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.

C.J. Stroud News
Saturday, October 10, 3:06 AM
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is still trying to get his team its first victory of the season, and he is in a good spot to post solid stats this week against the Titans in Tennessee. With the run game often bogging down, Stroud has had to throw more this season, averaging 37.8 attempts per game with over 30 pass attempts in three of his four games. He have five touchdowns and no interceptions this season, while averaging 285.2 passing yards per contest. The Titans have allowed four passing touchdowns in four weeks to opposing QBs and an average of 220.5 passing yards per game. Last week, Lamar Jackson looked excellent against them in the first half before leaving with an injury. The Titans have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to QBs this season, but in a desperation game, Stroud is the No. 14 QB in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 5, making him a fringe starter in single-quarterback leagues and a very strong QB2 in dual-QB formats.
