The 2025 NFL season is still months away, but with the NFL Draft and free agency nearing completion, the roster for each team is taking shape. The Kansas City Chiefs, who fell short in last season’s Super Bowl, have made significant upgrades in their passing game, adding new talent at wide receiver and enhancing their offensive line for this upcoming season.

For fantasy managers looking to invest in Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, there’s new optimism. Despite Mahomes achieving over 4,700 yards and 37 touchdowns in four of his first five seasons, fantasy owners have felt disappointed over the last two seasons. Last year, Mahomes fell short of 4,000 passing yards for the first time in his career, finishing with only 26 TDs.

Mahomes’ average game stats left him with just shy of 20 fantasy points per game, ranking him low among quarterbacks. However, there’s a chance for him to bounce back this season. Betting markets are offering favorable odds for Mahomes to hit the 4,000 passing yard mark again, and those who believe in his rebound may find value in these opportunities.

Key changes in the roster give hope for a successful season, with improvements in pass catching options since the departure of Tyreek Hill. Last year’s first-round pick Xavier Worthy is expected to shine in his second season, while Rashee Rice returns from injury and Marquise Brown has re-signed, creating more offensive depth.

If Mahomes can maintain his health throughout the season, achieving 4,000 yards seems reachable, setting him up for a potentially strong comeback.
