KC QB Patrick Mahomes - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The Chiefs offense struggled last week, but Patrick Mahomes salvaged a poor day with a nice late-game drive that resulted in a score. Mahomes finished the day with 235 pass yards, one touchdown and an interception. He also added a season-high 53 yards on the ground. Mahomes hasn't fully looked like himself lately. In his last four games, he's averaging 255.3 pass yards with a 5-5 TD-INT ratio. But this week he draws a favorable matchup against the Bengals (24th aFPA) in what should be a bounce back game. Over the past four weeks, the Bengals have given up the 6th-most average fantasy points to QBs. Mahomes should still be viewed as a top five option at QB in Week 17.

KC QB Patrick Mahomes - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Patrick Mahomes had a strong outing last week, throwing for 305 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. It was Mahomes' first 300-yard game since Week 7 and his first multi-touchdown game since Week 12. Mahomes should keep up his strong production this week as he gets a decent matchup vs. the Raiders (15th aFPA). Mahomes played Las Vegas just a few weeks ago and finished with 298 yards and two touchdowns with no turnovers. Mahomes will be a strong start in Week 16 and should be viewed as a top five option at QB.

KC QB Patrick Mahomes - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at New England Patriots

Patrick Mahomes had an OK outing last week, throwing for 271 yards with one touchdown and an interception. He nearly had another touchdown at the end of the game, but you might have heard about an offensive offsides call. Mahomes has struggled a bit in recent weeks with lower yardage totals and turnovers. From Week 8 through Week 14 he's QB19 in total scoring, only above Tommy DeVito at QB20. He'll look to bounce back this week as he faces the Patriots (17th aFPA). Mahomes still has an incredibly high ceiling, which we've seen at times this season. He's also been just one drop or penalty short of a big play in multiple games this year. He should still be viewed as a top five option at his position in Week 15.

KC QB Patrick Mahomes - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Buffalo Bills

Patrick Mahomes had a subpar game last week, at least when it comes to Mahomes standards. He finished with 210 yards, one touchdown and an interception with 26 yards on the ground. Mahomes hasn't been as dominant this season as he was last year. In 2022, Mahomes averaged 25.2 fantasy points and this year he's down to 19.3. He's still good enough to be an every week starter, but certainly hasn't put up the production many expected from him. He'll look to bounce back this week in a favorable matchup vs. the Bills (27th aFPA). Mahomes played well against Buffalo last season with 338 yards and two touchdowns. He should be viewed as a top five option at QB in Week 14.

KC QB Patrick Mahomes - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Green Bay Packers

Patrick Mahomes had a solid outing last week, throwing for 298 yards with two touchdowns and no turnovers. Mahomes has thrown multiple touchdowns in three consecutive games, and in eight of his 11 starts this season. This week he gets a fairly tough matchup against the Packers who are 9th in aFPA to QBs this season. While it's not the perfect matchup, the Packers are far from a shutdown defense. Mahomes should be fine and should be viewed as a top five option at QB in Week 13.

KC QB Patrick Mahomes - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Las Vegas Raiders

Patrick Mahomes is coming off of a decent game where he threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. He also added 38 yards on the ground. Mahomes nearly had a third touchdown, but the pass was dropped in the endzone. Mahomes has now been held below 200 pass yards in back-to-back games, something didn't happen once a season ago. But part of that is due to the Chiefs receivers leading the league in dropped passes (26). While Mahomes hasn't been putting up the insane numbers we've seen in the past, he's still been productive with multiple touchdowns in seven of his 10 games. This week he faces the Raiders (8th aFPA), which isn't an ideal matchup, but Las Vegas is far from being a shutdown defense. Mahomes should still be viewed as a top five option at his position.

KC QB Patrick Mahomes - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Patrick Mahomes is coming off of a bye week, and before the rest, he was putting up good numbers. He's averaging 271.3 pass yards per game, 28.7 rush yards and has a 17-8 TD-INT ratio in nine games. In those nine games, Mahomes has finished with at least two touchdowns in six of them. He's been an elite option at QB, and that should continue in Week 11 as he faces an Eagles defense that's 30th in aFPA to QBs. The Eagles have given up the 2nd-most passing touchdowns this season, so it seems like a strong possibility we see another multi-touchdown game from Mahomes. He's an easy must-start option at QB in Week 11.

KC QB Patrick Mahomes - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Miami Dolphins

Patrick Mahomes is coming off of the worst fantasy performance of his career. Despite a favorable matchup against the Broncos (a team he was 12-0 against before), Mahomes finished with 241 yards, no touchdowns, two interceptions and a fumble. Mahomes reportedly was dealing with the flu heading into the game, which may have impacted his performance. While it's definitely disappointing, we wouldn't hit the panic button on Mahomes. Literally the week before he threw for over 400 yards with four touchdowns. Mahomes should bounce back this week against the Dolphins (25th aFPA) in what could be a high-scoring game between two of the best offenses in the league. Mahomes is a must-start QB1 in Week 9.

Wednesday, November 1, 2023 - 5:24pm
KC QB Patrick Mahomes - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Denver Broncos

Patrick Mahomes had his best game of the season last week as he threw for 424 yards with four touchdowns and an interception. He also added 29 yards on the ground. As expected, Mahomes has been one of the best options at quarterback this season as he's currently QB3 in fantasy. He should have another successful outing as he faces the Broncos (30th aFPA) this week. Mahomes faced Denver just a few weeks ago and threw for 306 yards with one touchdown and an interception. Mahomes should be viewed as a must-start option at QB in Week 8.

Thursday, October 26, 2023 - 4:40pm
KC QB Patrick Mahomes - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Patrick Mahomes had a decent outing last week, finishing with 306 yards, one touchdown and an interception. He also added 31 yards on the ground. Owners may have wanted a little more out of Mahomes considering the matchup vs. the Broncos, but 300+ yards isn't bad. Mahomes draws another favorable matchup this week against the Chargers who are 32nd in aFPA QBs. Mahomes played well against the Chargers last season with games of two touchdowns and three touchdowns with no interceptions in either outing. Mahomes is an easy must-start option at QB in Week 7.
