Welcome back to the lineup, Mahomes. Lucky to have survived with Fitzpatrick while you were gone.

Playing Winston over Mahomes, want to see him in action one week before I start him. Has a Bye coming up as well then a very tough part of the schedule.
If your league allows trades this late, not a bad idea to shop him right now while the coast is clear.

I have Brees and Winston in a good money 8 team league. It’s cutthroat but a lot of fun and quite competitive. I just traded Mahomes and Sutton straight up for Micheal Thomas. Seems like a lot but I don’t think I lose much with brees or Winston and now I get what should be a big upgrade at WR.

You're absolutely right but the knee dislocation really shook me when I watched it on live TV. I thought for sure he would be done for the year, I'm shocked my QB decision to start Winston didn't cost me a win this week but I'll happily re-insert Mahomes. Many forget that he had not produced like this since Week 3. He had a bum ankle and most of his point totals from Week 4 until yesterday were just middle of the road.bicycle_seat_sniffer said:

Unfortunately I need a monster game tonight to pull out a win this week. Lets goooooooo.

I am thinking of trading Mahomes to fill other spots down the stretch. Oakland is allowing the 3rd most points to the QB position which is great, but in the playoffs KC is @NE (1st vs QBs), vs Den (4), and @Chi (6). All 3 also have at least the potential for cold/bad weather.
I think his ceiling will be limited in the FF playoffs and I think I am a seller, mainly because I still have holes elsewhere.
Willing to be talked out of this.

I tried to sell and nobody wanted to pay the price I was asking. I obviously wanted a lot, thought someone would bite. They did not so I kept him and hoping he can do what he's known for doing.

Not to mention unknown severity of Tyreek Hill hammy injury.

My season has really hinged on getting the Week 14 bye simply because of the NE matchup and Mahomes. I’m in solid position to get it though which is why I haven’t.
DEN/CHI don’t scare me...he was picking DEN apart before the knee injury and both offenses struggle to maintain offense. Plus, by week 15/16, I can see some ‘checkouts’ from a disappointing season perspective on both those teams.
The weather can be a dice roll for sure...but I suspect that you won’t get the return for Mahomes you’re looking for and I feel good enough about 15/16 to stick with the guy.

Den and Chi just feel like slow games where KC wont have to score much to win. IDK.. probably one of those things I will regret cause I love owning him but he's one of my few remaining tradeable assets.

While that may have been the case in previous years, when somebody mentions the name Patrick Mahomes, I don't think that is what immediately comes to mind.
TheDirtyWord

Possible, but I also think KC is in a situation where style points matter a bit. And given DEN/CHI’s inability to control game pace, I figure it’ll be up to KC how they attack - the games Mahomes has been ‘meh’. (DET, IND, HOU, LAC), KC only averaged 24:30 in ToP.

Once again Mahommes comes up small in the ff playoffs. Borderline qb2. Waikley better options on the waiver wire

I'm sure it's because he has an inherent genetic weakness that chronically makes him play worse during weeks 14-16 of the regular season and not at all a random quirk of the stats in a small sample size.

It's definitely not because he was playing a great defense and the GOAT coach on the road in December.

It’s pretty much a given that if you draft him .....you play him....if you want to try and get cute and play a match up over him and you think you can do that with a dude off the WW....more power to you.....pretty much all the experts have him in the top 5 every week no matter the match up....tough to sit him unless you have another top 5 option which most don't....

this always happens with these kinda of QBs. idk why people get so surprised. sell high on Lamar Jackson while/if you can
ConnSKINS26

Can't tell if you're being serious or playing into the stereotype joke. Mahomes isn't even a running QB.
And who would the top remaining fantasy QBs even be if you sold Mahomes and all the running QBs? Lamar, Watson, Russ, and Murray for rebuilds pretty much round out the rest of the top 5.

Mahomes has been very banged up this year, ankle sprain, knee cap dislocation, etc....the oline in front of him has been a mash unit as well. Kelce seems off, maybe getting old? And how many games did Mahomes and tyreek play together.
Love the kid, love the talent, but heck even I stated you can do better this past week1 of the playoffs, and you could have.
at home vs Denver week15? must start

I think you started the start over him thread,,,,but you probably didn’t.....who did you snag off the ww

I’m considering this exact same move. Haven’t been able to pull the trigger yet, still have Mahomes in my starting lineup.
