Mahomes faces one of his weakest spots of the year against the Chargers.

Mahomes faces one of his weakest spots of the year against the Chargers, who rank ninth in EPA per dropback allowed. The game total has fallen to 41.5 (down five points), and the Chiefs' team total dropped 2.5 points to 24.5, with the Colts, Falcons, and Packers all having higher team totals. While still a QB1, this is a notably poor matchup for Mahomes.
