FantasyPros Articles on Patrick Mahomes
From the article
Patrick Mahomes saw his season end in Week 15 last year with a torn ACL... I don't expect those numbers to repeat this season coming off the ACL injury. Mahomes will work from the pocket more in 2026, especially to open the season.
STACKED’s take
Mahomes returns from ACL injury; expect reduced rushing volume and tough Denver defense.
Mahomes suffered a torn ACL in Week 15 of 2025, ending his season when he was QB2 in fantasy points per game. Prior to injury, he averaged career-high 6.6 rushing attempts per game and 30.1 rushing yards per game (first in scrambles per game, 14th in red zone carries). The source expects those rushing numbers will not repeat in 2026 as Mahomes works from the pocket more, especially early in the season. His 2025 passing metrics were uninspiring: 18th in yards per attempt, 24th in adjusted completion rate, 16th in highly accurate throw rate, and 30th in catchable target rate among 38 qualifying passers. Denver presents a tough Week 1 matchup (second-fewest yards per attempt allowed, sixth-lowest passer rating, second-lowest passing success rate, sixth-fewest EPA per dropback).
