Mahomes’ trust in Brown was on full display Week 1, with heavy targets and strong efficiency. Worthy’s absence amplifies Brown’s value, and Mahomes’ volume distribution will determine Brown’s Week 2 ceiling and the Chiefs’ overall passing attack.

Mahomes opened with steady fantasy points but muted passing numbers amid a thinner supporting cast. Week 2 vs Eagles is a tougher test; risk of rushing volume masking a potential decline in passing efficiency makes him a buy-low sell-high candidate depending on roster needs.

Mahomes leads a Chiefs offense short on downfield options, needing quick timing, immaculate protection, and Reid’s scheming to convert on third and long. His performance in this rematch will largely reflect how well the run game and short passes sustain drives without Worthy’s usual big-play threat.

Mahomes remains an elite option, but Week 2 presents a formidable test. His ability to adapt under pressure and connect with receivers in tight windows keeps him in the fantasy elite, albeit with a higher-than-average risk-reward profile.

Mahomes continues historic TD pace, chasing Manning’s nine-season TD record and sustaining a 14-game TD streak, all while navigating a retooled Chiefs line to keep KC imagined as a high-floor fantasy option against Philly’s stout defense.
