NBC Sports Rotoworld on Patrick Mahomes

QB15 pricing offers upside with revamped Chiefs offense and 20+ PPG ceiling.

Mahomes goes as the QB15—just outside the top 100 picks—in Yahoo drafts. His two worst seasons (2023–2024) averaged 17.5 and 17.7 PPG, both QB12 finishes last year, so even at career-worst production he pays off his current cost. He averaged over 20 PPG in 2025. The Chiefs revamped their offense with Eric Bieniemy returning and Kenneth Walker providing ground-game support, plus healthy seasons from Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice represent upside. This is a bet categorically skewed toward upside.
