From the episode

will he be back for week one? Once he is, we've seen mobility be such an important part of his fantasy production... if he's back for week one, like it's Patrick Mahomes, man, maybe 13 is too low for him.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Mahomes' ACL recovery on track for Week 1, but mobility return is key to fantasy value.

Suffered ACL tear last season but all rehab reports are positive; expected to be 100% for Week 1. Source's main concern is whether mobility will return to pre-injury levels, as mobility in pocket and rushing are critical to his fantasy production. Strategy: avoid drafting him early, then trade for him in Week 3 once he's fully back up to speed.
