heading into Week 17 against the Denver Broncos, a very difficult matchup.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew (knee) left the Week 16 game against the Tennessee Titans due to a knee injury, and he has been ruled out. QB Chris Oladokun is in under center. Minshew finished 3-of-8 for just 15 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions with an 8-yard run before departing.
Huddle Up: Minshew didn't look right for the whole game, and now he might be out going forward. If he is sidelined, and with the Chiefs eliminated, we could see third-string QB Chris Oladokun under center in Week 17. Wow.
Posted: 12/21/2025 6:23 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 16 game and is considered questionable to return.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see how much time Minshew may be sidelined. Chris Oladokun will be the starting quarterback while Minshew is sidelined but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.
