Elite Colts secondary presents challenge, but weak pass rush could enable completion volume.
Mahomes faces significant matchup challenges vs. Colts elite secondary in Week 12; he ranks 22nd in completion rate against man coverage and 27th in yards per attempt against man. Recent success rates have been poor: 13th percentile vs. Bills and 22nd percentile vs. Broncos. The source expresses concern about stop-start offensive rhythm against an elite secondary, especially if Colts employ heavy man coverage schemes. However, the Colts lack a good pass rush (especially without Forrest Buckner) compared to the Broncos and Bills, which could allow Mahomes to throw a bunch of completions to Rice and Kelce, similar to how Jacoby Brissett had high completion volume last week despite middling EPA per play. This completion-heavy game script should benefit Mahomes' fantasy output.
