Mahomes owners, what are you all doing this weekend? I’m half tempted to sit him this week and start Tannehill (still haven’t decided). With the addition of Bell and the fact they are playing the Jets, I could easily see KC running the ball all game and getting so far ahead that they sit Mahomes at some point in the second half.
anyone else considering sitting Mahomes this week?

I thought about it, but given that he'll probably already have put in a full game of stats by the time we no longer see him, I decided against it. He may very well be just handing the ball off all the time to Bell, but the Jets have squared up against the run decently this year. (Though they are getting rid of defensive players and may not be as stout in the personnel department.) Plus, in the two leagues I have Mahomes I have only Newton and Lock backing him up (in dynasty) and Carr (in one redraft), so there's that to consider. Tannehill is a little different kind of a choice.

if Jets commit to slow down the run game.....Mahomes could easily have one of those 3-4 pass TD type games no matter how long he plays...Chiefs are still going to work on things, keep improving....good time to try and get the big play game going a little early as they should win......they haven't been as explosive as in the past, so they may try to crank it up a little....Andy Reid isn't the kind of guy to really rub people's nose in it even though they score a ton of points, so there is some concern, but the Jets gave BUF all they could handle.....these are the kind of matchups you normally look at and start salivating as a fantasy owner....thinking about sitting your guy in one of the best matchups might be over thinking it....
As an owner of Mahomes, CEH and Bell, I'm just not buying into the revenge game theory. Reid's going to makes the calls he needs to make with the end game in mind- another ring. Bell will get some, but I'm not buying the idea that CEH and the passing game will be pushed aside to satisfy a guy who's been on the team for 2 weeks.

I wasn’t saying it was a revenge game and Andy would change his play calling but what I was saying is that with Bell AND CEH they now have two credible rushers. I’m could easily see KC jumping out to a lead and Andy abandoning the passing game and feeding his two rushers and pounding the ball down their throats. If they get enough of a lead and the run game is successful, Mahomes could be done in the early 3rd quarter.

lol. Some people were worried he’d be benched by halftime, should they start him or bench him for a lesser guy with a better matchup?
Start your studs folks. 5 TDs and 40+ fantasy points so far with a bunch of time left.

Mahomes just told reporters he is cleared for Sunday.

Reading the scouting reports on his effectiveness is hilarious. Play zone? He reads it and will shred you. Blitz? He's at his most effective against the blitz, light years better than any other QB. Sit in cover two deep? He'll go underneath. One high? Hill for the touchdown.
Sunday is going to be tough for Tampa. Better hope KC decides they'll just run the football into your front seven. Which they won't. Almost ever.
Hope Brady can keep up or that the DL can somehow get to him.

Yea he’s awesome against the blitz. Bucs best hope is Vea/Suh/JPP and Shaq collapse the pocket and you can keep 7 back in coverage. The Bucs have the defensive talent to do it, but they’re going to have to harass him and hit him a lot. Teams have put the brakes on the Chiefs offense this year though, it’s not impossible, but they’re obviously very good.

I'm know you're right because I watched them all year along with Jacksonville (of all teams) for fantasy purposes. Can't really remember the game or scheme that did it, but they got bogged down occasionally because -- I think -- they weren't really effective running the ball and teams dropped seven or eight even into coverage, too. That's sounding like the way to do it. We'll see. The sideline statue (Bowles) loves his uneven blitzes, that's for sure.
Jets fan here. I watched that for a few years.

Lol yea he’s a good DC. Heard and things about him as an HC though but I’m happy to have him.
Bucs are already the best team against the run and with Vea back they should be better. We’ll see. I’m confident but not stupid. We can definitely get slaughtered by this guy.

Toe hobbles.here with go with the excuses. Mahomes sucked.why can't you just say it.2 picks. barely 100 yards deep into the 3rd Quarter. he sucked. maybe that's the reason why Bienemey doesn't get a HC job??? maybe he sucks in interviews? maybe he's just not as good as ,say, Leftwhich??
