Charcandrick West- RB

90 rushes; 460 rush yards; 6 touchdowns; 20 rec; 200 rec yards; 2 touchdowns

With the return of Charles, West will see a drop in his production this season. He will be an explosive option for Reid to turn to when Charles needs a break. West showed this past season that he can be a feature back but with the signing of his new contract he is showing that he is committed to winning with this team. West will get the ball a fair amount in 2016 to provide a different style against some of the best defenses in the NFL from the AFC West.

Jeremy Maclin- WR

96 receptions; 1,108 rec yards; 8 touchdowns

Anyone could see that Maclin was the biggest difference maker for the Chiefs this past season. His immediate rapport that he built with Alex Smith provided big plays and touchdowns that were sorely missed in Kansas City. Maclin will face more double teams this season but he has shown that he can blow past defenses with the amount of sheer work that he puts in.

Maclin will continue to push the limits of what the Chiefs can do offensively and his leadership off the field will only make the rest of the receivers better.
