Fantasy Football: Week 5 QB rankings

Week 4 was filled with plenty of ups and downs at the quarterback position, but one of those "downs" may have fantasy football managers more concerned than others — Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes.

The Chiefs made a concerted effort this offseason to improve the personnel around Mahomes after a challenging 2023 campaign, adding Hollywod Brown in free agency and drafting Xavier Worthy in the first round to pair with TE Travis Kelce and WR Rashee Rice.

Unfortunately, even the best-laid plans often go awry, with Brown (and possibly Rice, pending any updates) out for the season with injuries, and Worthy has yet to find consistent footing. Among all quarterbacks with 100+ dropbacks this year, Mahomes has the second-lowest aDOT, too, another blow to his upside, yet to have cracked the 20+ fantasy mark this season.
