NFL schedule gives Chiefs, Jets major exposure

The Kansas City Chiefs will open the season with a difficult one-two punch as they seek their third Super Bowl championship in a row.

The NFL released its full regular-season schedule on Wednesday night, when the Chiefs got a full look at the challenges in store for them in 2024. They will face Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL's "Kickoff Game" on Sept. 5, and one week later they will play a Cincinnati Bengals team that has beaten them in six of the past eight regular-season meetings.

Plenty of other tests await the Chiefs, such as a road contest on Oct. 20 against the San Francisco 49ers in a rematch of last season's Super Bowl.

In other highlights from the schedule release, Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets learned that they will be in prime time six times this season. The Jets' national slate includes a Week 1 matchup against the 49ers on "Monday Night Football," another Monday night matchup in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills, and a Week 9 game against the Houston Texans on Amazon's Thursday night schedule.

Rodgers and the Jets also will travel to London, where they will kick off against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The league's international schedule includes four other matchups. The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles will face off on Sept. 6 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in what will be the NFL's first regular-season game to be played in South America.

Two more London games feature the Jacksonville Jaguars vs. the Chicago Bears on Oct. 13 and the New England Patriots vs. the Jaguars on Oct. 20, and the final international game showcases the New York Giants vs. the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 10 in Munich, Germany.

The NFL again will play three games on Thanksgiving. The action starts with No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams and the Bears visiting the Detroit Lions, and it continues with a midafternoon matchup between the Giants and Dallas Cowboys. The nightcap features the Miami Dolphins at Green Bay.

One day later, on "Black Friday," the Las Vegas Raiders will visit Kansas City. This marks the second year that the NFL has broadcast a game on the day after Thanksgiving.

On Dec. 8, Kirk Cousins will visit a familiar environment when his Atlanta Falcons travel to play the Vikings. Cousins left Minnesota during free agency in the offseason to sign with the Falcons, who guaranteed him $100 million and surprised him weeks later by selecting fellow quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with their first-round draft pick.

The schedule also includes a pair of games on Christmas Day, a Wednesday, that will air on Netflix -- a first-time broadcast partnership for the NFL. The streaming service will feature the Chiefs vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Ravens vs. the Texans.

"We couldn't be more excited to be the first professional sports league to partner with Netflix to bring live games to fans around the world," said Hans Schroeder, NFL's executive vice president of media distribution.

Bender's Starts/Sits: Week 10

Player Notes
Baker Mayfield Nov 10 3:00pm ET
Baker Mayfield

Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the game against the San Francisco 49ers. The fifth-year All-Pro has been one the most consistently healthy linemen on the team and an important piece to the pass protection. With Wirfs out against one of the better defensive units, it could mean even more trouble for Baker Mayfield with a thin receiver corps. Justin Skule is the next man up on the depth chart.

Micah Parsons Nov 10 3:00pm ET
Micah Parsons

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (calf, illness) and linebacker Micah Parsons (ankle) are officially active for Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both players had been listed as questionable. Diggs had missed practice on Friday but was widely expected to play this weekend. He has 31 tackles and one interception this season. The 26-year-old will be tasked with slowing down the connection between quarterback Jalen Hurts and his top receivers, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Parsons, meanwhile, is returning to play in his first game since Week 4 against the New York Giants. The star 25-year-old had amassed 14 tackles and one sack through his first four games. His return provides a major boost to Dallas' defense ahead of this week's divisional contest.

Jonathan Mingo Nov 10 3:00pm ET
Jonathan Mingo

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He had not appeared on the injury report. However, given that Mingo was acquired from the Carolina Panthers just five days ago, we can assume that he simply needs more time to learn Dallas' system. CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert will continue to be the top wide receivers in the Cowboys' Cooper Rush-led offense.

Caleb Williams Nov 10 2:50pm ET
Caleb Williams

Chicago Bears offensive lineman Teven Jenkins (ankle) is considered questionable to return to their game against the New England Patriots. The fourth-year guard appeared on the injury report leading up to this contest with a knee injury but was cleared to participate until he suffered the ankle injury in the first half. The next left guard on the depth chart is on IR, so they'll have to shuffle around the line who is already struggling to protect Caleb Williams.

