Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is officially available for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.
The signal-caller was excluded from the team’s final injury report, confirming his status for the upcoming matchup, according to Yahoo Sports.
Mahomes previously suffered a throwing elbow injury during a recent victory over the New York Jets, as reported by The Big Lead.
Although the injury caused discomfort while throwing, subsequent medical imaging revealed no significant structural damage, noted The Big Lead.
The quarterback demonstrated progress throughout the week by participating fully in practice sessions on both Wednesday and Thursday.
Fantasy managers have been advised to keep the veteran in their starting lineups given his strong performance metrics this season.
Mahomes has recorded 2,037 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, and four interceptions across eight games this year.
His recent production includes 563 passing yards and five touchdowns over his last two appearances, per the outlets.
The Falcons defense enters the contest having allowed an average of 241.2 passing yards per game this season.
Other roster updates indicate that running back Kenneth Walker and cornerback Mansoor Delane are listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.
Meanwhile, offensive lineman Jaylon Moore has been ruled out, according to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The team also confirmed that players Peter Woods and Omarr Norman-Lott will not participate in the upcoming game in Atlanta.
Despite the lingering concerns regarding his elbow, the consensus remains that Mahomes is a reliable starting option for fantasy rosters this week.
The Chiefs look to capitalize on his momentum as they prepare to face an Atlanta secondary that recently surrendered 271 passing yards to Joe Burrow.
The final verdict for fantasy managers is to start the quarterback without hesitation, the reports concluded.
