There are actually upsides to the injury limited Mahomes a bit.
When the Bengals drop 8 and kept a spy, it has completely negated Mahomes' roll out game. It's been three games and Mahomes got better this year with it, but he still struggled to adjust. Last year he was completely flabbergasted.
Now that Mahomes won't be rolling out as much, and isn't as much of a scramble threat, it's possible the Bengals play a more conventional style.
