Why It Matters: After opening the season with multiple touchdown passes in each of his first four games, Mahomes went without a TD strike for a second consecutive week. It didn't matter in Week 6, a low-stress 22-6 win over the Chargers, but the Chiefs couldn't overcome his lack of success on Sunday night as they fell to the defending Super Bowl Champion Seahawks by 17 points. Seattle is easily one of the toughest teams to generate value against, so there's no need to overreact to a rough night, but it's a reminder that this version

of Mahomes isn't a matchup-proof option. That said, he should offer QB1 value next week in Denver.
