KC @ HOU: Mahomes "slinging it?"

Recommended Posts

I'm in a full-point PPR.  I'm currently FLEXing KC RB I. Pacheco.  I researched teams vs. HOU this year, and the only sub-par week a RB had against them was .. MIA.  Tua picked apart HOU's zone defense.  Also: R. Mostert was OUT that game, and J. Wilson cramped up, and missed time (but returned).

 

So .. I just researched Mahomes' career stats vs. HOU.  Uh, oh.  In one game KC scored 34 points, with 21 being through the air.  In another game KC scored 51 (!) points, with 35 being through the air.  In the other one, KC scored 24 points, with 21 being through the air.

 

What do KC peeps / fans think about this upcoming game?  I keep hearing the MVP race is between Mahomes and PHI QB.  Could Reid / Mahomes still "sling it," even though the stats say pound the rock?  in the FF playoffs, I really need Pacheco to score at least one rushing TD..

I think if Patty Mahomes is your QB you are starting him regardless. I would imagine that KC gets up big and throttles down in the second half but Mahomes could still go for 250 and 3 touchdowns in that first half.

Looking deeper into Houston's numbers against QB's. Yes they've only given up 14.83 points per game but...

That includes 

  • 1.50 TO Fields
  • 1.95 to Malik Wills
  • 8.75 to Taylor Heincke
  • 6.30 to Deshaun Watson

When they faced real quarterback competition:

  • Justin Herbert- 29 points
  • Jalen Hurts 22.45
  • Tua- 18.95
  • Dak- 17

Sean: uh .. this is a Pacheco at FLEX inquiry post; nothing to do with Patrick!

 

Weep: other FLEX options: 1) ATL RB Cordarelle; 2) JAX WR2 Z. Jones; 3) BAL WR D-Rob; 4) TEN WR Burks; or 5) LVR TE D. Waller (currently starting JAX TE E. Engram; will likely switch out if Waller practices in FULL and is Activated).   Oh - RB1 is Henry; RB2 is Barkley.

I was giving lots of evidence to help kind of sway from a different point...

I'd probably start Zay Jones

He's coming off one of the worst games of his career.   I'm guessing he comes out sharp.  Just a hunch.

KC @ HOU, playing the worst team again the run in the NFL by far (183 yard rushing allowed MORE than the #2 team) - and KC only had 26 rushing attempts (by RBs) vs. 41 passes..
