It feels hard to believe that the Kansas City Chiefs are still in a position where they are looking to find a long-term answer at wide receiver. The Chiefs have taken plenty of swings at the position since Tyreek Hill walked out the door, and so far, it’s netted them Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy—two quality players who both have some weaknesses in their games. Jalen Royals is still a total unknown, and that’s really all that’s left after the 2025 season, with the future unknown for Tyquan Thornton, Marquise Brown, and JuJu Smith-Schuster.
The Chiefs had a very clear weakness in the passing game in 2025: an inability to beat man coverage.
