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.

Malik Willis News
Tuesday, October 6, 1:19 PM
The last fantasy performance from Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis may convince fantasy managers in 2QB and superflex leagues with lots of teams to drop him. If that happens, it could be a good idea to pick him up off waivers if available. In these leagues, every QB with a starting job should be rostered, at the bare minimum. Miami's receiving corps is struggling with injuries right now -- WRs Caleb Douglas (ankle) and Chris Bell (knee) are dealing with separate ailments, and Douglas didn't play in Week 4. Willis' fantasy point total of 2.5 points was dismal, and he was worse than many replacement-level players at other positions, even in those leagues. But he performed better when Douglas was healthy, and the rookie wideout could be the key to getting the offense going. Willis should be avoided in all 1QB formats, but in deep superflex leagues, he should be universally rostered. The Vikings defense shut him down well in his last game, but better days should be ahead.
