Patrick Mahomes News
Sunday, November 8, 12:28 PM
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (elbow) said he'll undergo further testing on his right elbow after Sunday's 35-12 win over the New York Jets, according to Charles Goldman. Mahomes said he wasn't throwing the way he wanted to coming out of halftime. He still completed 12 of 16 passes for 122 yards in the second half, and Kansas City scored touchdowns on its first two drives after the break. Mahomes hurt his throwing elbow on David Bailey's strip-sack late in the second quarter. He returned on the Chiefs' next possession and hit Travis Kelce for 12 yards on his first play back. Mahomes finished 23 of 31 for 242 yards and two touchdowns. The Chiefs visit the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10.

Michael Penix Jr. News
Saturday, November 7, 9:28 AM
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. had a forgettable Week 8, completing just eight of 24 passes for 125 yards and four interceptions. The lefty QB came into last week's contest with two straight three-touchdown performances and a 9:1 TD:INT, so he had been trending up. Perhaps some of the poor statistics can be chalked up to the inclement weather, and the former first-rounder can try to get back on track this weekend in Madrid, Spain in a matchup versus the Bengals. Cincinnati has been middle of the road in terms of allowing fantasy points to opposing QBs, but with the highest projected total on the slate this week (52.5), Penix may have to keep pace with Joe Burrow and company in order to keep this one close. The 26-year-old is ranked as the No. 22 QB overall this week at RotoBaller, but has shown the ability to finish as a QB1, so consider him a volatile low-end QB2 with a low floor and a high ceiling.
