KC's coming off a bit lopsided toward the run game, gaining nearly as many yards per attempt on the ground (5.2) as air yards per target (5.9)... Mahomes, at a 7.6% deep shot rate (16 total), is hardly trying.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Mahomes has cratered to QB30 since Week 2 due to run-heavy scheme and lack of vertical threats.

Mahomes has fallen from top-10 finishes in Weeks 1-2 to QB30 in points per game (12.4 PPG) since, failing to crack QB1 ranks. The source attributes this decline to Kansas City's lopsided run-game approach (5.2 yards/attempt on ground vs. 5.9 air yards/target) and lack of vertical threats, forcing defenses to stack the box; Mahomes' 7.6% deep shot rate (16 total) shows minimal attempt to beat coverage over the top. Without top-50 WR talent on the roster, the offense has shifted toward 12-personnel and short-range passing, limiting Mahomes' ceiling.
