Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will rest Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers, head coach Andy Reid announced.
The Chiefs will likely rest many of their other starters as well. Chad Henne will make his first start since 2014. Darwin Thompson and Mecole Hardman may wind up being the Chiefs' top playmakers.
The Chargers have the No. 18 pass defense in numberFire's schedule-adjusted metrics but are allowing the eighth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the quarterback position this season.
