What’s next
Mahomes will face the Broncos in Week 8, according to RotoBaller.
🏈 Fantasy impact
Mahomes has now thrown for zero touchdowns in two straight games without Rashee Rice. The Chiefs’ offense scored just three points against Seattle, and Mahomes failed to reach the red zone. In Week 7, he had 165 passing yards, zero touchdowns and one interception. Mahomes is still a QB1 for Week 8, but the potential return of Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II could lower his ceiling. Justin Fields is not a fantasy option unless Mahomes misses time.
