Latest news

  • Mahomes (elbow) was a full practice participant throughout the week and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

    Mahomes made a quick return to last week's game after he was injured, and he'll make the start this Sunday against a Falcons defense that just lost safety Jessie Bates (traded to Jacksonville). The Chiefs, meanwhile, traded for wide receiver Josh Downs, who is expected to play Sunday, per coach Andy Reid. Starting right tackle Jaylon Moore (ankle) is ruled out, and running back Kenneth Walker (groin) is listed as questionable. The Chiefs may need more from Mahomes if Walker ends up inactive or limited.

  • Mahomes (elbow/knee) has had "limited swelling" and "limited pain" in his right (throwing) elbow in recent days, and he is in line to start Sunday's game against the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports.

    Mahomes, who played through what Rapoport described as an "elbow strain" during the Chiefs' Week 9 win over the Jets, had an MRI that checked out fine and has practiced fully this week. As a result, he's slated to continue to helm a Kansas City passing attack that was bolstered by the trade deadline acquisition of Josh Downs, who will supplement a WR corps that also includes Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy.

  • Mahomes (right elbow/knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    As were Rashee Rice (knee) as well as Xavier Worthy (hamstring), and with Chiefs having added Josh Downs (who is not on the injury report) via a trade with the Colts, the team heads into Sunday's game against the Falcons with its franchise QB and top three WRs presumably available for Week 10 action. Mahomes clearly endured some elbow discomfort during the Chiefs' Week 9 win over the Jets, but the issue is something he'll continue to play through.

  • Chiefs coach Andy Reid said that he expects full practice participation by Mahomes (elbow) on Wednesday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

    Mahomes played through some elbow discomfort during the Chiefs' Week 9 win over the Jets, but Reid indicated Monday that the star QB was considered day-to-day as this Sunday's game against the Falcons approaches, per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star. Assuming Mahomes indeed logs a full session Wednesday, he'll be in line to play this weekend, and if so, will be working with a WR corps bolstered by Tuesday's trade deadline acquisition of Josh Downs from the Colts.

  • Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday that Mahomes (elbow) is considered day-to-day as this Sunday's game against the Falcons approaches, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Mahomes emerged from Week 9 action with what Ian Rapoport of NFL Network described earlier Monday as an elbow "strain/sprain" to his throwing arm following an MRI on Sunday. For his part, Reid also noted with regard to the star QB's exam results that "it was more positive news than negative news. It looks like it's just a matter of rehabbing and getting rid of some of the soreness." As a result, look for Mahomes' practice participation to be managed this week, which could lead to his top backup Justin Fields logging some added reps in the coming days.

  • Mahomes was diagnosed with an "elbow strain/sprain" on his throwing arm following an MRI on Sunday, and he'll "continue to be monitored" leading up to the Chiefs' Week 10 game in Atlanta, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Though his MRI didn't reveal any major injury, Mahomes could have his practice activity managed carefully in Week 10 while he tends to the elbow issue. Mahomes sustained the right elbow injury at the two-minute mark in the second quarter Sunday, when the Jets' David Bailey took him down on a strip-sack. The Chiefs recovered the fumble, and after tossing a few warmup passes, Mahomes was able to stay in the game and finished with 23 completions on 31 attempts for 242 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-12 victory.

“Value” is market slot minus our slot: positive means the market lets you draft him later than our blend ranks him. Ranks blend our projection model with ADP at backtested weights, the receipts are on methodology.

Trade value: what to ask for Patrick

Our board has Patrick Mahomes at QB10, #105 overall in PPR, and the market drafts him at ADP 104.3 (QB14). The market undervalues him by about 4 picks, so do not sell at his ADP price. Ask for a player ranked around #105 on our board, not around his ADP. He projects to 289.9 points (floor 192.8, ceiling 353.2).

QBs in that range on our board right now: Trevor Lawrence (#92, JAX), Jared Goff (#103, DET), Justin Herbert (#104, LAC), Bo Nix (#113, DEN), Jaxson Dart (#118, NYG).
