The Kansas City Chiefs are 5-1 through six weeks but have yet to look like the team that won the Super Bowl last season, especially offensively<\/a>, though there have been flashes.<\/p>\n

Those flashes have been too far and few between to count on, though, leading ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano to suggest the Chiefs explore this trade<\/a> for Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.<\/p>\n

Insider Suggests Chiefs Target Broncos’ Jerry Jeudy in Trade<\/h2>\n

Chiefs get:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Jerry Jeudy<\/p>\n

Broncos get:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Third-round pick<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Broncos need picks, and Jeudy might need a change of scenery,\u201d Graziano wrote on October 18. \u201cHe has a more complete skill set than Marquez Valdes-Scantling and more experience than the Chiefs’ other wideouts. Kansas City seems to need someone who can threaten a defense down the field while Rashee Rice, Skyy Moore and Justyn Ross work their way into their roles.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow realistic is it? The Broncos might not want to deal him in the division, and his nearly $13 million guaranteed salary for 2024 might be an issue for the Chiefs. But it’s more likely than Davante Adams, I would think, and at some point the Broncos are going to start moving some veterans for picks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kansas City\u2019s leading wide receiver through six weeks is rookie Rashee Rice.<\/p>\n

Rice is coming off a four-reception, 72-yard performance in Week 6. He has 21 receptions for 245 yards and two touchdowns on 28 targets so far this season.<\/p>\n

That is just three more targets and four more receptions than the next closest wideout, Kadarius Toney, but he has just 92 yards to this point. The good news is that Toney has seemingly put his issues with drops<\/a> from the season opener behind him. And there is a belief that Rice’s role will only continue to grow.<\/p>\n
