Travis Kelce (Knee) Limited in Practice Friday
Kelce was limited in practice Friday, although his status for the Super Bowl is not in question. The Chiefs are simply being cautious with their elite TE.
As reported by: Kansas City Chiefs Dante Pettis (Illness), Tevin Coleman (Shoulder) Do Not Practice Thursday
Pettis was out Thursday with an undisclosed illness, although his status for the Super Bowl is not at risk. Coleman was out again, and his availability will likely not be clear until late next week. He suffered a dislocated shoulder in the conference championship game.
As reported by: Eric Branch Other tagged players: Tevin Coleman Travis Kelce (Illness) Will Not Practice Thursday
Kelce will not practice Thursday with an undisclosed illness. With 10 days left until the Super Bowl, Kelce’s status is not in question, and he should play as usual.
As reported by: Matt Derrick Tevin Coleman (Shoulder) Listed as Not Participating on Estimated Practice Report Wednesday
The 49ers released an estimated practice report Wednesday, as they did not actually practice. Coleman was the only offensive player on the report, listed as not participating with his dislocated shoulder.
As reported by: Chris Biderman Demarcus Robinson (Illness) Only Chiefs Player Not Practicing Wednesday
The Chiefs are a healthy team heading into the Super Bowl, with Demarcus Robinson the only player not to practice Wednesday. Robinson is dealing with an illness, making it likely that he will be healthy by Super Bowl Sunday. When the Chiefs are healthy at WR, Robinson has a small but consistent role, playing roughly half the offensive snaps and getting at least two targets in six straight games.

Coleman suffered a dislocated shoulder Sunday, and his status for the Super Bowl is not yet known. The results of an MRI should be available soon.
As reported by: Eric Branch Packers WR Ryan Grant, RB Dexter Williams, and FB Danny Vitale are All Inactive Against the 49ers
Grant and Williams have been frequent healthy scratches, but the Packers were hopeful to have Vitale, who was listed as questionable, for today’s game vs. the Niners. The Packers’ secondary tight ends could see more run with Vitale out, such as Jace Sternberger and Robert Tonyan.

49ers RB Jeff Wilson is Inactive Today Vs. the Packers
With the 49ers top three running backs healthy, Jeff Wilson Jr. is a healthy scratch for the NFC Championship Game.
As reported by: Jennifer Lee Chan Chiefs Second-String QB Matt Moore (Illness) is Out for Today's Game Against the Titans
With Moore out due to illness, Chad Henne will back up Patrick Mahomes today.
As reported by: Adam Teicher Chiefs RB LeSean McCoy is a Healthy Inactive for Today's AFC Championship Game Vs. The Titans
McCoy is a healthy scratch for today’s do-or-die game vs. the Titans, as he had been frequently in the second half of the 2019 season. So much for Andy Reid’s coachspeak of saving Shady for the playoffs.
Darwin Thompson will back up Damien WIlliams, who saw a whopping 97% of the snaps last week and will likely be the highest-owned player on the slate. Thompson, a rookie drafted out of the sixth round, will see higher ownership with McCoy out, but shouldn’t be expected to see much of a role today barring a Williams injury. The Titans ranked 10th in DVOA vs. the run during the regular season, but Williams is an amazing play today because of his role, price, and his team’s ITT.
As reported by: Adam Teicher Titans WRs Cody Hollister and Darius Jennings are Both Inactive Today Vs. the Chiefs
Hollister and Jennings are inactive because Hollister is banged up and Adam Humphries is able to go. Hollister and Jennings being out has little DFS impact.
As reported by: Jim Wyatt Other tagged players: Darius Jennings Titans WR Adam Humphries (Ankle) is Active for Today's Game Against the Chiefs
The biggest DFS news of the day is Adam Humphries’ availability. The slot receiver, who hasn’t played since Week 13 due to an ankle injury, is active today against the Chiefs. This likely pushes Tajae Sharpe back to the WR4 role for the Titans and makes Sharpe an extremely risky play, largely because his snaps should be low since the Titans like to deploy multiple tight ends. Gimino’s ownership projections will probably reflect decreases for Sharpe, Anthony Firkser, and Mycole Pruitt. The Chiefs allowed the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers during the regular season, but every active player is in consideration on a two-game slate.
As reported by: Adam Schefter Other tagged players: Tajae Sharpe, Anthony Firkser, MyCole Pruitt Chiefs DL Chris Jones is Active for Today's Game Vs. the Titans
Jones, a star defensive lineman who missed last week’s game vs. the Texans, is active today and will likely play in a limited fashion for the Chiefs. Jones is an excellent pass rusher for his size and should see work on passing downs if the Titans get behind.
As reported by: Troy Renck Allen Lazard (Ankle), Geronimo Allison (Illness) Not on Friday's Injury Report, Cleared for Sunday
Lazard and Allison practiced fully Friday and do not carry injury designations into Sunday’s game. Both will be available as the Packers take on the 49ers.
