Kansas City is chasing a historic Super Bowl three-peat, but needed reinforcements after a few injuries. Enter a future Hall of Fame wide receiver.
On Wednesday, the general manager woke up with his Kansas City Chiefs in prime position. They’re 6–0, the league’s lone unbeaten team. They’re two games clear in the loss column of everyone in the AFC. And, yet, their situation could be viewed as tenuous.The Chiefs sent a fifth-round selection that could turn into a fourth-rounder to the Tennessee Titans for Hopkins, a 32-year-old receiver coming off a 1,000-yard campaign in 2023 despite catching passes from Will Levis and Ryan Tannehill.
For Kansas City, the move was all about fit after losing both Marquise Brown and Rashee Rice to major injuries earlier this season. Hopkins will play inside, taking over the role which Rice starred in until a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. Once JuJu Smith-Schuster returns from his hamstring injury, expect Hopkins to play all over the field, being used as a chess piece for Patrick Mahomes to deploy.
With Hopkins, the Chiefs now have a triumvirate in Hopkins, Travis Kelce and speedy rookie Xavier Worthy. When Smith-Schuster comes back, he gives them another viable veteran option. Then there’s backup tight end Noah Gray, who has become a real contributor with 14 catches on 15 targets for 185 yards.Kansas City’s offense has been in somewhat of a stagnant state the past year and a half, flailing around without a top receiver.
If they don’t, real questions must be asked about why the unit can’t seem to find the mojo which has largely defined it throughout Mahomes’s tenure.
