Chiefs WR Room

Ever since Tyreek left, the Chiefs haven't had a WR1. For the last two years, it's been WR by committee. In training camp I thought it felt like we had five WR2s. But that's not the case. 

Here's where the room stands right now, in Week 15 2023:

Rashee Rice is WR1

Justin Watson is WR2

Toney is WR3

MVS is WR4

Skyy Moore is WR5

That's their position on the team as of this moment. But where do those players actually fit on a decent offense?

Rashee Rice should be a WR3. The exciting rookie emerging, learning from 2 established guys.

Justin Watson should be a WR4. He can come up with a big play on 3rd down once or twice a game, but he's not a go-to guy.

Toney should be off the team. I'm not joking.

MVS should be a WR5. He's basically Justin Watson with worse hands. Send him deep to keep them honest, should only be used as a decoy.

Skyy Moore should be inactive. If there was an injury above, sure next man up. Otherwise, healthy scratch.

So there you go. Rice is good enough to see consistent snaps. If your WR2, has a hamstring injury, Rice could fill that role for a few weeks. 

Basically we're nicely filling out the WR3, WR4, and WR5 positions. 

Just have two open slots at the top of the room. No biggie.

Look, obviously every fan would want a top 10 receiver on their team. Let's name some guys.

Hill, Jefferson, Kupp, AJ Brown, Amon Ra, Keenan Allen, Diggs, Chase, Deebo, Evans. There's 10 names. 

I'm not even asking for a top 10 guy. 

But an average WR1, someone like Garrett Wilson or Michael Pittman.

And then a WR2 like Tee Higgins or Tyler Lockett.

Two guys would be the difference between getting the bye and not.
