Patrick Mahomes Totals Two Touchdowns in Solid Week 1 Showing

Saturday, September 6, 12:14 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 24 of his 39 pass attempts for 258 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He also added 57 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. While the Chiefs came up short in Brazil, Mahomes still had a solid fantasy showing. Specifically, he played turnover-free football and was able to make things happen both on the ground and through the air. He'll drop to the low-end QB1 range heading into next week's clash with the Philadelphia Eagles, who just limited Dak Prescott to 188 passing yards.

Bryce Young Draws Praise From Adam Thielen

Tuesday, September 2, 1:35 AM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young received a vote of confidence from wide receiver Adam Thielen after the veteran pass-catcher was traded to the Minnesota Vikings last week. "He's a great quarterback," Thielen said of Young. "You saw that at the end of last year." He also proceeded to commend Young for overcoming periodic struggles last season and returning to inject some life into the Panthers' offense near the end of the year. If that carries over into 2025, Young has the potential to be a mid-range fantasy QB2 while the Panthers could sneak into the Wild Card conversation.
