1. Kansas City Chiefs
After a slow start to the season, it’s safe to say the Kansas City Chiefs are back. Patrick Mahomes is playing his best football since 2022, Rashee Rice looks like his old self, and the defense is stopping opposing offenses. Andy Reid’s squad is firing on all cylinders, but there’s always room for improvement. While most of the roster is stacked, the running back room could use some work.
Isiah Pacheco is a fine starter when healthy, but you can do a lot better. Pacheco is week-to-week with a MCL injury, and with Kareem Hunt showing his age and Brashard Smith not doing much of anything, the Chiefs should consider a Tony Pollard trade. Pollard would easily be the best running back in this offense and has the ability to make plays as both a runner and a receiver. While he probably wouldn’t be an unquestioned workhorse, he would upgrade the team’s biggest weakness.
