Patrick Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes completed 28-of-41 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown in Kansas City’s 27-19, Week 16 win over the Texans.

He added a 15-yard rushing touchdown as part of a 5/33/1 rushing line. So much for that high-ankle sprain! Kansas City’s receivers continued to have issues with holding on to open throws, most notably when Justin Watson got his hand on what would have been a sure touchdown in the second quarter. There also remains quite a bit of miscommunication in the Kansas City passing attack. Mahomes kept churning the Chiefs down the field though, converting 7-of-13 third downs and making sure the line was just unmemorable enough to be only moderately fantasy useful. The Steelers will be another test of the Kansas City offensive line in Week 17, and Mahomes will be on the QB1 borderline against Pittsburgh.
