After hosting division rivals Denver Broncos, the Raiders go on the road to play another division rival, the Kansas City Chiefs.

While tight end Travis Kelce, who is always neck-and-neck with Raiders tight end Darren Waller, is still around for the Chiefs,

The Dolphins immediately signed Hill to a four-year, $120 million contract extension including $72.2 million guaranteed.

Sir old reliable Kelce will still be a threat pretty much anywhere in the field.

He’s supported by two wide receiver pick-ups during free agency, Ju Ju Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Valdes-Scantling was the Green Bay Packers deep shot weapon while Smith-Schuster lines up in the slot 80% of the time.

Essentially, I see a Chiefs team going for a small ball approach to reliably move the ball down the field.