Dalton Kincaid Nov 10 2:40pm ET
Dalton Kincaid

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) left Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts in the first half due to a knee injury. At the time, he accounted for two receptions for 24 yards on four targets. The team has officially deemed him questionable to return to the game, so they'll likely perform some tests through halftime to see if he can take the field in the second half. Dawson Knox should see an uptick in snaps and targets while Kincaid is sidelined.

Wan'Dale Robinson Nov 10 2:40pm ET
Wan'Dale Robinson

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson led the team in receiving yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany, hauling in five catches for 51 yards on eight targets. Robinson averaged a solid 10.2 yards per reception, including a 23-yard catch that showcased he can catch deeper passes. He made a few key first-down catches to keep drives alive, showing his value as a reliable option in the Giants' passing game. While he didn't reach the end zone and finished with 7.6 fantasy points, Robinson's consistent reception totals make him a potential fantasy asset in deeper leagues.

Patrick Mahomes Nov 10 2:40pm ET
Patrick Mahomes

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Wanya Morris (knee) has been listed as questionable to return against the Denver Broncos with a knee injury on Sunday. The next left tackle on the depth chart is rookie Kingsley Suamataia, but the offensive line has been pretty suspect so far this week. Morris is an important piece to Patrick Mahomes' protection, so it could be tough sledding against a solid Broncos defense if he can't return.

Theo Johnson Nov 10 2:40pm ET
Theo Johnson

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson continued to build on his momentum in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany, catching four passes for 37 yards on six targets. Averaging 9.3 yards per reception with a 13-yard long catch, Johnson showcased his reliable presence in the Giants' offense. Coming off a breakout Week 9 performance that saw him score his first career touchdown, Johnson has emerged as the team's most dependable tight end option. While he didn't reach the end zone this week and finished with only 5.7 fantasy points, his consistent target share and solid yardage suggest a growing role that fantasy managers should keep an eye on as he becomes a go-to option for quarterback Daniel Jones.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Nov 10 2:30pm ET
Tyrone Tracy Jr.

New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. turned in an impressive ground performance in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany, rushing for 103 yards on 18 carries with a touchdown. Tracy's dynamic 5.7 yards per carry, including a 32-yard burst, provided a spark for the Giants' offense and kept them competitive throughout. However, his strong outing was marred by a costly fumble on the Giants' opening drive in overtime, which the Panthers recovered and quickly converted into a game-winning field goal. With 14.9 fantasy points, Tracy showed his potential as a lead back, though his late-game miscue underscores the need for ball security.

Daniel Jones Nov 10 2:20pm ET
Daniel Jones

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had a challenging day in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany, completing 22 of 37 passes for 190 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Jones struggled to find a rhythm in the first half, missing multiple open targets and throwing for just 54 yards, including a costly red-zone interception. Despite his rough outing through the air, Jones salvaged some fantasy value with a rushing touchdown and 26 yards on the ground, finishing with 14.2 fantasy points. He took two sacks and averaged only 5.1 yards per attempt, underscoring his difficulties moving the offense. Jones' inconsistency remains a concern for fantasy managers, as turnovers and missed opportunities continue to limit his upside.

Joe Flacco Nov 10 2:10pm ET
Joe Flacco

Indianapolis Colts offensive tackle Bernhard Raimann (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills. The Colts offense has struggled, with Joe Flacco already throwing two picks in the first half, one which resulted in the Bills defense taking it back for six. In the meantime, Matt Goncalves will presumably take over.

Malik Nabers Nov 10 2:10pm ET
Malik Nabers

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers led the team in receptions during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany, recording six catches for 50 yards on 10 targets. Nabers averaged 8.3 yards per catch, with his longest reception stretching for 19 yards, though he was kept out of the end zone. Quarterback Daniel Jones missed Nabers on a couple of open looks that could have bolstered his fantasy output, leaving him with 7.8 fantasy points on the day. Early in the fourth quarter, Nabers briefly exited the game for a concussion evaluation after a hard fall, but he returned to the field later in the drive. His heavy involvement and target share suggest a continued role as a top option in the Giants' offense moving forward.

