What was reported

Sourced report

Reid said Mahomes is set to start against Denver after his ACL recovery. The coach's confirmation puts Mahomes back in the Week 1 lineup pool, though normal in-game workload and mobility should be assessed after he returns.

Fantasy impact

Plan for Mahomes to start in Week 1. Keep a normal contingency only for an unexpected late-week change, rather than treating his ACL recovery as an automatic inactive risk.
