Alright, folks, gather ’round. Today, I gotta talk about something that’s been bugging me all week: Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, you heard that right, the star quarterback. This week I have a big problem, do I play him or not? Let me walk you through my thought process here, step by step.
First off, I grabbed my phone and started digging into the latest news. Mahomes has been the talk of the town because of that ankle injury he sustained last Sunday. I scrolled through multiple reports and found out that he’s gonna play in Saturday’s game against the Houston Texans. No injury status, which is a good sign. I mean the guy is a beast.
Deep Dive into Stats
Next, I dove into the stats. I mean, we all know Mahomes is a fantasy football goldmine. But the dude doesn’t run as much as some other top quarterbacks, and that kinda lowers his ceiling, you know? But still, he’s consistent. He keeps those passing stats up. I compared his stats from the past few games and, honestly, it’s impressive. Even with a bum ankle, the guy’s a machine. He just threw the ball and the ball went. I checked out some expert analyses too. Most of them are saying he’s still a top pick, despite the injury. But, you know, they’re experts, and sometimes they miss the obvious stuff. I started to feel a bit more confident, but I’m still not totally sold, you know?
Considering the Matchup
Then I looked at the matchup. The Chiefs are playing the Texans. Now, the Texans’ defense isn’t exactly top-tier. That’s a plus for Mahomes. I imagined Mahomes picking apart their defense, even with a slightly gimpy ankle. I also remembered that Mahomes has Travis Kelce, his favorite target. They have this crazy connection on the field. It’s like they can read each other’s minds. That’s gotta count for something, right?
Weighing the Risks
But here’s the thing: I started thinking about the risks. What if he re-injures that ankle? What if he’s not 100%? What if the Chiefs decide to play it safe and limit his plays? These thoughts kept popping up in my head. I mean, it’s fantasy football, and we all know how unpredictable it can be. One wrong move and your whole week is ruined. I paced around my room, mulling over these possibilities. It’s a tough call.
Making the Decision
After hours of deliberation, I finally made a decision. Drumroll, please… I’m gonna play him. Yeah, I know it’s a bit of a gamble, but I’m feeling lucky. I visualized Mahomes having a great game, throwing touchdowns, and racking up those fantasy points. I decided to trust my gut on this one. I’ll set my lineup tomorrow morning and keep my fingers crossed. I am just gonna do it. Wish me luck, guys!
- Do I regret it? Not yet.
- Will I regret it? Maybe.
- But hey, that’s the thrill of fantasy football, right?
So, there you have it. That’s my thought process on whether to play Mahomes this week or not. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, but I’m sticking to my guns. Let’s see how it plays out. I’ll keep you all updated on how it goes. Until then, keep grinding, and may your fantasy teams be ever in your favor!
