Patrick Mahomes

Because the Giants have been giving up a lot of passing yards and Mahomes has been running more than usual, start him this week — he should score reliably and can make big plays. Just check late injury and playing-time updates for his receivers before the lineup locks.

Bench Patrick Mahomes this week — with Rashee Rice suspended and other receivers hurt or out, his passing options are thin and he faces a very tough Philadelphia defense. Only start him if your league lets you start two quarterbacks or you have no better option, and consider trading him if someone offers good value.

Start Patrick Mahomes this week — he should still throw a lot and is the safest pick even with Rashee Rice out. The Chargers can make scoring tougher and he's been up-and-down, so only trade him for a big offer and don't make him your expensive centerpiece in one-day contests.

Draft Patrick Mahomes in the middle rounds. He should do well with better health and more help around him, but he runs less, could score fewer touchdowns, and a new receiver adds some uncertainty.
