Mahomes or Brees?

quote:

---

Patrick Mahomes has 29 touchdown passes and 3,185 yards in 10 games, the most ever. He has gone over 300-yards in 8-straight tying Luck’s single-season NFL record. In four home games he’s thrown for 11 scores while averaging 322 yards a game. He takes on the best defense in fantasy football at holding down the quarterback.

We’re almost to the point where we’re starting to take him for granted to a degree since he plays a position with so many available options each week. Mahomes has now hit as a top-6 scorer in four straight games and has set a new career-high in passing yardage in three of his past four games. Arizona is tied in allowing a league-low nine touchdown passes on the season because teams are running the ball at will on them, but Mahomes and the Chiefs offense are the unit that has dictated matchups.

Drew Brees has 22 games, after last weeks effort, with four touchdowns and no picks to tied Tom Brady for the NFL record. He leads the league in completion percentage, QB Rating and QBR. He averaged 348 passing yards a game at home. He faces the fourth worst fantasy defense in football against the quarterbacks.

We have a spot with Brees on the road and outdoors, but the Bengals have just been too awful defensively to ignore. The Bengals rank 29th in passing points allowed per game (19.7) and the only games in which they allowed fewer than 319 yards passing to quarterbacks where to Ryan Tannehill and Cam Newton (who still was the QB3 that week). In four of their past five games, the Bengals have allowed 470, 358, 369 and 419 passing yards outside of that game versus Tannehill.
