Chiefs enter 2025 with Patrick Mahomes at the center of a high-octane offense, but Rashee Rice’s six‑game ban tests early depth. Travis Kelce, Isiah Pacheco, Xavier Worthy and a rising Xavier Worthy form a dangerous core, while a rebuilt O-line could unlock more explosive plays. Fantasy managers should watch Mahomes closely as he aims to reclaim elite passer status.

Analysts expect KC to rebound if the line syncs with the pass-catching corps and if Mahomes’ TD rate climbs toward historic levels. The AFC remains competitive with Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson looming, but KC’s ceiling stays sky-high when their quarterback thrives.
