From the episode
I had Patrick Mahomes in the preseason QB 14... But honestly, all those questions I feel like have been answered... And now he gets the Miami Dolphins. That allows the passing touchdowns at the second highest rate in the NFL... I have Patrick Mahomes as a top five play this week.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalProjection
Mahomes top-5 QB with elite matchup vs. Miami's 31st-ranked pressure rate and TD-friendly defense.
Matthew Berry had Mahomes as QB14 in preseason due to concerns about running ability post-shoulder surgery (25% of fantasy points came from legs last year), Rice's injury, and Kelsey aging. However, Berry now rates Mahomes as a top-five QB play this week, noting he's "running, throwing, looks like 15 out there." Against Miami, which allows passing TDs at the second-highest rate in the NFL and has the 31st-ranked pressure rate, Mahomes will have time to pick apart the defense. Quarterbacks facing Miami are completing 78% of passes (highest in NFL through two weeks). Berry frames the Chiefs as reasserting dominance: "we still run this town."
