PodcastFantasy Price Check - 4 Must-Draft Quarterbacks Outside the Elite Tier | 2026 F...Captured August 1, 2026

From the episode

I have Mahomes projected at 18 fantasy points per game. That kind of brings him into that low quarterback one area, but possibly getting close to that mid QB one area as well... I expect him to be out there. Week 1 versus your Denver Broncos.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Mahomes projected 18 PPG, low-to-mid QB1 range with Week 1 return expected.

Projected at 18 fantasy points per game, placing him in the low QB1 area, possibly creeping into mid-QB1 range; the source notes he was at 21.2 fantasy points per game last year and expects him to be back Week 1 after his ACL injury, citing his mentality similar to Joe Burrow and Tom Brady's recovery trajectory.
