Alright, guys, let’s talk some fantasy football. Today’s hot topic: Patrick Mahomes. Should we play him tonight or not? I’ve been digging into this all day, and here’s what I’ve found.
So, first off, I checked the news. Turns out, Mahomes isn’t even playing today against the Broncos. Yep, you heard that right. The head coach decided to rest him. Makes sense, considering the playoffs are coming up. I guess it’s a good move for the Chiefs, giving Mahomes a break to recharge before the big games. This means Gabbert will start and direct the team. He is a good quarterback, I think so. So I immediately took out Mahomes from my fantasy lineup, and this makes me a little upset.
Now, I started looking back at Mahomes’ recent performances. Honestly, it’s been a bit of a letdown. In the past few weeks, he hasn’t scored over 20 fantasy points in any game. He has not been doing great. And he’s only averaging around 14.8 points per game in PPR leagues. Not exactly what you’d expect from a top-tier QB, right? I was hoping for more but to no avail. I really want him to prove himself but he has not been doing well recently. I am not quite satisfied with what I am seeing.
Then, I stumbled upon some trade rumors. Some folks are even considering trading Mahomes away! Crazy, I know. But given his recent slump, I can see why some fantasy managers are getting nervous. I mean, fantasy football is all about winning, and if Mahomes isn’t delivering, it’s tempting to look elsewhere. But I think we can still trust him in the coming future. He is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL, and we just need to wait until he is back. His break is until January 18 or 19 so we just have to wait a little bit more.
Since Mahomes is sitting this one out, I decided to check out who might be a good replacement. I saw that Carson Wentz will be directing the offense for the Chiefs in Week 18. If you’re in a Week 18 championship or playing daily fantasy sports, he might be an option. I haven’t looked too deep into his stats yet, but it’s something I’ll be considering. I would consider this option as I am also playing daily fantasy sports. I need to find a temporary replacement until Mahomes is back from his rest.
So, there you have it. My deep dive into the Mahomes situation. It’s a tough call, but based on the news and his recent performance, I decided not to play him tonight. I’m keeping him on my bench for now and hoping he comes back strong in the playoffs. But hey, that’s just my take. What do you guys think? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
