The best ever?

Mahomes' numbers rival Manning, Brady

Patrick Mahomes is having a great year. By the end of the day Sunday, it might go down as the best ever, for fantasy purposes.

Scoring systems vary, but in a general sense, Mahomes is in range to finish with the No. 1 season by a quarterback. With 2 TD passes, he’ll join Peyton Manning and Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks to throw 50 touchdowns in a season. Unlike those guys, he’s also a factor as a runner. He’s got 271 rushing yards.

For typical scoring formats, if Mahomes puts up another one of his typical games, he’ll become the most productive single-season quarterback ever.

He’s already No. 2, if using the scoring system of 6 points for touchdowns, 4 for TD passes, 1 for every 20 passing yards and 1 for every 10 rushing yards, with 2 points subtracted for interceptions.
