This guy was open all night. Protection issues prevented him from going off like Watkins in Week 1.
In particular, this guy was open for a deep bomb in one of these, with great separation.
I think we got a Watkins replacement.
Chiefs fans may want some good news this week, so let's talk Byron Pringle. Stepping into Watkins' role on short notice, he saw the 2nd most snaps at WR and looked the best

Pringle looked pretty damn good in that Colts game last year as a #2. Not sure how often he got to show himself off after that game, as I don’t feel he was getting a lot of targets once Reek, Sammy and the gang were all back together.
He’s definitely not a slot receiver type, so if anything he could fill the #2 void opposite Reek once Sammy leaves after this next season. Hardman can stay in the slot where he can be most effective. Would love to see Pringle get a shot at the #2 next year.
And the Chiefs are gonna need some ‘cheap’ offensive weapons when Mahomes gets his new record contract. Reek is not cheap, nor will Kelce be (assuming extended contract). Hardman will still have 2 cheap years of control left. Would be nice to get a big contribution from Pringle, who will be even cheaper. Gotta start finding spots to save money and losing Sammy’s cap # and replacing with Pringle would certainly help the cause. [Reply]

Check out Pringle's block that sprung Williams' TD run in the SB. [Reply]

I didn't think so. He got yds, sure. But no WR wqs getting any separation at all. They played single covg that game and blanketed us. Mahomes really played alot better game than most ppl think even though we lost. He was slinging it in tight windows all game. Sammy and Tyreek are just so important. [Reply]

That's why Pringle is the perfect complement to Tyreek.
They're not gonna play man with Tyreek on the field.
Pringle can sit down in the zones and use his big body to box out. [Reply]
