Fantasy Football Player Notes

Patrick Mahomes is the QB15 in fantasy points per game, with three games with at least 22 fantasy points. He had a scare last week with his right elbow getting injured. Mahomes is day-to-day. I expect him to play this week, but I wouldn't be surprised if his aDOT is low this week. That wouldn't be a departure from what he has done for most of the season, though. Among 31 qualifying passers, Mahomes is ninth in yards per attempt and third in passing success rate while having the lowest aDOT (5.74) and the most passing yards from yards after the catch (68.3%). Mahomes should turn in another QB1 outing this week. Over their last five games, Atlanta has allowed the tenth-most yards per attempt, the second-highest passing success rate, the 11th-highest passing touchdown rate, and the sixth-highest passer rating.
