3+ Weeks of Getting Rested & Healthy

[GabyKeepsMeWarm]

Looking at potentially 26 days before we play another game with the bulk of the starters... Pretty effing great, right? Getting Hollywood Brown back has been HUGE. Just in the couple of games, you can see how much his presence opens things up for everyone.

So we know Rashee Rice won't be back in time for the playoffs, good lord, can you imagine a healthy receiving corps of Rice, Brown, Worthy and Hopkins, oh and Kelce at TE? Unstoppable.

But who is next to come back that will help our rotation? I know Chris Jones will be fine. What's the word on Jaylen Watson? Humphries? Uche? Any others have a shot at being back? Or do we even want these guys back?

You're 100% right and yet we know they won't after seeing what they made Jones do last year.

Man that was ****ing dumb. We are lucky it didn't backfire and cost us the Super Bowl.

On the condition he comes back next year. Our young WRs can learn a lot from him.

Sounds good but Andy is coaching this team so I can see him playing Humphries and calling pass plays to see how he does on an island.

Against a team that is #1 sacks per game? I don't think we're going to see much of that.

Hate the broncos but I'd rather they win Saturday against Cincinnati and rest their guys too, turn this into a real exhibition game.

[FloridaMan88]

Wentz + Steele + Skyy Less Wing T offense all game.

It's great to see the Chiefs at 15-1. The offense is much better than it was in 2023. Three good RB, two good TE, and several WR: Worthy, Hopkins, JuJu, Watson, Hollywood, Hardman.

I don't think the salary cap/collective bargaining agreement allow that. I could be wrong.

There are several players that might deserve/need a rest but will dress out and play. Unlike the Covid rosters where you could play several players from the Practice Squad, currently NFL teams can only elevate two players. One of those elevations will be QB Chris Oladokun. A normal game day roster would be 48 players. With a 53-man roster, only a few guys get to sit. Others will have to dress, but Chiefs will limit their play.

If you sit Nick Bolton and Drew Tranquill that leaves Leo Chenal and Cam Jones as your LBs. Might have to use the 2nd PS elevation on this position.

Travis Kelce is sitting but if you also sit Noah Gray, you only have Peyton Hendershot or elevate PS TE Anthony Firkser instead of using it for a LB.

If you sit Hunt and/or Pacheco, that leaves us thin at RB. Yes, we have PS RBs, but only two players can be elevated for the game.

At Offensive line, Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith, Joe Thuney could sit, and we could still field 8 OL for the game. If we also hold out D.J. Humphries that puts us below the NFL rule of 8 OL and reduces our dress out number to 47.

At DL for sure Chris Jones will sit and probably George Karlaftis.

At DB Trent McDuffie and Justin Reid would sit. Maybe Chamarri Conner if he is still dealing with concussion.

It will be an interesting roster to see who sits and who plays.

Great time for some of the guys who don't get many reps to step up. Felix had one nasty sack last week. If he can build off that it would be big. Several young DB's could use the reps too.
