Fantasy Football ADP Values: AFC West
ADP Values
Patrick Mahomes (KC): ADP 32.7 | QB3
I’m a fan of waiting on drafting a quarterback in a 1QB league this year, with several excellent late-round options for fantasy players. However, the one expectation I will make is for Mahomes. The superstar had the worst season of his career as the starter, averaging 17.5 fantasy points per game. It was the first time he averaged fewer than 20.5 fantasy points as the Chiefs’ starting quarterback. However, Mahomes set career bests in rushing attempts (75) and yards (389) last year.
More importantly, Kansas City made massive changes to his receiving core in the offseason, giving Mahomes arguably the best set of weapons of his career. Travis Kelce is healthy after dealing with injuries last year. Rashee Rice likely won’t get suspended for his off-the-field issues until the 2025 season. Meanwhile, Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy give Mahomes reliable downfield weapons for the first time since Kansas City traded away Tyreek Hill. Don’t be surprised if the superstar has the best year of his career.
Zamir White (LV): ADP 68.7 | RB23
White barely saw the field over his first two years in the NFL, totaling 37 rushing attempts in his first 27 career games. However, he was outstanding when Josh Jacobs suffered a quad injury. White was the RB8, averaging 14.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the final four contests last season with Jacobs sidelined. The former Georgia star had 20 or more touches in every contest, totaling 100 or more scrimmage yards in all but one game as the starter.
Furthermore, White had the fourth-highest yards after contact per rushing attempt (3.06) among running backs with at least 30 attempts during those four weeks, ranking ahead of Christian McCaffrey and Jahmyr Gibbs, and the ninth-best explosive run rate (6%), ranking ahead of Breece Hall and Jonathan Taylor (per Fantasy Points Data). While Dylan Laube could carve out a role in the passing game, White should have a featured role on the ground. He has top-12 upside in what should be a run-heavy Las Vegas offense.
