I think that we could see like, you know, people want to be attacking like the rushing unders for his props. I think that's definitely a good look on this for the first few weeks of the season. I don't think he's going to be running a ton

Expect a dink-and-dunk approach and limited rushing from Mahomes early on.

Patrick Mahomes is expected to start Week 1 despite injury concerns, but fantasy managers should anticipate a 'dink and dunk' approach similar to the last three years; the source suggests betting the under on his rushing props for the early season as he likely won't run much.
