Patrick Mahomes News
Friday, October 23, 11:49 AM
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the Seattle Seahawks on the road in Week 7. The veteran QB had a relatively easy afternoon against the Los Angeles Chargers defense last week, completing 77% of his passes for 272 yards and an interception. Mahomes walked away with zero touchdowns on the day, but the Chiefs still won the game handily on the back of another impressive performance from running back Kenneth Walker. Mahomes should have a significantly tougher time finding success on the road against a stout Seattle defense. The Seahawks defense is easily a top-five unit in the league, and it's especially tough against quarterbacks. The Chiefs superstar will not only have to contend with a stellar defense but also a depleted receiver room. Mahomes is ranked QB16 in our RotoBaller Week 7 rankings, making him a lower tier option than he is most weeks. Fantasy managers should still plan on starting Mahomes this week but temper expectations against one of the better defenses in the NFL.

C.J. Stroud News
Saturday, October 24, 3:00 AM
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had a great game in London last week and led his team to a second straight win away from Reliant Stadium. This week, he'll look to lead his team to another win as they come home to face the Giants. In last week's win over the Jaguars, Stroud threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns, giving him nine passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown to go with only one interception. He is averaging 285.7 passing yards per game and attempting an average of 36.5 passes per game. Stroud has a favorable matchup against the Giants, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to QBs this season, giving Stroud a very high ceiling in Week 7, especially with Marvin Harrison Jr. more incorporated into the game plan and Tank Dell (knee) possibly returning. Stroud is the No. 9 QB in RotoBaller's rankings this week, marking the first time he has moved into the top 10 this season. He's a borderline QB starter even in single-QB formats this week and a must-start in two-QB leagues.
