Patrick Mahomes Off Injury Report, Ready For AFC West Matchup

Friday, October 2, 11:11 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 4. Mahomes was again listed on the injury report with a knee injury but practiced fully every day and has since been removed. Mahomes is coming off a good performance in last week's 24-10 win over the Miami Dolphins. The veteran QB completed 20 of 24 pass attempts (83.3%) for 246 yards and two touchdowns. Mahomes also threw an interception, but it was largely the fault of his receiver, Rashee Rice, who fell and tipped the ball up for defenders to catch. The Dolphins did not put up much of a fight, so Mahomes basically cruised to victory. Things may not be so smooth for the Chiefs offense this Sunday against the Raiders. The Raiders defense has surprisingly been one of the better units to start the season, so Mahomes will have his work cut out for him. This weekend's matchup is also a divisional matchup between two undefeated teams, so expect both squads to be fired up on Sunday. Mahomes has been playing excellent football, and his play has vaulted him back into QB1 discussions. Mahomes is ranked QB3 in our RotoBaller Week 4 rankings, making him a must-start player at his position this week.

Anthony Richardson Sr. News

Anthony Richardson Sr. Will be Colts' Backup QB

Thursday, September 3, 8:00 AM

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced on Thursday that Anthony Richardson Sr. will be the team's No. 2 quarterback behind starter Daniel Jones to start the 2026 season, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. Richardson requested a trade in the offseason, but the Colts did not end up moving him, and he will open the 2026 campaign as the direct backup to Jones, who is coming off a torn Achilles tendon late last season. The 24-year-old Richardson, the former fourth overall pick in 2023 from the University of Florida, beat out Riley Leonard for the QB2 job in training camp and the preseason. Richardson's rushing abilities are elite, but he has been injury-prone early in his career and has not developed as a passer the way the Colts hoped he would. Through 17 games (15 starts), Richardson posted a 50.6% completion percentage with 2,400 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. He added 115 carries for 634 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground. While the 24-year-old's dynasty/keeper value has plummeted, he could quickly become attractive again for his rushing prowess if Jones goes down with another injury in 2026.
