From the episode

I would be cautious here... there has to be a better option for you to start in week one in one quarterback league than Patrick Mahomes.

Mentioned at 28:20 – 30:05

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Avoid starting Patrick Mahomes in Week 1 due to injury and matchup concerns.

Patrick Mahomes is ranked as the QB20 for Week 1 against Denver. He is coming off an ACL injury and facing a tough Broncos defense, making him a risky start in one-QB leagues.
