Scheduled for more preseason work

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 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.
