Patrick Mahomes II

After averaging 37.4 pass attempts per game in his career before this season, Patrick Mahomes has only attempted 53 total passes through two weeks. Expect that number to regress toward career norms in a Week 3 meeting with the Atlanta Falcons. With the Chiefs having placed running back Isiah Pacheco on Injured Reserve, they will likely rely on Mahomes and his arm to lead them to victory. Atlanta has allowed opposing signal-callers to complete 75.7 percent of passes against them. Mahomes has a career 71.3-percent completion percentage and 14-0 TD-INT ratio indoors during the regular season. Fire up Mahomes as a high-volume QB1 in this matchup.

Patrick Mahomes II completed 18-of-25 passing attempts for 151 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fantasy Impact

Mahomes and the Chiefs were able to pick up a win over the Bengals on Sunday, but it was a bumpy ride getting there. He threw two interceptions and had a couple more that got called back, and he was held to just 151 passing yards on the day as well. Expect him to bounce back sometime within the next couple of weeks.
