Mahomes is still elite at real football. But fantasy? That’s a different story.
Kansas City plays home games on natural grass, which historically slows offenses down — fewer explosive plays, more grind-it-out drives. Combine that with a top-tier Chiefs defense that rarely forces shootouts, and Mahomes just isn’t being asked to play hero ball anymore.
He finished 2024 with 0.73 points per touch — the same efficiency tier as Russell Wilson (0.74), Trevor Lawrence (0.73), Bryce Young (0.72), and Drake Maye (0.72). Not exactly the company you want from your QB1.
This isn’t about Mahomes getting worse. It’s about the fantasy ecosystem around him changing.
• Low shootout frequency
• Defense-led wins
• Clock-chewing run game
• Limited rushing upside
He’s becoming the NFL’s smartest game manager like Brady was… Which is great for the Chiefs… and bad for your fantasy team.
