Patrick Mahomes - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Patrick Mahomes - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

one year ago

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes looks to bounce back in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars from a subpar Week 1 performance by his lofty standards. The 27-year-old performed better than his 226-yard, two-touchdown, one-interception line would indicate after being plagued by at least six receiver drops without top target Travis Kelce (knee). Kelce will return for Sunday's contest, solidifying Mahomes as one of the weekend's premier QB1 plays. Jacksonville's defense sacrificed the sixth-most passing yards (4258) last year, and they just allowed raw rookie Anthony Richardson to finish as Week 1's overall QB4 in his NFL debut. Mahomes also tagged the Jags for a 74% completion rate (48-of-65), 526 yards, and a 6:1 TD:INT in two 2022 meetings including the AFC Divisional Round. Several other top fantasy QB1s reside in potentially high-scoring environments, so Mahomes' DFS rostership might be lower than expected despite this game presenting the slate's highest projected point total.
