2024 Fantasy Outlook
After ranking as a top-5 fantasy quarterback four of his five years as a starter (twice as No. 1), Mahomes fell to a career-low QB8 last season. He got little help from his wide receivers, who struggled to stretch the field and dropped a league-high 28 passes -- 12.0 percent of catchable targets. A quarter of Mahomes’ attempts were at or behind the line of scrimmage and two-thirds were within 10 yards of the line, both career highs, as his average target depth dropped to a career-low 6.5 yards and his YPA followed suit at 7.0. Mahomes also saw a predictable decrease in red-zone pass attempts after the previous season's NFL-record 123, which led to 10 fewer TD passes inside the 20-yard line. Having perhaps the greatest tight end in NFL history covers a lot of ills, however, and Mahomes will again have Travis Kelce as his favorite target this season. No. 1 WR Rashee Rice, who came on strong late last year, could be suspended, but the team signed fleet-footed Marquise Brown and drafted Xavier Worthy, a first-round pick who ran a 4.21 40 at the Combine -- the fastest since at least 2003. That’s likely a better group than Mahomes had to begin last year, which, coupled with positive regression in red-zone attempts and rushing scores (none last season), has him poised for a return to the top 5 among fantasy quarterbacks.

Rushing TD proves ankle is fine
Mahomes completed 28 of 41 passes for 260 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans. He also rushed five times for 33 yards and a touchdown.
ANALYSIS
Mahomes quickly demonstrated that the ankle sprain he suffered in the Week 15 win over the Browns isn't inhibiting his ability to run, as he scrambled for a 12-yard gain on Kansas City's eighth offensive play and added a 15-yard rushing touchdown three plays later. The star quarterback tacked on an eight-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Worthy in the third quarter as Kansas City improved to 14-1. The Chiefs need one win over their last two games or a Buffalo loss to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a first-round bye. Unless the Bills lose to the 3-11 Patriots on Sunday, Mahomes won't be rested against the Steelers on Christmas.

Mahomes entered last season with questions about how he would fare without speedster Tyreek Hill for the first time. All he did was finish QB1 in fantasy, claim another MVP, win another Super Bowl and prove he’s the best quarterback on the planet. How he did it, though, is the interesting part. Mahomes threw deep on a career-low 8.2 percent of his attempts, 24th in the league. Instead, he chewed up the intermediate field -- no quarterback had more attempts than Mahomes’ 173 in the range of 8-18 yards. That’s a logical strategy when you have the NFL’s best tight end in Travis Kelce. He and his teammates totaled a league-high 2,850 yards after the catch, 54.2 percent of Mahomes’ career-high 5,250 passing yards, giving him league’s second-highest YPA at 8.1. Mahomes also capitalized on a league-high 72 red-zone drives for 34 of his league-leading 41 TD passes. A slight regression there is possible, and JuJu Smith-Schuster (78 catches) is gone. But Marquez Valdes-Scantling is back as the deep threat, Kadarius Toney -- who joined K.C. midseason last year -- is likely to get more work, and the team drafted WR Rashee Rice in the second round. The offensive line is still solid, with Jawaan Taylor replacing Orlando Brown. And, of course, there’s Kelce, with whom Mahomes teamed for a 118.7 passer rating, the third highest by a QB-receiver tandem in the league (min. 75 targets). Throw in another 350 yards and a couple scores on the ground and Mahomes could be one of the few QBs to repeat as QB1.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Playing, likely with WR help
Mahomes doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Texans, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that coach Andy Reid said Thursday that Hollywood Brown has "a good chance" to make his season debut Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Not only has Mahomes been cleared to start Week 16 despite suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 15, but he's also expected to have a key target available for the first time all season. Brown has been sidelined the entire regular season up to this point by a shoulder injury, but the wideout's speed should help open up more big play opportunities while also clearing space for Mahomes to connect with Travis Kelce and other pass catchers more frequently underneath.
