What sophomore slump?

Reigning NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes II might have started a little slow Sunday against the Raiders but the final stats for the Kansas City Chiefs QB are the best in the league this week -- by far -- showing us that there might still be some extra potential in his already pricey cardboard to come this season. His second game of his second season as starter included a 30-for-44 day passing which was good for 443 yards and four touchdowns in a 28-10 win. The next-closest QB for yardage? No. 1 pick Kyler Murray at 349 -- and he didn't even have a touchdown. No other QBs had four TDs, while a few had three -- and you may just see some of them here.

Mahomes' Rookie Cards and first autos are a key inclusion in 2017 NFL boxes. You could easily have Chiefs WR Demarcus Robinson on this list as well -- he had six catches for 172 yards and two TDs -- but we'll limit this one to one player per team and remind you that Robinson's RCs are in 2016 boxes.
