Patrick Mahomes Viewed as Day-to-Day

Monday, November 9, 8:38 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (elbow) is viewed as day-to-day after a scary-looking hit to his throwing arm had fantasy managers briefly holding their collective breath during the team's Week 9 win over the Jets. Mahomes left the field in obvious discomfort and was seen testing his elbow on the sideline, but ultimately completed the game, finishing the day with 242 passing yards and two touchdowns. While he does not appear to be in jeopardy of missing the Chiefs' Week 10 matchup with the Falcons, Mahomes' status will need to be monitored. If he is able to play without limitation, the current fantasy QB14 makes for a strong start against an Atlanta defense that allowed Joe Burrow to finish as the QB3 in Week 9 and recently traded away Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates.

Josh Allen Goes Up Against Vaunted Vikings Defense

Sunday, November 8, 4:32 AM

Bills quarterback Josh Allen is RotoBaller's No. 2-ranked quarterback as Buffalo takes on the aggressive Minnesota Vikings defense on Monday night. The Vikings are blitzing opposing quarterbacks at an incredibly high rate this season, with their blitz percentage sitting at 73.1%, according to Next Gen Stats. Expect Allen, who has been sacked just 13 times this season, to be under duress early and often against Minnesota. How he handles the blitz will be a deciding factor in Monday's contest. Allen has completed 65.7% of his passes against the blitz this season, but he has been intercepted three times while throwing three touchdowns when opposing defenses bring extra pressure. Allen is projected to score 21 fantasy points against the Vikings.
