From the video
Mahomes had a career high in rushing yards per game and a career high in touchdowns as well... Mahomes last year, he scored 5.2 fantasy points per game via rushing. His previous high was 3.5... They get Kenneth Walker... I think there's a very real chance that they lean a little bit more run heavy... I don't know why we would feel confident of Mahomes versus Purdy or Mahomes versus Bo Nix
STACKED’s take
Rushing regression likely; efficiency down; overpriced at QB11 vs. Purdy/Nix
Patrick Mahomes is facing rushing regression risk and efficiency decline despite career-high rushing production last year. Mahomes scored 5.2 fantasy points per game via rushing in 2024 (previous high 3.5), a major driver of his fantasy relevance. However, JJ Zachariason sees limited upside vs. alternatives: Kenneth Walker's addition to the Chiefs suggests a run-heavy offensive shift, reducing Mahomes' rushing opportunities. Mahomes has not been able to replicate the efficiency from his first five seasons, posting a 4.5% touchdown rate and 7 yards per pass attempt in recent seasons, well below his early-career marks. Zachariason questions why to feel confident in Mahomes over Brock Purdy or Bo Nix given his ADP and tier, noting Mahomes had years as a "streaming Frankenstein type player." He's dropped Mahomes in best ball and won't target him early, ranking him QB13–QB14 in projections vs. QB11 ADP due to name-value overpricing.
