Patrick MahomesQBKC

Mahomes is practicing in full seven and a half months after ACL surgery, rolling out both ways and throwing on the run, which is impressive recovery progress. However, Evan Silva ranks him at 120 overall, well behind the home league ADP of 100 overall. Silva's concern is that Mahomes admitted he ran too much last year—a massive part of his fantasy success—and his scramble rate was off the charts compared to his normal baseline. The Chiefs may reduce his rushing volume following his injury, similar to how they removed the quarterback sneak from the playbook after his previous high ankle sprain.
