2. Kansas City Chiefs
As the Kansas City Chiefs are surprisingly 5-5, the team might need to overhaul its entire backfield. Isiah Pacheco hasn’t been the same since suffering from an injury from last season, which caused him to miss several games. With Kareem Hunt set to become a free agent in March, the starting duties as a running back in Kansas City are up for grabs. Perhaps Brashard Smith might be the next man up, but he’s going through growing pains.
If anything else, the Chiefs might settle for Mixon since the 2026 cap space isn’t working in their favor.
