Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Impressive passing yardage in win
Patrick Mahomes completed 28 of 42 passes for 266 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added three carries for 19 yards in the Kansas City Chiefs' 16-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.Mahomes took four sacks from the aggressive Broncos defense, but he was able to do just enough to give his team a chance to preserve its undefeated mark. The two-time MVP focused a significant deal of attention on Kareem Hunt and Travis Kelce -- the latter of whom was on the receiving end of Mahomes' only touchdown -- as Denver forced plenty of short and intermediate throws, but he still found his way to his third straight 260-plus-yard total. Mahomes and the Chiefs' quest to get to 10-0 intersects with the Bills in a Week 11 road showdown next Sunday.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Set for full practice Wednesday
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Patrick Mahomes (ankle) will be a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.Mahomes had a bit of a scare in Monday's 30-24 overtime win over the Buccaneers, as he appeared to roll his left ankle during his second touchdown pass of the game early in the fourth quarter. Though he required assistance off the field, Mahomes was able to return for the Chiefs' next possession and didn't wind up missing any snaps on the night, despite having to play through some pain the rest of the way. With further evaluation after the game apparently turning up nothing concerning, Mahomes doesn't look as though he'll face any limitations heading into the Chiefs' Week 10 game against the Broncos on Sunday.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Trucks defender for TD
Patrick Mahomes completed 16 of 27 pass attempts for 154 yards, no passing touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing five times for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers.Mahomes produced his worst passing performance through six games this season, but he salvaged his fantasy day by generating his best rushing line against San Francisco in a rematch of last year's Super Bowl. The deceptively fast quarterback performed a ball fake on a scramble that allowed him to split three defenders for 33 yards. Mahomes finished off that same drive by trucking the only defender that stood between him and the end zone for his first rushing touchdown of the season. The Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated heading into a soft road matchup against the Raiders next Sunday.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Standout numbers in win
Patrick Mahomes completed 28 of 39 passes for 331 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed six times for 22 yards in the Kansas City Chiefs' 26-13 win over the Saints on Monday night.Despite being down yet another key skill-position player in Rashee Rice (IR, knee), Mahomes was in top form against a Saints defense that had made life mostly miserable for opposing quarterbacks heading into Monday night's contest. The two-time MVP seamlessly adapted to his circumstances by primarily concentrating his attention on the ever reliable Travis Kelce and complementary wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster, with whom he connected for a combined 16 completions and 200 yards on 18 total targets. Mahomes also made good use of other little-used pass catchers such as Mecole Hardman and Noah Gray, and the season-high yardage total he compiled was made all the more remarkable by the fact he connected with rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy, who entered the night as the de facto No. 1 receiver, on only three occasions for 25 yards. Mahomes and the Chiefs head into a Week 6 bye before a road showdown and Super Bowl rematch with the 49ers on Sunday, Oct. 20.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Losing playmakers
Patrick Mahomes completed 19 of 29 passes for 245 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers.Mahomes showed impressive efficiency by averaging 8.5 yards per attempt, though it didn't lead to a strong fantasy showing. The latter is understandable given that the Kansas City Chiefs lost another key pass catcher after Rashee Rice (knee) went down, leaving Travis Kelce and rookie Xavier Worthy as Mahomes' top two targets. The highlight of his performance came late in the second quarter when he found Worthy for a 54-yard touchdown. With Rice and Hollywood Brown (shoulder) both sidelined for the long term, it may be difficult for Mahomes to turn in his typical fantasy performances on a regular basis.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Another modest passing total
Patrick Mahomes completed 26 of 39 passes for 217 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Falcons. He added six rushing attempts for 17 yards.Mahomes was picked off in the end zone by familiar nemesis Justin Simmons in the first quarter, marking Simmons' sixth interception against Mahomes. The star quarterback bounced back with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Rashee Rice on the next drive and added another 13-yard touchdown pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster in the third quarter. Mahomes posted another underwhelming stat line after throwing for a meager 151 yards in the previous game, but he has led the Kansas City Chiefs to a 3-0 record despite his disappointing start from a statistical standpoint. He'll bring a 5:4 TD:INT into a Week 4 road game against a Chargers team that could be without starting quarterback Justin Herbert (ankle).

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Just 151 pass yards in Week 2 win
Patrick Mahomes completed 18 of 25 passes for 151 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals. He added four rushing attempts for 29 yards.Mahomes threw a perfect pass down the sideline for a 44-yard Rashee Rice touchdown in the second quarter, and he added a one-yard touchdown pass to backup left tackle Wanya Morris as the Kansas City Chiefs reached into their bag of tricks in the third. Despite doing just enough to get his team to 2-0 heading into Week 3 against the Falcons thanks to a game-winning 51-yard Harrison Butker field goal on the game's final play, Mahomes has some errors to clean up. Mahomes was picked off in the first quarter and again in the third, with the latter coming soon after a would-be interception was taken off the board by a penalty. Kansas City also caught a couple bad breaks before a defensive pass interference penalty set up the game-winning field goal, as Mahomes had fourth-quarter completions of 41 yards to Travis Kelce and 21 yards to Rice erased by penalties to suppress the star quarterback's stat line.
