Availability
Patrick Mahomes II (knee) practiced in a full capacity on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Mahomes was able to take part in Kansas City's first practice of the week on Thursday and wasn't limited in any way. It seems like the team is planning on him starting on Monday night, barring any unforeseen setbacks. His presence would be great news for the fantasy value of players like Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce in a matchup against a tough Denver defense.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Patrick Mahomes is set to start on Monday night barring a setback.

Patrick Mahomes II is set to be sidelined for Saturday's preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Fantasy Impact
To no surprise, the Chiefs will hold Mahomes' out of their second preseason game on Saturday. He is still recovering from a serious knee injury that he suffered late last year, and they don't want to do anything to jeopardize his health before the start of the regular season. Justin Fields is expected to start in his absence.
Patrick Mahomes will not play in Saturday's preseason opener, per HC Andy Reid.
Fantasy Impact
Mahomes has operated at full capacity throughout training camp, but Kansas City is seemingly playing it safe as he continues to work his way back to 100%. Mahomes could still play later in the preseason to experience live action before Week 1. In the meantime, Justin Fields is expected to get the nod on Saturday.
