QB KC
Week 3 · PPR
Start or sit Patrick Mahomes?
The verdict comes from our weekly projection model: last season's opportunity-based xFP/g shrunk toward the position mean, then adjusted for role, injury status, the opponent's fantasy points allowed and the Vegas game total vs the league average.
Borderline
#24 QB projection — on the borderline of the ~18 started in 12-team superflex.
Borderline call: Patrick Mahomes projects for 14.4 PPR points this week, ranked #24 among QBs by our projection model. @MIA is a soft matchup for QBs — the model applies a +7% swing to his projection. Vegas posts the total at 44.5 — 98% of the 45.6 league average for week 3.
