If Mahomes Misses Time
Next man up: Justin Fields
Justin Fields is next on the Chiefs depth chart at quarterback. In superflex leagues he's worth a speculative bench spot for Mahomes managers; in 1QB leagues he's a waiver add only if Mahomes misses time.
Who else it affects
A quarterback change matters most for Travis Kelce and Kenneth Walker, his two most-targeted pass catchers this season.
