Mahomes: Predicting Chiefs' WR1 won't be easy for fantasy managers

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes expects fantasy football managers to have a hard time predicting who the team's No. 1 wide receiver will be following Tyreek Hill's departure.

"The biggest thing is there's going to be a different player every single game that has the big game," Mahomes said, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher. "It's not going to be just necessarily Tyreek and Travis (Kelce) every single week, where it's like one or the other having a big game or both."

He added: "So I'm sorry to all you fantasy football guys. It's going to come from everywhere, so you're going to have to kind of choose the right guy every week."

The Chiefs traded Hill, their leading wide receiver over the last six seasons, to the Miami Dolphins this offseason. The six-time Pro Bowler was a highlight machine in Kansas City, racking up 6,630 yards (13.8 per catch) and 56 touchdowns since 2016.

The Chiefs, who also roster wideout Mecole Hardman, revamped their receiving corps by signing free agents JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling and drafting Skyy Moore in the second round.

Mahomes still expects Kelce to be one of the NFL's most productive tight ends, though.

"It's going to be hard for teams to game-plan against," he said. "Obviously, Travis is going to probably have a lot of catches. That's just who he is. Other than that, it's going to come from the whole group, and I think the guys have kind of embraced that."

The Chiefs' offense ranked in the top 10 for points and yards each year since Mahomes became the starting quarterback in 2018.
