Analysis

Mahomes threw a pair of interceptions that proved to be costly in Sunday's marquee matchup between superstar quarterbacks. While Josh Allen got the win for his club, Mahomes provided fantasy managers with his second game with three touchdown passes over the Chiefs' last three contests. In addition to this game representing Kansas City's first loss of the season, it was also Mahomes' first appearance in 2024 without recording a rushing attempt. No longer undefeated, Mahomes and the Chiefs should be locked in for a soft matchup against Carolina next Sunday.

Analysis

Mahomes took four sacks from the aggressive Broncos defense, but he was able to do just enough to give his team a chance to preserve its undefeated mark. The two-time MVP focused a significant deal of attention on Kareem Hunt and Travis Kelce -- the latter of whom was on the receiving end of Mahomes' only touchdown -- as Denver forced plenty of short and intermediate throws, but he still found his way to his third straight 260-plus-yard total. Mahomes and the Chiefs' quest to get to 10-0 intersects with the Bills in a Week 11 road showdown next Sunday.

Analysis

Mahomes had a bit of a scare in Monday's 30-24 overtime win over the Buccaneers, as he appeared to roll his left ankle during his second touchdown pass of the game early in the fourth quarter. Though he required assistance off the field, Mahomes was able to return for the Chiefs' next possession and didn't wind up missing any snaps on the night, despite having to play through some pain the rest of the way. With further evaluation after the game apparently turning up nothing concerning, Mahomes doesn't look as though he'll face any limitations heading into the Chiefs' Week 10 game against the Broncos on Sunday.

Analysis

Mahomes rolled his left ankle while completing a shovel pass for his second passing touchdown of the evening, promptly visiting the medical tent while his teammates celebrated the score. Luckily, the durable signal-caller showed his toughness yet again, returning to the game without missing a play in a successful effort to finish off the Buccaneers in overtime. With a short week ahead, fantasy managers should monitor Mahomes' practice participation ahead of a Week 10 matchup against the Broncos.

Analysis

Mahomes got back on track after failing to throw a touchdown in consecutive games. The star quarterback threw a pair of touchdowns for the first time since Week 3 against Atlanta, giving fantasy managers something to hang their hats on as we approach the middle of the fantasy season. Head coach Andy Reid stated after the win that Mahomes had his ankle rolled up on but indicated that the quarterback was and will be okay moving forward, Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports reports. Mahomes could be in store for another healthy stat line as the Chiefs prepare for a potential shootout against the Buccaneers next Monday.

Analysis

Mahomes produced his worst passing performance through six games this season, but he salvaged his fantasy day by generating his best rushing line against San Francisco in a rematch of last year's Super Bowl. The deceptively fast quarterback performed a ball fake on a scramble that allowed him to split three defenders for 33 yards. Mahomes finished off that same drive by trucking the only defender that stood between him and the end zone for his first rushing touchdown of the season. The Chiefs remain undefeated heading into a soft road matchup against the Raiders next Sunday.

Analysis

Despite being down yet another key skill-position player in Rashee Rice (IR, knee), Mahomes was in top form against a Saints defense that had made life mostly miserable for opposing quarterbacks heading into Monday night's contest. The two-time MVP seamlessly adapted to his circumstances by primarily concentrating his attention on the ever reliable Travis Kelce and complementary wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster, with whom he connected for a combined 16 completions and 200 yards on 18 total targets. Mahomes also made good use of other little-used pass catchers such as Mecole Hardman and Noah Gray, and the season-high yardage total he compiled was made all the more remarkable by the fact he connected with rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy, who entered the night as the de facto No. 1 receiver, on only three occasions for 25 yards. Mahomes and the Chiefs head into a Week 6 bye before a road showdown and Super Bowl rematch with the 49ers on Sunday, Oct. 20.

Analysis

Mahomes showed impressive efficiency by averaging 8.5 yards per attempt, though it didn't lead to a strong fantasy showing. The latter is understandable given that the Chiefs lost another key pass catcher after Rashee Rice (knee) went down, leaving Travis Kelce and rookie Xavier Worthy as Mahomes' top two targets. The highlight of his performance came late in the second quarter when he found Worthy for a 54-yard touchdown. With Rice and Hollywood Brown (shoulder) both sidelined for the long term, it may be difficult for Mahomes to turn in his typical fantasy performances on a regular basis.

Analysis

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).
