Next to Tyreek, Toney might be the most talented WR we’ve had in a very long time. He’s up there with anyone. If he can stay healthy, he has a chance to have close to 1300 receiving yards and maybe as many as 15 touchdowns. Hopefully our training staff has been able to help with his durability.
Rice is going to end up an upgrade to Juju by game 10.
Skyy Moore flashed the ability to get open almost instantly and outside of punt returns has very dependable hands. I think he ends with 750 or so yards and 5-7 TDs.
MVS is one of the fastest players in the game and teams are going to be putting more focus on the shorter passing game to stop Kelce, Moore and Rice underneath from killing them and that’s going to open up some opportunities for big deep strikes to MVS.
Justyn Ross has been getting a lot of praise, so far. Who knows what kind of impact he could have after having a year with the playbook and his foot testing out very strong this summer. He could get opportunities to shine if one of the top guys goes out for a few games and he shows he can be exactly where they want him yo be.
Richie James is a dependable and underrated player. I actually like his playing style quite a bit and think he’s a good fit here.
Watson had a few decent impact games last year and helped us win some big games. His big play in the playoffs was a great way to start with some energy.
John Ross is very very fast, so there’s that.
This group will also be aided by teams spending resources on defense to stopping Kelce and that’s going to open up tons of single coverages for these guys. Let’s not forget who’s getting them the ball, either.
I honestly think Pat is going to have a 5k 50td season again.
If the group is/stays healthy, he might get close to breaking both records of

Looking at his rookie year all 22 he's still doing that but he needs to get on the same page and gain Mahomes' trust. And stop returning punts.
Why stop returning punts? Because he muffed a couple against the Colts early in his career? Maybe as a returner he is the guy who put us in position to go to the Super Bowl vs the Bengals? That guy looked pretty good. [Reply]

That was my first thought. I don’t remember the last time we had 2 really good wide receivers on the field at the same time. Let alone a solid #3. Which in my mind, outside of an injury riddled Toney, right now we a wide receiver room packed full of #3’s. Veach tried hard to trade for Hopkins. There’s a reason for that. [Reply]

Skyy Moore was stuck behind several others on the depth chart as a rookie, and his impact wasn't as great as many hoped or expected. @MarkTheOverseer writes that in year No. 2, Moore has a clear path to take off and fly in a breakout sophomore season. ⬇️https://t.co/YAFMJEwh5Z

Read this and you can see why. Never forget that Skyy Moore was PFF’s highest rated rookie wide receiver in last year‘s class.
He runs excellent routes and has excellent hands. What more do you want in a slot receiver? [Reply]

He flashed in the Chargers game when Juju was out. If we get this guy we are in business

1 good return doesn't cancel how bad he was last year at it.
And again, we don't need a good returner. We just need sure hands back there. I don't care if a player calls for a fair catch even if they have 15 yards of open space in front of them. Just secure the catch and let the offense handle the rest. [Reply]

Just put 11 guys at the line of scrimmage to make sure they punt it
Once they do just run to the sideline. Don’t risk losing the football. The other team is literally trying to give it to you [Reply]

Lol, you guys realize that neither of those things are remotely possible, right?
I mean, Coach Toub just said a couple days ago that he’s going to return punts/kicks just as he’s always done. His exact words were “you can’t score TDs if you don’t return the ball.”
Which is exactly what we want from a SB winning coach/unit anyway.
Get ‘em, Toub. Some of us get it, even if some don’t. [Reply]

2024/2025 goals. Once Rice/Toney/Skyy are operating at peak efficiency…but those kinds of numbers require all world performances across the board in every game and this year is too early to expect that.
I do think 5k/50 is a realistic goal with with setting a new record for yards and TDs in a season within reach if things go well in terms of health at the impact positions and Rice becoming a new wrinkle down the stretch. [Reply]
It's remarkable that we led the league in offense last year with the WRs and OTs we had. The impact on our WRs of a significant upgrade at OT is under appreciated. [Reply]

When Alex smith is my qb? Absolutely. Try to steal tds

Hill had some issues with hamstrings etc his first few years. The Chiefs know which exercises worked to keep him on the field. Hopefully, he can stay on the field more this year.

Huh? We have kept players on our roster to just play special teams. Those are wasted spots. Special teams is dying. For every Toney punt return in the SB there are 100 returns called back due to block in the back, holding etc.
With our GOAT, we dont need to concern ourselves with starting 15-20 yards further back. Makes no difference to Mahomes. [Reply]
