This year, we've got some familiar faces from the Chiefs expected to show up, but also some serious talent from their opponents.

He had a monster year in 2025, leading the league in receiving yards with 1,793. He also pulled in 119 catches for 10 touchdowns, earning him first team all pro and pro bull nods, plus the offensive player of the year award.
