Mahomes ahead of schedule from ACL; creative offense and pass-catching RBs support consistency.
Patrick Mahomes is returning from a torn ACL suffered in Week 15 of 2025 and is ahead of schedule, already participating in training camp and expected to start Week 1. Kansas City has thin wide receiver depth with Rashee Rice facing potential suspension, Cyrus Allen dealing with a shin injury, and Xavier Worthy nursing a shoulder injury; rumors continue about a possible move for Stefon Diggs. The Chiefs remain creative in their West Coast offense, using running backs as pass-catchers and shifting into 12 personnel with two tight ends. They signed Kenneth Walker III in the offseason for more passing-game work, and Jalen Royals could elevate the offense if he earns snaps. Despite finishing QB11 last season with 296.7 points, QB11 in 2024 with 293.9 points, and QB8 in 2023 with 294.1 points, Mahomes continues to deliver steady production even with uncertainty around him.
