Actually, I was thinking that the true starter had to be announced a couple of days before game time. However, I could be wrong.

The Chiefs are just now finishing up practice for the day and are expected to release an injury report shortly. But I guess they don't have to release the status of injured players until Friday.

The Chiefs will go through practice this afternoon until about 3:30 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) and then the report will be out. Friday is the day we're really waiting for as the Chiefs will announce injured players as probable, questionable, doubtful or out.
That can't be right.
If you are required to name the palyers who will start, and one gets injured between then, and gametime, it can become impossible to meet the expectations.
I believe the starters only need to be named shortly before kickoff, to have the officials armed with accurate information.
But I can not verify that.
I just know that, as a fantasy owner, moments before gametime is when you get the real information on a starter's injury listing.
