Kansas City Re-Works Patrick Mahomes' Contract

Wednesday, March 12, 9:12 AM

According to ESPN's Field Yates, the Kansas City Chiefs have restructured quarterback Patrick Mahomes' contract, effectively freeing up cap space to sign recent free-agent acquisitions. Per Yates, the Chiefs also tweaked defensive tackle Chris Jones' contract, adding $49.446 million to their 2025 salary cap. This smart move allowed Kansas City to comfortably sign defensive back Kristian Fulton and offensive tackle Jaylon Moore and should afford them some cushion to pursue others. The Chiefs fell shy of repeating their Super Bowl success for the third straight season, but they'll continue to retool their roster in an effort to get back to the big game this upcoming year. Despite Mahomes' on-field success, it hasn't correlated to fantasy lineups over the last few years. In 2024, the Texas Tech product set a career low with 3,928 passing yards while matching the lowest passing TD figure of his eight-year career (26) and tossed double-digit interceptions for the fourth-straight season.

Baker Mayfield Has Low Passing Volume In Loss

Monday, January 13, 12:10 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 15 of 18 pass attempts for 185 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's playoff loss to the Washington Commanders. He also took one sack and rushed for 23 yards. It was an uncharacteristically quiet showing for Mayfield, who hadn't completed fewer than 18 passes since Week 2 of the regular season. With that said, fantasy managers and bettors have to be pleased with his high completion rate and overall clean performance as he didn't turn the ball over. Mayfield finished the 2024 campaign with the NFC's most passing touchdowns, but he also led the whole league in interceptions. His high passing output keeps him in the mid-range QB1 conversation for 2025 fantasy football.
