Patrick Mahomes 2022 Outlook: Finally Overvalued In Fantasy
3 years agoKansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has caused many late-round quarterback drafters to reevaluate their strategy since he first lit the league on fire in 2018. The 26-year-old's performance has not only ranked among the leaders at his position but has provided week-winning upside with a low bust rate in his four years as a starter. He has failed to throw for 300 yards or multiple touchdowns in only 10 of his 61 games since assuming the starting role, five of which came during a slump last year. Over those four years, he has finished as the QB1, QB7, QB4, and QB4, with the QB7 finish in 2019 resulting from two and a half missed games and culminating in a Super Bowl win. The question for Mahomes is how he and the offense will function with the departure of wide receiver Tyreek Hill to Miami, and the additions of wide receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and rookie Skyy Moore. Travis Kelce remains a stalwart at tight end but will be turning 33. All of these question marks make it difficult to warrant Mahomes' ADP just inside the top 50 as the QB2, especially with so much value at the position.
