Right now seems to be prediction time in the NFL. Can this team win the Super Bowl? Will these players win the quarterback battle? Which rookies will surprise?

It’s no different for the Chiefs as they have many questions surrounding the upcoming season. Will Marcus Peters make an impact during his rookie campaign? What will the offensive line look like when the season starts? Can the Chiefs hang with the AFC West’s best?

None of that will be answered until the season is underway, which makes it the time of predictions. There is no way to tell right now if a wide receiver will actually catch a touchdown (they better), or if new additions to the offensive line can open holes for one of the best running backs in the game, but it’s fun to guess.

Some articles on this site and around the web tackles those questions.

"My initial reaction is probably not. I mean, a tight end over 1,000 yards? That seems unlikely, especially in the Chiefs offense. Not many receivers have hit 1,000 yards under Andy Reid so a tight end doing it doesn’t seem likely.But…"
