Mahomes hasn't hit 18 fantasy points in any of those four outings and has averaged just 13.2 PPG in total, with three TD passes, four interceptions, 64 QB pressures and 12 sacks. He finished outside the top 10 quarterbacks in fantasy each of the last three times that he faced his division rival ... and all of this history comes before tearing multiple knee ligaments, having surgery and rehabbing for just nine months.

Mahomes faces Denver after knee surgery; avoid despite starting status.

Mahomes is expected to start Monday night against Denver despite being just nine months removed from major knee ligament surgery. Historically, Mahomes has struggled against the Broncos under Vance Joseph, averaging 13.2 PPG across four games with three TDs and four INTs, finishing outside the top 10 QBs in fantasy each of the last three matchups. Playing at less than 100% against one of the league's most dangerous defenses, he's well outside QB1 range; streaming options like Jared Goff, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Tyler Shough, and Bo Nix are preferred, with Mahomes likely finishing closer to QB20 than QB10.
