Patrick Mahomes Injury Update: Mild High-Ankle Sprain
Patrick Mahomes left the Chiefs’ 21-7 win over the Browns in the fourth quarter due to an ankle injury. Tests revealed a mild high-ankle sprain, and while Mahomes is listed as week-to-week, the team will assess him throughout the week to see if he can play in Saturday’s game against the Houston Texans. Before leaving, Mahomes had 159 yards and two touchdowns on 19-of-38 passing. Despite facing heavy pressure (sacked 21 times), Mahomes remains a top fantasy QB with 3,348 passing yards and 22 touchdowns this season.
With a quick turnaround and tough matchups ahead, including a Christmas Day game, Mahomes’ ankle injury is a big concern. While the Chiefs don’t think it’s serious, it’s still something fantasy gamers should monitor closely. If Mahomes can’t go, owners may need to find backup options, as the Chiefs rely heavily on him for both their playoff hopes and fantasy points.

Mahomes capped the drive off with a 3 yard touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman.
At 28,Mahomes is 15-2 as a starter in the playoffs, throwing for 46 touchdowns and only 9 interceptions. Mahomes is now tied for third all-time, with the most Superbowl wins by a Quarterback alongside Troy Aikman and Earl Morrell. By winning his 3rd Superbowl MVP award, Mahomes moves into elite company, alongside Joe Montana for second All-time, only behind Tom Brady with 4. At this stage of his career it is hard to not put Mahomes in the conversation for GOAT at the Quarterback position.
Patrick Mahomes is aiming for GOAT status, going for his 3rd Superbowl in his first 6 years in the league.
Patrick Mahomes is aiming for GOAT status, going for his 3rd Superbowl in his first 6 years in the league. After a humiliating loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day, Mahomes and the Chiefs have since found their identity and are now playing their best football of the year. Mahomes has led the Chiefs to three big playoff wins against the best opponents the AFC had to offer in the Dolphins, Bills, and Ravens.
Mahomes is one win away from without a doubt cementing himself permanently in the GOAT conversation alongside Tom Brady and Joe Montana. At 28, Mahomes is 14-3 as a starter in the playoffs, throwing for 44 touchdowns and only 8 interceptions. This will be Mahomes’ 4th Superbowl appearance in his 6 years in the league and he has yet to miss an AFC Championship game. It will take a huge effort from the 49ers in order to prevent Mahomes from further denoting himself alongside Montana and Brady in the GOAT conversation.
Patrick Mahomes to sit, Blaine Gabbert to start for the Chiefs when they face the Chargers in week 18.
Andy Reid announced on Wednesday, that the Chiefs would be resting some of their starters in week 18 and he revealed that Patrick Mahomes would indeed be one of those players. Mahomes underperformed for fantasy managers in 2023, finishing with 4184 passing yards and throwing for 27 touchdowns. Mahomes, finished 2023 as the QB7, his second worst season statistically as a pro.
Blaine Gabbert gets the start for the Chiefs this week and it remains uncertain which, if any, of the Chiefs top playmakers will be playing this week. With one of the lowest scoring lines of the week don’t expect much out of Gabbert and the Chiefs offensively this week.
