Patrick Mahomes News
Friday, November 6, 10:59 AM
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was listed on the injury report with the same knee injury he's been rehabbing since the offseason, but participated fully in practice all week and is good to go for Week 9. Mahomes and the Chiefs are coming off back-to-back losses against two of the best defenses in the NFL. Mahomes passed for 321 yards and three touchdowns in the 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 8. The veteran QB bounced back from an individual standpoint, but the team was not able to pull off the win. Mahomes will look to turn that around against the New York Jets at home this week. The Jets have been middle-of-the-pack against opposing quarterbacks, so Mahomes should have no issues completing passes against them. Mahomes will be looking to put the team back in the win column and probably will have to score a bunch to do that because the Jets offense is much improved this season. Mahomes is ranked QB8 in our RotoBaller Week 9 rankings, making him a low-end QB1 option this week. Fantasy managers should start Mahomes in what should be a soft matchup.

C.J. Stroud News
Saturday, November 7, 4:02 AM
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has thrown 11 touchdowns and just one interception in his seven games this season, but his team went just 2-5 before a Week 8 bye. The offensive line has been inconsistent this season, without much success in the running game, leaving Stroud to air it out quite a bit this season. However, the 0-7 Chargers have actually been solid at pass defense, allowing the seventh-fewest passing yards per game and giving up only eight passing touchdowns in seven games. While it isn't a great matchup, Stroud is still a viable fantasy option in two-QB or deep formats. He is RotoBaller's QB16 this week and will look to keep the Chargers winless with a strong road showing on Sunday.
