Obviously Mahomes' performance is difficult to project, but barring injury, it's Smith or him depending on whether KC retains Smith. If Smith starts, obviously everything's fine. If Mahomes starts, we may not know how good he will be, but we do know one of his strengths is the deep ball, which at least bodes well for Hill's fantasy production even if Mahomes throws INTs etc. On the other hand, all three MIN QBs are free agents in 2018. Honestly Keenum would probably be the cheapest to retain/most likely, but that's still a toss-up. Of course they could sign a FA like Tyrod Taylor or Kirk Cousins, but there's a lot more uncertainty than with Smith or Mahomes.lukkynumber13 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 12:16 pmSo you're saying there's a 5% chance a 3rd QB enters into the conversation, via injuries or somethingWhatWouldDitkaDo wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 10:36 amNot really...a lot is up in the air with MIN's QB situation, but KC will 95% likely be starting Smith or Mahomes...I'll take Hill here. The man is TY Hilton lite, so I'll take that over Antonio Brown lite with recurring groin injuries.
Out of the 95%, there's probably a 50% chance Smith is the starter
So that means there's a 45% chance Mahomes is the guy there next year. And we do NOT know what he will be. Anyone that thinks he's a known asset is a fool. He is a guy that's pure projection
So yes, I'd say there are a lot of unknowns when it comes to the KC quarterback room
I don't disagree that Diggs is a better route runner, but Hill has improved this season, and I don't see why he can't continue to. I also think Reid is a much better offensive mind who will scheme Hill open regardless of his weaknesses as a route runner. The groin injuries are somewhat concerning as well.
