Ā
š Mahomesā Evolving Game
Ā
Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefsā superstar QB, has been shifting his game this season:
Ā
ā¢ Last season, Mahomes averaged a career-low 261.4 passing yards per game.
ā¢ This season, heās on track for an even lower 226.0 passing yards per game through four weeks.
Ā
But this doesnāt mean Mahomes is slipping! Instead, it reflects a changing team dynamic:
Ā
1. The Chiefsā defense is at its strongest since Mahomes joined the team.
2. The absence of Tyreek Hill has reshaped the offense.
3. Offensive line challenges are making an impact.
Ā
š Adjusting to New Realities
Ā
Mahomes is adjusting with a new approach:
Ā
ā¢ His 5.6 intended air yards per attempt ranks 32nd out of 33 qualified QBs.
ā¢ Yet, his 6.6 yards after the catch per completion ranks 4th in the league.
Ā
Short, quick passes are keeping the Chiefsā offense efficient, despite lineup changes and new challenges.
Ā
š The Rashee Rice Factor
Ā
The absence of Rashee Rice for this game is a big loss for the Chiefs. Rice has been a crucial weapon for Mahomes:
Ā
ā¢ He accounts for 25.4% of team targets.
ā¢ While his average depth of target is just 5.2 yards, his after-catch ability boosts him to nearly 10 yards per target.
Ā
Mahomesā efficiency with Rice vs. other receivers tells the story:
Ā
ā¢ To Rice: 82.8% completion, 9.9 YPA, 6.9% TD%
ā¢ To others: 64.1% completion, 6.7 YPA, 4.3% TD%
Ā
š„ What to Watch For
Ā
As the Saints and Chiefs face off tonight, keep an eye on how Mahomes adjusts without his key short-yardage target, Rashee Rice. Will other receivers step up? Can the Saintsā defense take advantage and disrupt the Chiefsā offensive strategy?
Ā
With sharp money trends leaning toward the Saints but PLAYYED seeing KC as the true sharp play, this game promises to be a thrilling chess match! š§ Expect a competitive battle as these two teams aim for playoff positioning! š
