Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) was non-committal about his Week 16 status when asked after Sunday's win over the Browns. "It's hard to say right now,'' Mahomes said. "You still [have] adrenaline rolling and usually it's kind of the day after when you kind of get a good sense of it. I feel like I could have finished the game in different circumstances, but I thought the smart decision ... was to put Carson Wentz in. ... You just do what you have to do to get back, and I think that's the most important thing. And now we just get back to the rehab part, the treatment part, and try to get ourselves ready on a short week against a good football team." Mahomes has just six days to get ready for Saturday's 1 pm ET kickoff against the Texans. We're sure to get many updates on his status between now and then. But fantasy owners will want to have an alternative lined up for Week 16.
