The 4 biggest questions facing the Chiefs at the start of the offseason

Who will be the Chiefs top wide receiver?

As long as Travis Kelce is interested in playing, he’s going to occupy the role as the primary pass catcher on the Chiefs. But that doesn’t mean the team doesn’t need a wide receiver to step up and provide another strong target who can move the chains and make defenses pay for honing in too much on Kelce.

Coming into a new year, the Chiefs have reasons for both optimism and pessimism around their current stable of wide receivers. Kadarius Toney has the sort of skill set that Tyreek Hill exhibited for years as the team’s best wideout. That said, he also has been injury-prone since entering the NFL. Skyy Moore could be an exciting young option to create new mismatches, but he’s mostly untested after sitting most of his rookie year. Marquez Valdes-Scantling has the complete package to dominate with length and deep speed, but inconsistency was the name of the game in his first season in K.C.

While those three are in place, there’s room for someone to play the role of a versatile, physical wideout in Andy Reid’s offense, the space occupied by JuJu Smith-Schuster last year. The Chiefs could bring back Smith-Schuster or go another route, but what’s important here is for the Chiefs to find someone (and maybe two someones) to bolster the position. Will they make a major trade? Will they sign a veteran? Will they bring back a familiar face? Those are the questions facing the Chiefs.
