The Kansas City Chiefs lost one of the best, most dynamic wideouts in the game this offseason. Tyreek Hillās departure left a big void on their receiving corps, and he wonāt be an easy guy to replace.
To try and do that, the Chiefs signed JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and drafted Skyy Moore and Justyn Ross, whoās out for the season. Thatās some steep competition to join Travis Kelce and Mecolme Hardman.
Thatās why, even though Smith-Schuster or Valdez-Scantling should lead the race to absorb Hillās targets, Patrick Mahomes advises you not to draft them early in your fantasy football league, as the Chiefs will spread the football week in and week out.
NFL News: Patrick Mahomes Warns Fantasy Football Players About Chiefsā Balanced Offense
āThe biggest thing is thereās going to be a different player every single game that has the big game,ā Mahomes told ESPN. āItās not going to be just necessarily Tyreek and Travis [Kelce] every single week, where itās like one or the other having a big game or both. Every single week, itās going to be someone different.ā
āSo Iām sorry to all you fantasy football guys. Itās going to come from everywhere, so youāre going to have to kind of choose the right guy every week,ā the QB added.
Mahomes connected with 10 different receivers throughout the preseason, and he believes thatāll make them tough to predict. However, he acknowledges Travis Kelce will still do most of the heavy lifting in the passing game:
āItās going to be hard for teams to game plan against,ā Mahomes added. āObviously, Travis is going to probably have a lot of catches. Thatās just who he is. Other than that, itās going to come from the whole group and I think the guys have kind of embraced that. Thatās what you want on a team and as an offense.ā
The Chiefs still have the potential to have one of the most explosive offenses in the game. Theyāll be a Super Bowl contender for as long as Mahomes stays healthy, but it sure will be interesting to see how they fare withoutCheetah.
