Patrick Mahomes vs. Chargers: Undefeated Chiefs Poised for Division Showdown

Mahomes leads the 4-0 Chiefs into an AFC West home date against the winless Chargers. While Kansas City's pass-catching room takes a hit with Tyquan Thornton landing on injured reserve and Rashee Rice nursing an injury, Mahomes continues to run the offense with high efficiency alongside Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy.

With Kansas City heavily favored at home, a positive game script could limit late-game throwing volume. Still, our models project him for around 234 passing yards, nearly two touchdowns, and 18.3 fantasy points. Even with banged-up weapons, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

Drake Maye vs. Jets — Red-Hot Quarterback Primed for Another Strong Outing

Drake Maye has caught fire over his last two games, leading New England to consecutive wins while racking up 643 passing yards and eight total touchdowns. The offense has found its rhythm, keeping pressure off Maye and unlocking his downfield aggression with weapons like Hunter Henry and DeMario Douglas.

Our weekly projections forecast another productive afternoon with 220 passing yards, 1.5 passing scores, and 28 rushing yards (19.9 fantasy points) as home favorites against the Jets. With his start rate surging to 86%, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.
