Quarterback
Patrick Mahomes: Mahomes has made a couple of real-football mistakes the past two games that may have aided the losses the Chiefs had, but for fantasy. Mahomes has opened the season as the QB2 (33.3 points), QB8 (24 points), and the QB7 (22.9 points).
The Chargers did what we expected and played two-high shell coverage all game, but they also got home with four, a cocktail that allowed them to hold Mahomes to 5.9 yards per pass attempt. Mahomes was pressured on 42% of his dropbacks despite the Chargers not blitzing on a single dropback per Pro Football Focus.
The Chiefs can expect another zone-based approach that will not send extra defenders here against the Eagles. The Eagles have blitzed on a league-low 5.1% of the time. League average is 24.8%. Playing so much zone, the Eagles are allowing a 70.3% completion rate (24th), but are seventh in yards allowed per pass attempt (6.5 yards) and second in yards allowed per completion (9.2 yards).
They also faced Matt Ryan and Jimmy Garoppolo in two of those games. They limited those two passers to 5.4 yards per pass attempt, but allowed 9.2 Y/A and three passing touchdowns to Dak Prescott on Monday night this past week.
