Patrick Mahomes Seeks Rebound in Denver Road Matchup
Mahomes and the Chiefs look to rebound after a frustrating showing against Seattle, where the offense failed to reach the red zone for the first time in his career. He has gone without a passing touchdown while throwing two interceptions across his last two games, which has caused his fantasy start rate to drop to 33%.
Our weekly projection anticipates a steady bounce back, forecasting 219 passing yards, 1.2 passing touchdowns, and 17.1 fantasy points against the 5-2 Broncos. Facing a defensive division rival with a low 41.5 over/under, fantasy managers should view him as a viable but matchup-dependent starter.

Tyler Higbee vs. Chargers — Clear Path to Snaps in Cross-Town Battle
Operating as the Rams' top tight end, Higbee enters this home matchup with secure snap volume as fellow tight end Colby Parkinson has been ruled out with a rib injury. Matthew Stafford should look his way underneath, though Higbee aims to rebound from a modest two-game stretch where he totaled just six catches for 36 yards.
Our weekly projection slots Higbee for approximately 3 catches and 35 yards, generating around 8 fantasy points in PPR formats. Fantasy managers have grown cautious, with his start rate dipping into single digits, but the tight positional depth chart keeps him viable. Facing a winless Chargers squad where the Rams are solid favorites, Higbee is a reasonable deep-league streaming play with touchdown-dependent upside.
