Patrick Mahomes News
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.

Brock Purdy News
Saturday, October 10, 1:19 AM
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's early bid for the league MVP will face its stiffest challenge of the season when he faces off against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle has yet to allow 200 passing yards in a game and has racked up six interceptions in their first four games of 2026. Purdy's success has been driven by efficient, clean quarterbacking. His only turnover this year was an interception thrown in Week 1, he has a 70% completion rate, and has yet to be sacked. Purdy hasn't thrown for a ton of yards (his 1,007 passing yards rank 12th in the league), but has scored multiple touchdowns in every game this year. Wide receiver Mike Evans (ribs) was limited in practice this week, but he was a leading receiver despite playing hurt last week. As usual, Purdy will also have George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey, and Deebo Samuel Sr. to turn to as well. Despite facing one of the NFL's more intimidating defenses, Purdy has top-12 potential and can be started in Week 5.
