Espn's Adam Schefter reports Patrick Mahomes is set to play week one against the Denver Broncos.
This is very much in line with what we've heard throughout the past few months as Mahomes recovers from a severe knee injury he suffered near the end of the 2025 season.
He has reportedly attacked rehab unlike anybody has ever seen, and that's great.
We would expect nothing less from the GOAT.
This makes, you know, Travis Kelsey, Xavier Worthy, Rasheed Rice, even a guy like Tyquan Thornton viable for fantasy.
And if you're attacking those guys in drafts, if you're seeing them as good ADPs, then keep drafting them because Mahomes seems like he's going to be okay for the start of the season.
Now, if Mahomes has any sort of setback, if there are any issues with that knee as he recovers and gets back to 100%, Justin Fields would step in under center for Kansas City and make all of those guys non-viable in 12-team leagues, in my opinion.
So be careful.
Keep it locked to Roto World throughout the next few weeks to make sure Mahomes is okay.
But it is good news for the Kansas City offense.
