Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes remains the No. 1 quarterback in Pro Football Focus‘ quarterback rankings for Week 6. He has completed 64.1% of his passes for 1,037 yards (17th), nine touchdowns (tied for eighth) and two interceptions. The 31-year-old had a bye week in Week 5, and it came at a good time to rest his surgically repaired knee.
Mahomes was on the ground often during the Chiefs’ 30-27 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 4. He was 15-for-30 for 225 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Mahomes kept his composure after seeing two of his top receivers leave with injuries. Rashee Rice left early in the game with a hamstring injury, and Tyquan Thornton suffered a gruesome dislocated ankle in the fourth quarter. Thornton has since gone on Injured Reserve.

Mahomes’ 87.8 PFF grade ranks fifth. His 6.7% big-time throw rate ranks first, while his 1.3% turnover-worthy play rate is sixth-lowest among the 34 quarterbacks with at least 60 dropbacks so far this year. He has operated with an average depth of target of 7.5 yards and an average time to throw of 2.66 seconds. On the ground, Mahomes added 46 scramble yards and one rushing touchdown, earning a 75.9 rushing grade, which ranks seventh among qualified QBs.
Mahomes and the Chiefs will face the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday, and they could be without Rice and Thornton. Rice missed practice Wednesday with a hamstring injury.
