Who Should I Start? Patrick Mahomes or Brock Purdy

Tuesday, October 28, 12:23 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 25 of 34 pass attempts for 299 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions while adding four rushes for 30 yards in a 28-7 Monday night win over the Washington Commanders. Mahomes had a rocky first half, throwing interceptions on each of the Chiefs' first two drives, although the second one wasn't his fault as it doinked off of Travis Kelce's hands right into Bobby Wagner's lap. In the second half, the superstar quarterback put on a masterclass, continuously extending plays and finding the open man. He had only two incompletions in the second half and had a near-perfect passer rating at 154.3. Mahomes effectively distributed to his top three targets, with Rashee Rice and Kelce both going over 90 yards and scoring touchdowns, and involving Xavier Worthy for five catches and 53 yards. Kansas City's offense is in top form, and now they head on the road for an epic Week 9 showdown against the Buffalo Bills.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier that Purdy was slated to be limited on Wednesday. It sounds like this was the plan for Purdy as works his way back from a turf toe injury. An issue that sidelined him for every game besides two coming into Week 9. It's worth noting that backup quarterback Mac Jones (knee) was a full participant on Wednesday. Jones figures to draw another start versus the New York Giants this weekend, assuming Purdy is unable to play. Fantasy managers will need to wait and see what Purdy does in practice over the next few days. If active, Purdy should reclaim his starting gig and be a QB1 for this weekend.
