Patrick Mahomes Struggles in Chiefs’ Narrow Loss to Lions

Patrick Mahomes II struggled in a Week 1 21-20 loss to the Detroit Lions, mainly at the hands of the receivers who had difficulty reeling in throws.

Fantasy Impact: The 27-year-old QB1 completed 21 of his 39 passing attempts for 226 yards, tossing two touchdowns and one interception that bounced off Kadarius Toney’s hands. But Mahomes wasn’t just a threat through the air; he added 45 yards on the ground on six attempts, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities. His performance was highlighted by a beautiful touchdown pass to Rashee Rice in the second quarter and a 34-yard completion to Marquez Valdes-Scantling that set up another score. However, a costly interception returned for a touchdown in the third quarter proved to be a turning point in the game. Despite the loss, Mahomes’ fantasy managers should look forward to a promising matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2.
