Yahoo Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden on Patrick Mahomes

Passing game struggling with dink-and-dunk approach despite elite athleticism

Patrick Mahomes serves as the benchmark for the Chiefs' offensive shift, as the team has moved toward more under-center, play-action, and motion-heavy schemes to support the run game, moving from 31st in 'static score' last season to 14th after Week 1. However, the passing game is struggling significantly, with Matt Harmon describing the passing chart for Mahomes as pathetic due to a lack of consistent playmakers down the field and a shift toward a dink-and-dunk offensive approach. Despite these struggles, Harmon still categorizes him as a top-tier athlete who possesses the rare ability to break the rules of typical performance expectations.
