Patrick Mahomes Targets Pass-Funnel Defense Monday

Patrick Mahomes Targets Pass-Funnel Defense Monday

12 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes enters Week 11's Super Bowl LVII rematch versus the Philadelphia Eagles concerningly on pace for career-worst numbers in the majority of efficiency metrics, namely being touchdown rate (5.1%), yards per attempt (7.3), yards per completion (10.7), yards per game (271.3) and passer rating (96.7). Mahomes has logged a weekly finish as fantasy's overall QB7 or better in just 4-of-9 weeks this season. Fresh off a season-low 185 passing yards in a sleepy Germany win over the Miami Dolphins, Mahomes hopes for some fireworks to detonate against a pass-funnel defense personified by the Eagles. Philly is getting torn up for the third-most fantasy points per game to enemy QBs (19.98) this year, so Mahomes offers plenty of upside as a top-shelf QB1 on Monday night despite the uncharacteristic numbers we've seen out of the two-time MVP in 2023.
