Patrick Mahomes

Week 9 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Patrick Mahomes went 27-of-38 for 271 yards and two touchdowns in last week's win over the Raiders. It was his first game with at least two touchdown passes since Week 3. Of course, no one in Kansas City is complaining. The Chiefs are 7-0. They go for 8-0 Monday against the Buccaneers, a team that gives Mahomes a favorable matchup. Tampa is allowing the 4th-most passing yards per game at the halfway point. Kirk Cousins had 276 yards four touchdowns last week against the Bucs,

Week 7 at San Francisco 49ers

Did the bye week help the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes get back on track offensively? Their fans and fantasy owners sure hope so, at least from a touchdown and interception perspective -- Mahomes has six touchdowns and six interceptions in five games. The good news is Andy Reid is usually very good following a bye week. This year, their return from the bye is the Super Bowl rematch against the 49ers, a team that is in the bottom half in the league against the pass. This is Patrick Mahomes we're talking about, so upside will always be there but he's trying to make it work with rookie Xavier Worthy and the returning JuJu Smith-Schuster on the outside. Mahomes threw for 333 yards and two touchdowns against the 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Week 4 at Los Angeles Chargers

Early on, there hasn't been a huge amount of Mahomes magic so far this season. He has five touchdowns and four interceptions and his 89.9 passer rating would currently stand as the lowest of his career. Other than Rashee Rice, no other receiver has been a huge help through three weeks, including Travis Kelce, much to everyone's surprise. The good news is he'll face the Chargers this week without safety Derwin James, who is serving a one-game suspension. Could this be the week Mahomes gets back on his normal track? He's still a top-ten option with room to grow.
