Outlook Patrick Mahomes
Post-Injury Market Drop Creates Massive Value for Kansas City Star
Patrick Mahomes enters the 2026 season recovering from an ACL injury, but encouraging training camp reports confirm he is firmly on track to start Week 1. Although Kansas City held him out of the preseason finale for precaution, his knee has responded well and his movement continues to trend in the right direction.
Leading an offense featuring Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and new backfield addition Kenneth Walker, Mahomes retains plenty of high-caliber support. We project Mahomes to deliver 3,800 passing yards, 27 passing touchdowns, and 280 rushing yards, reinforcing his standing as an elite fantasy contributor.
Market skepticism has caused his draft stock to tumble significantly, dropping from an ADP near pick 101 in July down past pick 150 heading into September. With our projections signaling stable high-end production, this declining draft cost transforms the former MVP into an exceptional draft-day value steal in 1.0 PPR drafts.

Outlook Jared Goff
Elite Pocket Production Offers Tremendous Late-Round Value
Jared Goff enters the campaign commanding one of the league's most potent offenses alongside coordinator Drew Petzing. Supported by elite weapons like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, and tight end Sam LaPorta, Goff provides exceptional passing stability. Over the past two seasons, he delivered back-to-back campaigns with over 4,600 passing yards and 36-plus touchdowns.
Our season projections forecast another reliable outing, expecting 4,300 passing yards and 31 touchdowns for 276.0 fantasy points. While Goff offers virtually no rushing production, his pinpoint accuracy and high passing volume inside an explosive unit establish a remarkably sturdy weekly floor.
Market sentiment has cooled noticeably over the summer, with his ADP tumbling from pick 114 in late July down to around 168. This slide makes him an outstanding draft-day bargain. Rostered in 81% of leagues, he represents an ideal late-round target for managers punting quarterback.
