Well, so far, so good. The Kansas City Chiefs thrashed the Arizona Cardinals in Week Oneand managed to come from behind to put up 27 points on the Los Angeles Chargersā revamped defense.
Some expected Patrick Mahomes to be exposed without Tyreek Hill. But I guess itās safe to say that Mahomes has fared just well without Cheetahand that the so-called lack of depth hasnāt hurt the Chiefsā offense whatsoever.
Ironically, Mahomes feels the opposite way. He believes the Chiefs now have way too many weapons, so you never know whoās going to hurt you. In that way, maybe losing Hill was a blessing in disguise.
NFL News: Mahomes Credits Depth For Explosive Offense
āWith the amount of tight ends, running backs and receivers that we have, itās going to be everything,ā Mahomes said after the game. āItās going to be a lot of guys catching passes, itās going to be running the football, itās going to be throwing the football, itās going to be deep passes. It makes us a hard offense to stop. And when the defense plays the way they played today, weāre going to win a lot of football games.ā
He Warned Fantasy Football Players Before
Pat did try to warn you all before the start of the season. He said the Chiefs were going to spread the wealth and feed multiple receivers, so fantasy football enthusiasts may feel kind of frustrated:
āThe biggest thing is thereās going to be a different player every single game that has the big game,ā Mahomes told ESPN before Week 1. āItās not going to be just necessarily Tyreek and Travis [Kelce] every single week, where itās like one or the other having a big game or both. Every single week, itās going to be someone different.ā
āSo Iām sorry to all you fantasy football guys. Itās going to come from everywhere, so youāre going to have to kind of choose the right guy every week,ā he added.
Fantasy football aside, the Chiefs are now 2-0 and have looked like an unstoppable force early in the season. So, maybe itās time you guys stop questioning Mahomes, or heāll keep coming back to prove youwrong.
