Patrick Mahomes's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. The 29-year-old found himself on the injury report with an ankle/hip injury but practiced fully all week and has been removed from the injury report ahead of the contest. Mahomes was trending up until he faced the tough Denver Broncos defense in Week 10. Mahomes passed for 266 yards and one touchdown in last week's contest at Arrowhead. The Chiefs quarterback will now take on a Buffalo Bills defense ranked fifth in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season. Despite these teams being two high-powered passing offenses in the past, this game has the makings of a defensive showdown. Kansas City and Buffalo have strong defenses and an affinity for running the ball to dominate time of possession. This week, Mahomes is ranked QB13 in our RotoBaller rankings, placing him outside QB1 territory. Fantasy managers may be disappointed with Mahomes if this contest turns into a defensive affair.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 28 of 42 pass attempts (67%) for 266 yards and a touchdown in the 16-14 win over the Denver Broncos. Mahomes had his lone touchdown in the second quarter on a two-yard pass to Travis Kelce. The Chiefs quarterback was nearly handed his first loss of the season but was saved on a last-second blocked field goal by the Kansas City defense. After two straight games with multiple touchdown passes, Mahomes was held back by the Denver defense. The Chiefs remain undefeated heading into their Week 11 matchup with the Buffalo Bills. The Bills rank seventh in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season, so Mahomes may have another tough matchup next week. Mahomes had nearly 16 fantasy points in a four-point per passing touchdown format this week and has passed for over 260 yards for the fourth time in the last five games. Mahomes has not displayed the high-end fantasy quarterback play he was drafted for, but he has been more usable lately. Fantasy managers should view Mahomes as a low-end QB1 heading into Week 11.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Despite rolling his ankle in Monday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he was a full participant in practice this week. The 29-year-old was removed from the injury report and has been cleared to take on Denver. Mahomes is coming off his best fantasy performance of the season, passing for 291 yards and three touchdowns against the Buccaneers. The Buccaneers defense has allowed huge performances to opposing offenses all season, so this week will be more challenging for the Chiefs quarterback. The Denver Broncos rank sixth in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season, making them one of the toughest matchups. Mahomes has been trending up in the past few weeks, and that trend could continue as he builds more chemistry with DeAndre Hopkins. Mahomes found himself on the injury report earlier this week with an ankle injury but practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation for the game. Mahomes is ranked QB10 in our RotoBaller rankings this week, making him a low-end QB1 in this matchup. Given his recent success, fantasy managers should start Mahomes this week but temper expectations in a difficult matchup.
