Patrick Mahomes vs. Denver — Primetime Return in Season Opener

Nine months removed from reconstructive knee surgery, Patrick Mahomes is slated to start Monday night against Denver after head coach Andy Reid noted there is a pretty good chance he suits up. Although he officially carries a questionable tag, he took first-team reps in camp and is set to direct the passing game alongside Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy. Fantasy managers should monitor his status into Monday.

Rostered in 94% of leagues but started in just 23% due to early-season health hesitations, Mahomes remains an appealing option. We project 16.6 fantasy points, 223 passing yards, and nearly two scores against the Broncos. While limited mobility could temporarily cap his rushing yardage, fantasy managers can confidently keep him in starting lineups.

Dalton Kincaid at Houston — Streaming TE1 Upside in Close Road Opener

Dalton Kincaid enters the 2026 season fully healthy as Buffalo's lead tight end on the depth chart, ready for a road tilt against Houston. With wideouts Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman nursing injuries and questionable, Kincaid should command steady intermediate looks from Josh Allen alongside DJ Moore in what projects as a competitive matchup.

Our weekly projections slate Kincaid for approximately 3.7 receptions, 42 receiving yards, and 9.6 fantasy points on around five targets. While currently started in 34% of leagues despite a 92% roster rate, his secure role in a high-powered offense keeps him viable as a reliable streaming option with dependable TE1 upside.
