The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Patrick Mahomes.
Is Patrick Mahomes Playing in Week 11?
Mahomes was listed on the injury report with an ankle and hip injury, but he was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice. He was removed from the injury report on Thursday and is in no danger of missing Sunday’s game.
We’ll continue to monitor the Chiefs’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Patrick Mahomes in Week 11?
Daniel Jones and Caleb Williams are a part of the long list of QBs this season with multiple top-10 finishes in 2024.
That list doesn’t include Patrick Mahomes.
I think he has a chance to join it this week if for no other reason than it might be the rare instance where that is what is asked of him. Mahomes has struggled to be a consistent fantasy asset this season, not because the aliens from Space Jam stole his talent, but because the undefeated Chiefs don’t need him to put up big numbers the way Buffalo needs Josh Allen to.
I like his usage potential in this spot against a defense that asks you to take your medicine with short passes, something Mahomes has been doing in volume for the past few seasons. That said, we have to also include the idea that Buffalo dictates the tempo and makes this a low-possession game.
Mahomes is my QB14 this week. If it looks like we are getting a low ownership situation in DFS tournaments, I might get there as a bet on talent.
