Patrick Mahomes 2018 Outlook
The off-season trade that sent Alex Smith to Washington leaves Mahomes as the Chiefs' starting QB. The news came as no real surprise. Mahomes has been the team's quarterback of the future since the Chiefs moved up 17 spots to draft him in the first round of the 2017 draft. Mahomes only has one start under his belt, but it was a 27-24 win over the Broncos in Week 17 in which he completed 22 of 35 passes for 284 yards and one interception. Known for his rocket arm and athleticism, Mahomes will now have the entire offseason to get accustomed to his new starting role in the Chiefs' offense. As he prepared for the role, Mahomes worked with some of the Chiefs' skill-position players during the offseason. And it's a solid supporting cast with newcomer Sammy Watkins joining Kareem Hunt, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and returning four of five starters on the line. As CBSSports.com suggested, the group has the look of a formidable unit (assuming Mahomes' belief that all involved will "check their egos at the door" is correct), with the potential to reach elite status if Mahomes displays enough pocket presence and accuracy to get the most out of his immense physical gifts. Worth noting here, Mahomes and the Chiefs have the second hardest schedule for the all-important fantasy playoff period.
Patrick Mahomes 2017 Outlook
Although he's all but certain to work behind Alex Smith this season, Mahomes might be the most interesting player in this year's rookie QB crop. As NFL.com put it, he's a "gunslinger with an extraordinary combination of athleticism and arm talent. Mahomes is a sandlot player with the arm strength to make every conceivable hero throw imaginable from a balanced or off-platform setup." Although his unorthodox style will drive some offensive coordinators crazy, his natural talents give him tremendous play-making ability and he has the ideal coach in Andy Reid. So even though Smith has compiled one of the best records in football over the previous four years, the excitement around Mahomes is undeniable. And NFL.com's Conor Orr suggests it also has to be exciting for Reid personally. This is the most talented rookie quarterback he's gotten the chance to work with since Donovan McNabb. For a coach that has been immersed in (and fascinated with) the position for most of his career, it's difficult not to consider the Mahomes project a personal one for Reid. And that will be good news for Dynasty owners who invest in the newcomer.
