Patrick Mahomes Itching To Get Explosive Passing Game Back

Wednesday, April 23, 3:09 PM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes hit the NFL by storm early in his career with his deep-passing skills and explosive plays. However, the Chiefs' offense ranked 27th in 20-plus-yard plays in 2024. Since Tyreek Hill departed to Miami and Travis Kelce has taken a step back, its offense has not connected on splash plays as often. Heading into next season, Mahomes is aiming to incorporate big plays back into the offense. "We've had a lot of turnover in the receiving room, and it seems like the core group will be back in its entirety." Mahomes said." So the goal is to try to build on it and get even better and try to get back to some of the explosive passing plays that we've done in years past." With all-world speedster Xavier Worthy heading into Year 2 and a potential full season of Marquise Brown, the ceiling is high for Kansas City's passing attack in 2025. Mahomes has not been a fantasy football game-changer over the last two seasons, but a more dangerous offensive attack could put him back in the high-end QB1 range.

Kyler Murray Says He Wants To Run More

Wednesday, April 9, 1:13 PM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray said that he feels like he needs to run more in 2025 and is open to running more next season. "It's such a weapon," Murray said. The 27-year-old two-time Pro Bowler and former Offensive Rookie of the Year ran the ball 78 times for 572 yards (7.3 yards per carry) and five touchdowns in 17 starts in 2024. His 572 rushing yards ranked fourth in the league behind Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels and Jalen Hurts, with his five TDs tying him for sixth-most in the NFL. As a passer, Murray completed 68.8% of his 541 pass attempts for 3,851 yards, 21 touchdowns and 11 touchdowns. Overall, he finished as the QB10 in fantasy scoring, and his elite rushing ability should continue to give him a high floor as a low-end QB1. If he makes good on his promise to run more in 2025, he could end up being even more of a value pick at the position in fantasy drafts this fall.
