Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has become a top target for Ben Roethlisberger. What has led to his success early in 2020? The Pittsburgh Steelers came into the 2020 season with several questions on offense as Ben Roethlisberger returned from injury. Not only were there questions about what Big Ben would look like following the injury and given his age, but questions around the playmakers he had at his disposal as well. JuJu Smith-Schuster looked to take over as the primary t

The Carolina Panthers entered a rebuilding phase over the offseason, and it began with the hire of head coach Matt Rhule. As a coach taking over a new team, the first thing to look at is what players fit what you want to incorporate on offense and defense—finding those players that will become building blocks for your franchise. While many will point to running back Christian McCaffrey as the obvious weapon on offense, another player is a crucial weapon for the Panthers. That would be wide rece

Projecting the production of rookies is a challenging task. Adjusting from college to the NFL is different for each player. Add to the fact that COVID-19 eliminated all offseason activities that help rookies get acclimated before the season, and it can be even more difficult for a rookie to produce right away. If there's one player who can still step in right away and succeed, it's Denver Broncos wide receiver . The Broncos have made it a point to surround with as much talent as possible to giv

Looking ahead to the 2021 NFL Draft, here are some defensive end prospects that could help the Kansas City Chiefs. In the upcoming offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs have two defensive ends under contract. With Frank Clark and 2020 fifth-round pick Mike Danna the only players under contract going forward, the 2021 NFL Draft should be one place we see the team look to add some talent. Even though this year’s draft isn’t top-heavy with pass rushers, it makes up for it in the number of good pass ru

If the Kansas City Chiefs want to take down Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccanneers, the defensive line will have to step up in Week 12. Thanks to perfect execution on the game’s final drive by Patrick Mahomes and the offense, the Kansas City Chiefs were able to defeat the Las Vegas Raiders in the final minute of the Week 12 matchup. Coming out of the bye week, the offense looked better in their second showdown vs. the Raiders. On the other side of the football, the defense continued to struggl

Looking ahead to the 2021 NFL Draft, here are some offensive linemen that could help the Kansas City Chiefs. Coming off of the bye week, the Kansas City Chiefs look to kick off the second half of their 2020 season. With just over half of the regular season in the books, we can get a good feel for areas of need on the roster. The bye week is an excellent time to evaluate the team and find areas that could be improved. The obvious areas that will need addressing this offseason are the offensive

The Kansas City Chiefs look to get revenge against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11 in the biggest AFC West matchup in several years. Andy Reid‘s success coming out of the bye week is something that gets brought of every year with good reason. Over the course of his head coaching career, he has piled up a winning record of 18-3 following the regular season bye. Extending to the post-season, Reid has gone 5-2 when given a bye week during Wild Card weekend. Like the last two seasons, the Kansas

Rashad Fenton continues to take advantage of limited opportunities in 2020 but has yet to receive the recognition he deserves. During the first four weeks of the season, Rashad Fenton saw considerable playing time for the Kansas City Chiefs. He entered for Charvarius Ward in the second half against the Houston Texans in Week 1 after Ward suffered a fractured hand. Through the next three games, Fenton played nearly 100 percent of the defensive snaps. In Week 5, Bashaud Breeland returned from hi

The Kansas City Chiefs have found a gem in UDFA Tershawn Wharton.

With the addition of running back Le’Veon Bell, what changes are coming to the Kansas City Chiefs backfield moving forward? The New York Jets released running back Le’Veon Bell last Tuesday evening. Over the next 48 hours, rumors were circulating on where Bell would sign. Three teams were on the table between the Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, and the Buffalo Bills. On Thursday morning, the Bills were eliminated from that list. Later that evening, Bell signed a one-year deal with the Chief

Known for limiting big plays, the Kansas City Chiefs failed to live up to their reputation in Week 5. Can they get back on track for the Buffalo Bills? The amount of obstacles the Kansas City Chiefs secondary has overcome this season is remarkable. Bashaud Breeland was suspended for the first four games. Charvarius Ward left the game early in Week 1 with a fractured hand. L’Jarius Sneed left the Week 3 game early with a collarbone injury. Yet, the secondary continued to put up good performances

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins is expected to miss several weeks with a hamstring injury. Who will step up in his absence? After a hot start in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Kansas City Chiefs offense struggled to put anything together in the second half.

The result left fans concerned about the group heading into another year. That concern

We knew it was a matter of time before the NFL would have to deal with its first COVID-19-related issue. While most of the

The Kansas City Chiefs struggled on both sides of the ball against the Los Angeles Chargers. Will those struggles carry over against the Baltimore Ravens? For a game in which most of the country expected a blowout win, the Los Angeles Chargers challenged the Kansas City Chiefs until the very end in Week 2. Rookie quarterback Justin Herbert made his NFL debut last-minute and showcased why he is the quarterback whoshould be starting for Los Angeles. However, Herbert was not a stand-alone reason w

The Kansas City Chiefs will be without cornerback Bashaud Breeland for the first four weeks. What does the defense look like without him? As the season draws closer, the Kansas City Chiefs will submit their final roster on Saturday and play their first regular-season game against the Houston Texans next Thursday night.

Only thi

What will Byron Pringle’s role be in the Chiefs offense in 2020? The Kansas City Chiefs have arguably the best wide receiver room in the NFL. Not only do they have players like Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins leading the way as the top two options, but there is also plenty of depth at the position with exceptional potential. Mecole Hardman enters his second season and looks to be the new third weapon in the offense come 2020. That still leaves players like Byron Pringle, who could see their stock

Khalen Saunders made good strides during the 2019 season. Could he provide more for the Kansas City Chiefs in his second year? At the beginning of the 2019 season, Khalen Saunders was a development project along the defensive line. It appeared as if the Kansas City Chiefs planned for his rookie year to sit and develop, and through the first four weeks of the season, Saunders had zero snaps. Injuries to Chris Jones and Xavier Williams sent Saunders onto the field for the first time in Week 5, a

The Kansas City Chiefs ranked higher than some might think in PFF’s offensive line rankings. The Kansas City Chiefs offensive line had its fair share of struggles throughout the 2019 season. Injuries were the biggest culprit as several starters missed time during the regular season. Left tackle Eric Fisher was the first to miss time after suffering a groin injury during practice before Week 2. He attempted to play the opening drive against the Oakland Raiders Week 2, but would only last four s

Which AFC teams could challenge the Kansas City Chiefs come January? As the Kansas City Chiefs look to “run it back” in 2020, there are several teams poised to take a step forward in the AFC.

Just look at the Cleveland Browns leading up to the 2019 season. Following the change to the playoff structure, there will now be seven playo

Juan Thornhill became an instant building block for the Chiefs in 2019. During the 2019 offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs set out to overhaul the defensive side of the ball with new personnel and coaching staff. After hiring Steve Spagnuolo as defensive coordinator, the team signed veteran safety Tyrann Mathieu right away in free agency. Finding leadership for the defensive side of the ball was crucial early in the offseason, and Mathieu took the job and earned respect at the position early on.
