The Slow, Boring Erosion of the Kansas City Chiefs Dynasty

Patrick Mahomes is on pace to rush for 1,045 yards this season. If that were Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, or Jalen Hurts, you might say, “Hey, that’s pretty cool! Good for him!” Because it’s the league’s best and most decorated passer, though, it’s actually kind of messed up. Sure, Mahomes is a mobile quarterback—and perhaps the league’s most dangerous third-down scrambler—but he’s not meant to be producing like a high-end RB2 in fantasy football. He’s not built for this. Not over the course of a full season.
