From the article

Even if Mahomes hasn't been playing at the MVP level lately, the way he's come back from a torn ACL (among other issues) in such a short time is nothing short of impressive. The numbers haven't been gaudy, but looking at the offensive depth chart, I'd say he's playing well above what he should.