Dak Prescott Nov 10 12:23pm ET
Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) is scheduled to meet with a specialist Monday, Nov. 11, before making a decision on whether to undergo season-ending surgery on his torn hamstring, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

Fantasy Spin: Prescott has been hoping to avoid surgery, which would cause him to miss the remainder of the 2024 season but allow him to make a full recovery in time for the 2025 campaign. However, it appears more likely than not that he will have to go under the knife. QB Cooper Rush will serve as the team's starting quarterback while Prescott is sidelined but he is not a recommended fantasy option.

Miles Sanders Nov 10 12:13pm ET
Miles Sanders

Dynasty | Carolina running back Miles Sanders was carted off the field in the Panthers early morning game in Germany. Dynasty Analysis: Sanders appears to have a left leg or ankle injury that was significant enough to keep him down on the field for some time before leaving on the cart. This has the looks of a significant injury. It would be the end of another terribly disappointing season for Sanders, who has played sparingly behind Chuba Hubbard despite Jonathon Brooks still not taking a snap this season. Sanders is on a lot of waiver wires already and this would be multiplied should this be a serious ailment.

Jamaal Williams Nov 10 12:13pm ET
Jamaal Williams

New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams (groin) is not active for Week 10's game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Fantasy Spin: Williams had been listed as questionable on the injury report after participating in two of the team's three practice sessions during the week on a limited basis. He has had more than 20 all-purpose yards just twice this season and would not have been a recommended fantasy lineup option even if healthy.

Christian McCaffrey Nov 10 12:03pm ET
Christian McCaffrey

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is active for Week 10's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Spin: McCaffrey, the top overall pick in many fantasy football leagues this year, is finally making his long-awaited season debut this afternoon. Even though McCaffrey said he feels like his old self, don't be surprised if the 49ers give him a lighter workload than normal as he works his way back into game shape. He is typically a high-end RB1 option when healthy but he may be more of a flex option this week with elite upside.

Brian Thomas Jr. Nov 10 12:00pm ET
Brian Thomas Jr.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. (chest), Gabe Davis (shoulder) and Devin Duvernay (hamstring), who were all listed as questionable for Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings, are active on Sunday. Thomas has been questionable the last two weeks but has played through his chest injury. The 22-year-old has been Jacksonville's most productive wideout in his first year in the NFL, catching 35 of his 53 targets for 595 yards and five touchdowns in nine games, but his stock as a WR2 in fantasy will take a hit with quarterback Mac Jones taking over for the injured Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) in Week 10 and possibly beyond. Davis missed the Week 9 loss to the Eagles but should be more involved moving forward with Christian Kirk (collarbone) out for the season. However, with Jones starting, Davis will represent a shaky boom/bust WR4/flex.

D'Ernest Johnson Nov 10 12:00pm ET
D'Ernest Johnson

Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson (hamstring) is officially active on Sunday in Week 10 versus the visiting Minnesota Vikings after being listed as questionable on the final injury report. Johnson will join Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby in Jacksonville's backfield this weekend but won't have any standalone fantasy value. The 28-year-old usually works on obvious passing situations, but he'd need an injury to either Etienne or Bigsby to see significant snaps on offense for the Jags. In his second year with Jacksonville, Johnson has just 28 rushing attempts for 114 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and no touchdowns while catching eight of 13 targets for an additional 77 yards. In the two games that Etienne missed due to injury, Johnson saw 10 carries for 41 yards and caught four of six targets for 52 yards for Jacksonville.

Amari Cooper Nov 10 11:53am ET
Amari Cooper

Buffalo Bills WR Amari Cooper (wrist) has been declared inactive for the Week 10 game.

Fantasy Spin: Cooper will be missing his second straight game because of the injury, so fantasy players will need to monitor his status next week. Khalil Shakir is the only Bills receiver that should be a starting option in fantasy leagues, but Mack Hollins could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.
