Quarterbacks
Patrick Mahomes $6,100 vs. NYJ
The Chiefs have lost two straight games, and this is an awesome get right spot at home against the Jets. Despite facing the Raiders, Dolphins and Browns in three of their last four games, New York ranks 26th in EPA per play since Week 5. Over the last four weeks, they’re 25th in the rate of opponent drives that end in a TD. Oddsmakers are obviously projecting KC to roll here with the Chiefs favored by 9.5 at home. Since Mahomes became the starter in 2018, he’s averaging 282 passing yards & 2 TDs in games where the Chiefs are favored by 10+ points.
