Mahomes completed 26 of 39 passes for 217 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Falcons. He added six rushing attempts for 17 yards. Mahomes was picked off in the end zone by familiar nemesis Justin Simmons in the first quarter, marking Simmons' sixth interception against Mahomes. The star quarterback bounced back with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Rashee Rice on the next drive and added another 13-yard touchdown pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster in the third quarter. Mahomes posted another underwhelming stat line after throwing for a meager 151 yards in the previous game, but he has led the Chiefs to a 3-0 record despite his disappointing start from a statistical standpoint. He'll bring a 5:4 TD:INT into a Week 4 road game against a Chargers team that could be without starting quarterback Justin Herbert (ankle).

Another modest passing total
Mahomes completed 26 of 39 passes for 217 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Falcons. He added six rushing attempts for 17 yards. Mahomes was picked off in the end zone by familiar nemesis Justin Simmons in the first quarter, marking Simmons' sixth interception against Mahomes. The star quarterback bounced back with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Rashee Rice on the next drive and added another 13-yard touchdown pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster in the third quarter. Mahomes posted another underwhelming stat line after throwing for a meager 151 yards in the previous game, but he has led the Chiefs to a 3-0 record despite his disappointing start from a statistical standpoint. He'll bring a 5:4 TD:INT into a Week 4 road game against a Chargers team that could be without starting quarterback Justin Herbert (ankle).
Just 151 pass yards in Week 2 win
Mahomes completed 18 of 25 passes for 151 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals. He added four rushing attempts for 29 yards. Mahomes threw a perfect pass down the sideline for a 44-yard Rashee Rice touchdown in the second quarter, and he added a one-yard touchdown pass to backup left tackle Wanya Morris as the Chiefs reached into their bag of tricks in the third. Despite doing just enough to get his team to 2-0 heading into Week 3 against the Falcons thanks to a game-winning 51-yard Harrison Butker field goal on the game's final play, Mahomes has some errors to clean up. Mahomes was picked off in the first quarter and again in the third, with the latter coming soon after a would-be interception was taken off the board by a penalty. Kansas City also caught a couple bad breaks before a defensive pass interference penalty set up the game-winning field goal, as Mahomes had fourth-quarter completions of 41 yards to Travis Kelce and 21 yards to Rice erased by penalties to suppress the star quarterback's stat line.
Strong showing in Week 1 win
Mahomes completed 20 of 28 passes for 291 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Chiefs' 27-20 win over the Ravens on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for three yards and was credited with a two-yard reception of his own deflected pass. Mahomes put together a signature performance that saw him distribute the ball to seven different targets. The perennial Pro Bowler clicked most frequently with top wideout Rashee Rice, who brought in seven of Mahomes' completions for 103 yards. Mahomes' one scoring toss went to speedy first-round pick Xavier Worthy, who brought in a 35-yard dart early in the fourth quarter that gave Kansas City some valuable breathing room. Mahomes' impressive yardage total and efficiency notably came with Travis Kelce recording only three receptions and Marquise Brown missing the game with his shoulder injury, supporting the notion the two-time MVP could be in store for another prolific season. Mahomes' and the Chiefs' next assignment is a marquee Week 2 home showdown against the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 15.
Unlikely to play Thursday
Coach Andy Reid said Monday that Mahomes and other starters are unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason game against Chicago, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports. Mahomes played the first two preseason games and completed 11 of 18 passes for 120 yards, with highlights including a 37-yard completion to rookie Xavier Worthy during Saturday's loss to the Lions. Marquise Brown's health is perhaps the biggest question for Kansas City's offense ahead of a Week 1 home game against the Ravens, after the wideout suffered a sternoclavicular injury August 10. A recovery timeline of 4-6 weeks was reported shortly thereafter, putting Brown in serious doubt for the Week 1 rematch of last season's AFC Championship Game.
Strong showing in preseason game
Mahomes completed eight of 14 passes for 93 yards against Detroit on Saturday. Mahomes played the first two drives of the preseason game, with most of the Chiefs first-string offense playing with him. The absence of Marquise Brown (shoulder) allowed Mahomes to work extensively with first-round pick rookie Xavier Worthy, who drew five of Mahomes' targets (though Worthy's 22-yard touchdown would come with Carson Wentz at quarterback). Mahomes even made waves by completing a behind-the-back screen pass to Travis Kelce for eight yards. Mahomes is likely the top player in the NFL and doesn't need new tricks to dominate, but he's apparently been working on some anyway.
Scheduled for more preseason work
Mahomes and other starters are scheduled to play the first half of Saturday's preseason game against Detroit, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports. Per usual, the Chiefs are at the front of the pack when it comes to preseason playing time for starters. It's worked out more than alright for them in recent years, but fantasy managers that have already drafted Mahomes presumably aren't thrilled to see the multi-year trend continue. The expectation of considerable playing time makes KC's QB1 a viable choice for preseason DFS contests.
Plays one possession Saturday
Mahomes completed three of four passes for 27 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Chiefs' 26-13 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Saturday night. Mahomes played on the Chiefs' opening possession, which lasted seven plays and culminated in a field goal. The multi-time MVP had a pair of completions totaling 20 yards to Marquise Brown (shoulder) and Isiah Pacheco on the first two plays and connected with Travis Kelce for seven yards on his third and final completion. Mahomes and his starting offense appear to already be in solid form, and it remains to be seen if they'll log at least a quarter in next Saturday afternoon's home exhibition against the Lions.
Set to play in preseason opener
Coach Andy Reid said Mahomes and other starters will play the first quarter of Saturday's preseason game against Jacksonville, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports. Reid has long given his starters more preseason reps than most other teams do, including superstars like Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce. It'll be the first chance in a game setting for Mahomes to connect with new Chiefs wide receivers Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy.
Tosses two TDs in Frankfurt
He added 24 rushing yards on six carries. Mahomes threw for under 200 yards in a regular-season game for the first time since Week 13 of the 2021 campaign, but he was effective when he needed to be and found Rashee Rice and Jerick McKinnon for first-half TDs. After a couple disappointing performances from a fantasy perspective, Mahomes and the Kansas City offense will get a Week 10 bye to take a look under the hood and make some tweaks.
