Kansas City Chiefs: Best Roster In The AFC West?
By Ben Almquist
Wide Receiver
Denver Broncos – Demaryius Thomas/Emmanuel Sanders: Demaryius Thomas may be one of the top five wide receivers in the NFL. He’s a physically dominant player and a tremendous weapon for the Broncos. That’s in addition to Emmanuel Sanders who would be the top wide receiver for at least 15 NFL franchisese. This is an easy one. Rank: 1st
Kansas City Chiefs – Jeremy Maclin/Rod Streater: The Chiefs are still building their wide receiver corps. Jeremy Maclin is a stud, but there isn’t much behind him. While there is some hope around Rod Streater (as well as a number of young players), they simply don’t have the proven production to compete with the rest of this group. Rank: 4th
Oakland Raiders – Amari Cooper/Michael Crabtree: Amari Cooper definitely lived up to the hype in his rookie season. He is clearly a future top tier receiver in the NFL, and that future may be as soon as this year. Michael Crabtree isn’t going to blow you away, but he has had a solid rebound from his days in San Francisco. Rank: 2nd
San Diego Chargers – Keenan Allen/Travis Benjamin: You could make the argument that the Chargers top two receivers are better than the Raiders. It’s a close call, but I have Keenan Allen and Travis Benjamin just behind Cooper and Crabtree. That could easily change this year though. Rank: 3rd
Total Points – DEN: 9 KC: 11 OAK: 10 SD: 10
