Patrick Mahomes is widely regarded as the best quarterback in the league, given his status as the reigning MVP and his role in guiding the Kansas City Chiefs to the title last season. This year he’s had a strong start, with his team boasting a 2-1 record.
The lone defeat came in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, where the primary reason for the one-point loss was the dropped passes by his Chiefs teammates. Mahomes has consistently performed at a high level, but he doesn’t hold the top spot in passing yards per game entering week 4.
