Outlook Patrick Mahomes

Mahomes Represents a Major Draft-Day Steal as He Recovers from Knee Surgery

Patrick Mahomes is progressing well from knee surgery, participating in 7-on-7 OTA drills. All signs point to him starting Week 1. Once fully cleared, he leads an explosive passing attack featuring Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice, and Xavier Worthy.

Our projections peg Mahomes for 3,879 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, and 293 rushing yards. While his 22-touchdown campaign last year was quieter by his standards, his ceiling remains elite, especially with the exciting return of Eric Bieniemy to the coaching staff to help maximize the Chiefs' aerial weapon group.

Mahomes' ADP has stabilized around pick 100 after a brief spike into the 60s. In 1.0 PPR leagues, this injury-discounted price turns the former MVP into an incredible draft-day value. Snagging him in the double-digit rounds offers massive potential profit if he returns to peak form.
