All Mattek Fantasy Football insights about Patrick Mahomes
PositiveValueAug 22, 2026
Patrick Mahomes is considered an insane value, having finished as a top-10 fantasy quarterback every year of his career. Despite coming off a torn ACL, he is currently being drafted outside the top 100 picks and is a target in the final quarterback tier.PositiveProjectionAug 9, 2026
The source suggests that the Chiefs' offense will outperform current market projections as Patrick Mahomes gets healthier, creating a more favorable environment for his running backs.NegativeValueAug 7, 2026
Mattek Fantasy Football speaker highlights Mahomes as exceptional ADP value, available in round 11–12 in reddraft despite scoring 20 fantasy points per game last year before ACL injury. Speaker dismisses ACL injury concern, noting modern recovery protocols (gray market peptides, arthroscopy) have made ACL injuries less impactful than Achilles injuries. Mahomes is a top-10 fantasy QB in points per game with a consistent track record, making him a reliable late-round quarterback target rather than an early investment. Advocates for Mahomes if you miss the Daniels/Burrow/Mayfield/Lamar tier.PositiveProjectionAug 6, 2026
Averaged 20 fantasy points per game last year and is on the revenge tour after missing the playoffs last season; speaker is targeting him. Ranked in the 76–116 tier of the top 100 players.PositiveProjectionJul 2, 2026
Patrick Mahomes succeeded in the deep ball role last season and has left a lot on the field with deep balls in years past, suggesting opportunity for deep threats like Tyquan Thornton.PositiveProjectionJul 1, 2026
Patrick Mahomes is mentioned as one of several viable quarterback options available in the draft, part of a deep pool of approximately 17-18 good fantasy football quarterbacks this year.PositiveValueJun 29, 2026
Patrick Mahomes is a great bet in 2026 because he is underpriced just for his passing production.PositiveRoleJun 29, 2026
Mahomes' design runs and scrambles provide a stable and projectable source of weekly ceiling and floor, making rushing QBs more reliable than pure passing QBs.NegativeMatchupJun 29, 2026
Mahomes had bad games against Buffalo, Denver, and Houston where he was unable to add any rushing production, limiting his upside in those matchups.PositiveUsageJun 29, 2026
Mahomes' poor passing production in 2025 was offset by rushing touchdowns, which gave him a much safer floor and higher ceiling than pure passing QBs.PositiveProjectionJun 29, 2026
Patrick Mahomes' best season came with rushing, demonstrating the strong correlation between rushing attempts and quarterback fantasy points.PositiveValueJun 23, 2026
Listed as one of the late-round quarterback options (12th quarterback off the board) that makes sense to target instead of early QB selection.PositiveValueMay 29, 2026
The source calls Patrick Mahomes 'the biggest no-brainer in fantasy football' and 'the easiest profit you can generate in fantasy football.' Mahomes is trending toward being ready in week one with his full complement of wide receivers. While he will run less in 2026 (down from 422 rushing yards and 5 rushing TDs last year, over 4 PPG from rushing), his career QB finishes are QB1, QB6, QB2, QB4, QB2, QB14, and QB11. The key catalyst is Eric Bieniemy returning as offensive coordinator after Matt Nagy's departure; Bieniemy was the OC from 2018–2022. Getting a top-five to top-six fantasy quarterback at QB12 pricing represents exceptional value.PositiveValueMay 27, 2026
Patrick Mahomes is one of the most underpriced guys on the board and will be active week one as a starter. The source drafted him as a stack and emphasizes he should not be going after Jackson Dart or Trevor Lawrence in ADP, positioning him as a strong value pick who will be very good for fantasy from week one.PositiveValueNo date
Patrick Mahomes fell to round 10 in AJ Brown's home league draft, exemplifying how elite quarterbacks tend to fall in home leagues and representing value at that draft position.PositiveValueNo date
Mahomes is described as 'the most obviously good value in fantasy football at any position' with ADP outside the top 100 picks despite a career finishing record of QB 4, 11, 4, 2, 6, and 1. Mattek targets him in every draft. With Eric Bieniemy's reintroduction to the offense (Mahomes was top-5 QB every year Bieniemy was there before 2022), Xavier Worthy healthy, Rashi Rice returning, and Travis Kelce's 'one last ride,' Mattek sees no way Mahomes ends up truly disappointing, expecting him to finish QB 10–14. He also gets a lot of indoor dome games which tends to drive scoring, making him one of the best overall targets at QB for 2026.PositiveValueNo date
Mahomes is referenced as the preferred quarterback option, with Brock Purdy being a fallback value in the ninth round.
