Kansas City Chiefs DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 16 of 27 pass attempts (59%) for 154 yards and zero touchdowns in the 28-18 win against the San Francisco 49ers. Mahomes threw two more interceptions in this contest, bringing his total to a league-leading eight interceptions despite already having his bye week. Mahomes found the endzone on a rushing touchdown against the Niners, but that was the only silver lining. Mahomes has been one of the worst draft picks at the quarterback position this season, and there is not much optimism that it will change since the Chiefs remain undefeated after six games. This game also marks his second straight game with zero passing touchdowns. Mahomes will look to right the ship against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. The Raiders rank 26th in fantasy points allowed to the quarterback position this season, so it will be an advantageous situation for the Chiefs quarterback. That said, Mahomes has not been good for fantasy, and benching him is reasonable at this point.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught one pass for minus two yards in the 34-10 loss to Buffalo. The veteran wideout was a ghost in this one, one receiving one target and failing to record positive yardage in the contest. It appeared that Hopkins was pulled from the game in the second half, standing next to head coach Brian Callahan with his helmet on when the offense was on the field for multiple stagnant drives. It was a strange situation that reeked of a possible benching to save Hopkins' trade value, but no official reports have been made on that matter. This marked the first time in three weeks Hopkins did not lead the Titans in targets and yards, but either way he is unplayable in fantasy until proven otherwise, or until he is traded to a new team.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the 49ers. The wideout entered this contest carrying an injury designation, so it appears he wasn't ready to get on the field after coming off a huge seven-catch, 130-yard outing in Week 5 against the Saints. It's unknown if he'll be ready to go for the Week 8 matchup versus the Raiders. However, if Smith-Schuster doesn't suit up, it will likely result in more targets for Xavier Worthy, Travis Kelce, and Noah Gray.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) exited during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers and is officially questionable to return. He had not been targeted prior to his departure. Smith-Schuster entered Week 7 with a hamstring injury, so while the Chiefs initially cleared him to play, it appears he re-aggravated the issue early during Sunday's contest. As the game continues, the Chiefs' passing attack will funnel through a combination of Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, and Mecole Hardman, among others.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of kickoff. The veteran receiver is coming off an impressive seven-catch, 130-yard performance prior to the Chiefs' Week 6 bye. So far, he has shown that he's capable of handling increased opportunities with Rashee Rice (knee) sidelined. Smith-Schuster, Travis Kelce, and Xavier Worthy figure to lead the Chiefs' pass-catching attack on Sunday afternoon. Smith-Schuster is a viable WR3 in fantasy football.
