Patrick Mahomes Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes looked impacted at times by the ankle sprain he suffered last week against the Jaguars, but he still managed to go 29-for-43 for 326 yards with a pair of touchdowns while also adding eight rushing yards, including a five-yard scamper that helped set up the game-winning field goal as the Chiefs took down the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game. Mahomes will have another two weeks now to rest up before the Super Bowl meeting with the Eagles, so expect to see him look much closer to 100% for that contest.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) looked good this week, but there is true uncertainty about how his high right ankle sprain will respond during the AFC Championship game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mahomes didn't do any sprints in practice this week and didn't go full speed at all, so the Chiefs have no idea how he'll respond in game conditions. The good news is Mahomes' ankle didn't swell up as much as expected earlier this week and he was able to practice all three days. The 27-year-old signal-caller can do things that most other players can't, but we'll see if he can be effective on a high-ankle sprain in a big game. While we'll never bet against Mahomes, fantasy managers shouldn't expect a ceiling performance in this one.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) managed to somehow practice in full all week with a right high-ankle sprain, and he's been removed from Friday's final injury report. Mahomes will suit up in the AFC Championship game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, although his mobility will certainly be limited. Expect the 27-year-old to get the ball out of his hands as quickly as possible with shorter passes, which could be good news for the likes of running back Jerick McKinnon, receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and of course tight end Travis Kelce (back). The bottom line, though, is that Mahomes' injury will keep him from being the most attractive DFS QB this weekend, limiting his upside pretty significantly.
