 9. Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs finally signed a number one wide receiver. The Jeremy Maclin-Andy Reid reunion will work wonders for the Chiefs offense.

Alex Smith has a whole bunch of new toys to play with. Maclin, Travis Kelce, Jamaal Charles, and Knile Davis could be used in all different kinds of ways. Not having a clear-cut number one wide receiver is what killed them last season. Not one wide receiver on the roster recorded a touchdown.

The Chiefs managed to keep their defense in tact by franchise tagging Justin Houston. Their start studded defense will be one to be reckoned with. Houston may even break Michael Strahan’s single season sack record in 2015. He was only half a sack away last season.

The Chiefs offensive woes limited them to a 9-7 record last year. It’s going to be interesting to see what they can do now that those issues are fixed.
