Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes finished 18-of-25 for 151 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mahomes also rushed for 29 yards on four carries.
Huddle Up: The 151 yards are the fewest Mahomes has thrown for in any game he started and finished. The first two games are not what fantasy managers have become accustomed to with Mahomes, but the Baltimore Ravens (Week 1) have a good defense and the Bengals have typically played him tough under defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. Week 3 does not figure to be an easy game either versus the Atlanta Falcons, but few quarterbacks can overcome a difficult matchup like Mahomes.

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff absorbed a league-high 69 hits while throwing a pass in 2023, according to Pro Football Reference. Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (65) was the only other quarterback to be hit more than 60 times.
Huddle Up: The 69 hits are 16 more than he absorbed in 2022. The Lions arguably upgraded what was already a very good offensive line with the addition of Kevin Zeitler during the offseason, so the number of hits Goff takes in 2024 should decrease by a decent amount. Goff is generating some early league MVP buzz and has the supporting cast to enjoy his finest season to date if he can stay healthy. He isn't much of a run threat, but Detroit's offense might be so good that he could finish as a top-five fantasy quarterback anyway.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes had only 13% of his completed passes go at least 20 yards in the air last season, which was the lowest percentage of his career.
Huddle Up: Mahomes received help this offseason with the addition of Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy, so he should take more deep shots this upcoming season. He should still be a No. 1 quarterback in all leagues even if he does not significantly throw more deeper passes.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes said the team will push the ball downfield more in 2024. "This is probably the most comfortable I think I've felt of just being able to not let something affect me," Mahomes said. "When you go up against [Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo in practice], you're not going to be right 100% of the time, and there's been times where I've lost on blitzes and Spags gets me with the new pressure that he's working on, and I think it's just being able to get the ball out of my hand, get it to the checkdown or wherever that is and then live to play another play."
Huddle Up: As outlandish as it sounds on the outside looking in, Mahomes was disappointment in fantasy ending up as the QB8. He should improve upon that, granted that his receivers are able to get open and hang on to the ball. However, the position has deepened, and it's not as top-heavy. Be careful overdrafting him, but he's a top-three consideration.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes faces the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, and in four career starts against Baltimore, Mahomes is averaging 369.8 passing yards per game and has thrown 12 touchdowns compared to two interceptions.
Huddle Up: It has been a down season statistically for Mahomes, at least by his lofty standards, but he has owned Baltimore. Don't forget about Mahomes when selecting a quarterback in fantasy playoff contests.
