Not a massive ranking delta here, but man … talk about an absolute bruiser of a matchup for Mahomes' first game back off the knee injury that ended his 2025 season. Denver ranks 2nd in DvP against QBs, giving Mahomes an absolutely BRUTAL 13.3 (QB29) projection. I'm not one to want to doubt the GOAT … but this is going to be a tough hill to climb.
