Patrick Mahomes Suffers Torn ACL & LCL, 2026 Week 1 Availability Uncertain

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes tore both his ACL and LCL in Week 15, missing the final two games of the 2025 season. Despite the injury, he finished as a top-10 fantasy QB with 296.2 points, boosted by a career-high 422 rushing yards and five rushing TDs. His rushing upside may be limited in 2026, and there's a chance he won't be ready for Week 1. This presents considerable risk for fantasy drafts, potentially lowering his ADP.
