Sources: Rams, Chiefs have concerns over turf in Mexico City after Shakira concert | Yahoo! Sports
There continues to be concern from the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs over the state of the playing surface at Estadio Azteca, which will host the league’s Mexico City game on Nov. 19.
Sources from each team have told Yahoo Sports that there has been serious hand-wringing over the state of the field since a Shakira concert at the venue on Oct. 11, which left the grass surface in significant disrepair.

Coach Andy Reid said Watkins (foot) has a good chance to return for Week 11 against the Rams in Mexico City, Brooke Pryor of The Kansas City Star reports.

Pat Mahomes, Todd Gurley Are Awesome in Real Life—and Fantasy | The Wall Street Journal
Fantasy owners with the foresight to draft Mahomes before the season are likely already dreaming about championships. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has 31 passing touchdowns and a league-leading 3,150 passing yards. His 263.8 fantasy points is topped through 10 games only by Tom Brady in 2007 (283.2) and Aaron Rodgers in 2011 (270.3).
Next week’s potentially high-scoring matchup against the Chiefs should provideplenty of fireworks and potentially a little bit of bubbly if the Rams are able to lock down the division.
AFC: Who’s in
1. Kansas City Chiefs (9-1)
The Chiefs didn’t cover, but they did take care of business handily against the Cardinals, winning by double digits at home and putting themselves in excellent position to secure the No. 1 overall seed. Worth noting, though, they did lose to the Patriots, which hurts them in terms of tiebreakers (although Tennessee helped them in a big way on Sunday) and they do play the Rams this coming week, with the Chargers nipping on their heels in the division.
Spencer Ware is a Good Part-Time Starter Value for the Rest of the Season | Scout
He is projected to be the #60 running back which is exactly what the market sets his value at. Owned in 25% of CBS Fantasy leagues he is projected to average 4.4 fantasy points per week. Even though his projected rank matches his market based rank there are running backs to avoid who are projected for fewer points with a higher expectation.

Patrick Mahomes will continue to be the headline for the Chiefs this year — and for many years beyond. But it was fascinating to hear how the other players on the team talked about Sunday’s 26-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals. To them, this isn’t just about Patrick Mahomes.
