3 Chiefs’ non-wide receivers who will help catch passes in 2023

The announcement of DeAndre Hopkins signing with the Tennessee Titans on Sunday eliminated any smoke that had started to surface about him and the Kansas City Chiefs possibly having mutual interest.

In an offseason that saw JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman sign free-agent deals with other teams, the Chiefs signed Richie James and drafted Rashee Rice. The wide receiver unit has question marks, and players such as Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore will be under heavy scrutiny throughout the season if they cannot perform.

Thankfully for the Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, head coach Andy Reid is among the league's most creative play-callers at distributing the ball in the passing game to positions other than wide receiver.
