Matched Drake May's PPG last year; beats 8th-round ADP easily

Patrick MahomesQBKC

Patrick Mahomes was a smash in 2023 and scored well last year, matching Drake May's points per game and only 1.2 points below Josh Allen per game in Underdog scoring. At eighth-round ADP, he can easily beat that price. The source frames Mahomes as a late-season upside bet—he doesn't need to match last year's full-season performance, just trend closer to it by year's end. While rushing upside may be slightly down post-ACL, the price is forgiving enough that Mahomes can outperform his ADP without matching 2023 production.
