Who Should I Start? Patrick Mahomes or Brock Purdy

Saturday, November 1, 4:29 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 9. Mahomes continued his dominant run in last week's contest against the Washington Commanders. The Chiefs quarterback completed 25 of 34 pass attempts (74%) for 299 yards and three touchdowns in the 28-7 victory. Mahomes has now completed at least 70% of his passes in four straight games. The 30-year-old will now face the Bills, who allow the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. That said, the Kansas City offense has been rolling, and they face the fourth-highest scoring team in the league on a points-per-game basis. Mahomes can have a ceiling performance in a matchup with the second-highest Over/Under of the week. Mahomes is ranked QB1 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a must-start player this week

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones will make another start on Sunday in Week 9 versus the New York Giants, but Brock Purdy (toe) could be available to play, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Purdy is officially listed as questionable. The 49ers are not comfortable starting Purdy under center since he has yet to practice in full since aggravating his turf-toe injury in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the 25-year-old has made enough progress that he could actually be active this weekend as an emergency option. It's a good sign that Purdy will be ready to start again in Week 10 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, barring a setback during practice next week. Jones has done a commendable job running San Fran's offense this year with Purdy injured, but there's no debate that Purdy will take over the starting job again when he's cleared to start. Jones will only be worth streaming in two-QB superflex leagues against the G-Men this weekend.
