How will the Kansas City Chiefs' wide receiver room shake out after bringing Mecole Hardman back for the 2024 season?
in free agency, the Chiefs appear to be trusting familiar faces throughout the rest of their WR depth chart. Who will be on the field when KC makes its attempt at a three-peat campaign? Let's take a closer look at Kansas City's pass-catchers.Hollywood Brown, Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice are the clear top trio for KC's receiving corps, but there's an asterisk for a reason.will likely result in a suspension that would cause him to miss some portion of the 2024 season.
Skyy Moore may have the longest leash of the group due to his age and his status as a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, but he has had an underwhelming first two seasons in relation to his draft position. Cutting him before his third NFL season would cement one of the low points in the Chiefs' recent draft evaluations, and it's safe to assume the Chiefs coaches and front office would like to give Moore one more year to force his way to the field.
With all of that being said, I think the "safest" receivers on the roster are likely Brown, Worthy, Rice, Watson and Moore. That leaves two potential spots for the rest of the group, and possibly only one after Rice completes his suspension. Kadarius Toney is the biggest wildcard on the Chiefs' roster. His best moments show flashes of a No. 1 wide receiver. His injuries, mental mistakes and 2023's drop issues look more like a player making his last stand to prove he belongs in the NFL. Toney's ceiling will continue to keep the Chiefs enticed, but he can't feel like his spot is safe, particularly after the addition of Hardman.
Hardman is a known quantity and didn't get much playing time in '24 for either the Jets or Chiefs before catching the. Hardman's free agent market has failed to materialize two offseasons in a row, but he could provide a bit of stability for the group if other players don't show sparks in training camp. Especially while Rice is suspended, Hardman's familiarity with the offense will be a selling point., in a similar vein to Justyn Ross in the past.
