The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast on Patrick Mahomes

Mahomes is a tough draft pick due to declining passing efficiency and injury risk.

JJ Zachariason argues Mahomes is a difficult draft pick despite his lower ADP. Over the last three years, he ranks 17th in completion rate, 23rd in yards per attempt, and 20th in touchdown rate. His 2023 fantasy success was heavily reliant on a career-high 25% of points coming from rushing, which is unreliable given his recent ACL injury and the addition of a capable running back. Furthermore, the Chiefs' lack of investment in wide receivers and a difficult schedule make him a risky click.
