Positive signalProjection

Mahomes' recent breakout and Jets' weak pass defense support QB1 projection.

Patrick Mahomes broke out of his funk last week with 25.4 fantasy points (QB5 for the week), his first game with more than 17 fantasy points since Week 2. Overall, he is QB14 in fantasy points per game. Mahomes operates as a low aDOT machine: among 30 qualifying passers, he ranks ninth in yards per attempt, fourth in passing success rate, tenth in fantasy points per dropback, but has the highest rate of passing yards from yards after the catch (66.6%) and lowest aDOT (6.11). He should have another QB1 outing against a struggling Jets pass defense, which has allowed the tenth-most yards per attempt, fifth-highest passing success rate, sixth-highest passing touchdown rate, and fifth-most fantasy points per dropback over their last five games.
