Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Strong showing in Week 1 win
Patrick Mahomes completed 20 of 28 passes for 291 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Kansas City Chiefs' 27-20 win over the Ravens on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for three yards and was credited with a two-yard reception of his own deflected pass.Mahomes put together a signature performance that saw him distribute the ball to seven different targets. The perennial Pro Bowler clicked most frequently with top wideout Rashee Rice, who brought in seven of Mahomes' completions for 103 yards. Mahomes' one scoring toss went to speedy first-round pick Xavier Worthy, who brought in a 35-yard dart early in the fourth quarter that gave Kansas City some valuable breathing room. Mahomes' impressive yardage total and efficiency notably came with Travis Kelce recording only three receptions and Marquise Brown missing the game with his shoulder injury, supporting the notion the two-time MVP could be in store for another prolific season. Mahomes' and the Chiefs' next assignment is a marquee Week 2 home showdown against the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 15.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Unlikely to play Thursday
Coach Andy Reid said Monday that Patrick Mahomes and other starters are unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason game against Chicago, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.Mahomes played the first two preseason games and completed 11 of 18 passes for 120 yards, with highlights including a 37-yard completion to rookie Xavier Worthy during Saturday's loss to the Lions. Marquise Brown's health is perhaps the biggest question for Kansas City's offense ahead of a Week 1 home game against the Ravens after the wideout suffered a sternoclavicular injury Aug. 10. A recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks was reported shortly thereafter, putting Brown in serious doubt for the Week 1 rematch of last season's AFC Championship Game.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Strong showing in preseason game
Patrick Mahomes completed eight of 14 passes for 93 yards against Detroit on Saturday.Mahomes played the first two drives of the preseason game, with most of the Kansas City Chiefs first-string offense playing with him. The absence of Marquise Brown (shoulder) allowed Mahomes to work extensively with first-round pick rookie Xavier Worthy, who drew five of Mahomes' targets (though Worthy's 22-yard touchdown would come with Carson Wentz at quarterback). Mahomes even made waves by completing a behind-the-back screen pass to Travis Kelce for eight yards. Mahomes is likely the top player in the NFL and doesn't need new tricks to dominate, but he's apparently been working on some anyway.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Scheduled for more preseason work
Patrick Mahomes and other starters are scheduled to play the first half of Saturday's preseason game against Detroit, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.Per usual, the Kansas City Chiefs are at the front of the pack when it comes to preseason playing time for starters. It's worked out more than alright for them in recent years, but fantasy managers that have already drafted Mahomes presumably aren't thrilled to see the multi-year trend continue. The expectation of considerable playing time makes KC's QB1 a viable choice for preseason DFS contests.
