The Chiefs are back to the business. They had rest in their bye week. So far, the season has been good. The team is undefeated. All eyes are on them! After winning back-to-back Super Bowls, they are going for a three-peat. Recently ESPN released the Chiefs’ depth chart. You would be shocked to see who was ranked behind Travis Kelce.

There are some anomalies there. It feels like so. Let’s explore what their team looks like in the key departments.

Travis Kelce is the starter TE for the Chiefs

As expected, the veteran is the starting tight end for the team. Noah Gray comes to the 2nd place. However, there is a twist in the 3rd and 4th positions. Rookie Jared Wiley has been ranked ahead of Jody Fortson. Though Wiley out-snapped the latter in the week 5 matchup against the Saints, Fortson also caught a pass while playing for the special team.

The Chiefs are deploying 3 WR – 1 TE offense schemes, In the WR department, Xavier Worthy, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Justin Watson are the starters. Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore are the backup WRs. Among the injured receivers, Marquise Brown is ranked 2nd, while Rashee Rice and Jaaron Hayek are in 3rd place. The team is expecting all three to become fit soon, especially Rice and Brown, as they have the game experience.

Kareem Hunt is the starting running back for the Chiefs. The TEs following him are Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Samaje Perine, and Carson Steele. In the week 5 game against the Saints, Hunt rushed 27 times for 102 yards with a touchdown. Hence, he looks in premier form.

Last but the most important position has an obvious choice. Patrick Mahomes is the number one signal caller. Carson Wentz is the backup for them. However, Chiefdom wouldn’t want him to take center stage.

Now that we have discussed the offense, let’s check what their defense looks like in this depth chart.

Chiefs have 3 questionable RDEs

Though Mike Danna has been placed as the starter, he has been marked questionable for the week 7 game against the 49ers. Charles Omenihu and BJ Thompson are at 3rd and 4th, but they are also in the questionable category. The only right defensive end confirmed is the end position holder Felix Anudike-Uzomah.

The Chiefs defensive scheme is 4 LBs – 3 DEs. In the linebacker department, Drue Tranquill, Nick Bolton, and Leo Chenal are the starting LBs. Jack Cochrane and Cam Jones are in the 2nd and 3rd positions.

With kickers like Harrison Butker in the safety teams, the Chiefs are set for the season.
