Summary
Host Ian Hartiz breaks down Patrick Mahomes' fantasy value ahead of 2021. The start to Mahomes' NFL career has been nothing short of astounding both from a real life and fantasy perspective. The latter production has truly been special: Mahomes is already responsible for two of the top-six seasons in fantasy points per game from a quarterback ever. It remains to be seen if he can build on this feat in 2021, but the Chiefs' improved offensive line and typical group of playmakers on the outside is certainly a good sign. Ian concludes the podcast with Mahomes' specific rank and the rest of the top tier of quarterbacks for the 2021 season.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to PFF Fancy Football Podcast. I'm your host, Ian Hardinson. Today we continue |
| 0:13.0 | our Fancy Files series with the look at Patrick Mahomes, arguably the most talented quarterback |
| 0:19.0 | to ever play the glorious American past time known as football. I get it. Tom Brady, the |
| 0:24.6 | best career ever. And just like if we want to go on the LeBron James, Michael Jordan, |
| 0:30.6 | Rabbit Hole, the Randy Moss for a scary rice, when talking about who the best ever is |
| 0:34.6 | something in terms of career accomplishments, I get it. Nobody can hold a freaking candle |
| 0:39.4 | to Brady at the moment. But just like with Moss and Rice, Rice, obviously better career. |
| 0:45.2 | But I think objectively, if each of our lives was on the line and we could throw one jump |
| 0:49.4 | ball to the prime version of Rice or Moss, I don't know. I would take Moss in that scenario. |
| 0:54.8 | So the goat conversation, you know, it's always an issue between who is the actual best |
| 0:58.9 | talent and who actually had the best career. I'm talking about my homes and the light |
| 1:02.4 | of being the best talent, just because of things we have seen him do on a football field. |
| 1:06.6 | It doesn't stop getting more ridiculous. This is the guy that fell to tent overall only |
| 1:11.2 | because of concerns about how he would transition from Texas Tech's air raid offense to the NFL. |
| 1:16.6 | The highlights he was putting on tape were so freaking absurd in college that people just |
| 1:21.3 | assume it couldn't be replicated at the NFL level. Well, boy, have we been wrong. I |
| 1:26.1 | mean, we only saw him play one time in the initial 2017 season. People that week 17 |
| 1:32.2 | again, game against the Broncos was absolutely wild. My homes put five or six throws on tape |
| 1:36.9 | that, you know, were the exact reason why reading company felt so comfortable letting |
| 1:41.7 | Alex Smith or not letting him trading him away to Washington after pretty much the best |
| 1:46.2 | season of Alex Smith's career, easily his best one with the chiefs as a whole. So my |
