Patrick Mahomes Fantasy

The Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes are both committed to getting a long-term extension done this offseason in order to try and build a dynasty in KC, and there's no question that Mahomes will become the highest-paid player in the NFL when that happens. He'll be in line to make an average salary of over $35 million per season. But the Chiefs will be mindful of how Mahomes' contract will affect the rest of the roster, and the most likely timetable that they get an extension with Mahomes done will be sometime after the draft. The 24-year-old just completed his third NFL season and has already won an MVP and a Super Bowl MVP. He's the real deal and will be the first QB off the board in fantasy drafts in 2020.

Kansas City Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said the team could wait until next year to sign quarterback Patrick Mahomes to a long-term contract extension. "I don't want to say necessarily it has to be this offseason, but I will say that it's a priority to get him done," Hunt said. A first-round pick in 2017, Mahomes is eligible for a contract extension now that he's finished his third year in the NFL, but it sounds like the Chiefs aren't exactly in a hurry to get something done. The 24-year-old didn't post the gaudy numbers he had in 2018 -- 5,097 yards, 50 touchdowns -- but he was still more than adequate with 4,031 yards, 26 touchdowns and only five interceptions in 14 games. Mahomes is an elite signal-caller with exceptional athleticism with both his arm and legs. He's here to stay as a high-end QB1 and will take on the 49ers in the Super Bowl this Sunday.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was phenomenal in the AFC Championship game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. He completed 23 of 35 passing attempts for 294 yards and three touchdowns. Mahomes also had eight rushing attempts for 53 yards and a touchdown. It was a fantastic performance for Mahomes and DFS players who stuck with him despite the high price are smiling now. The Chiefs are heading to the Super Bowl for the first time in 50 years.
