Kansas City Chiefs: Offensive player stat predictions for 2019 season

The 2018 Kansas City Chiefs offense was one for the ages. It was a well oiled machine that shattered franchise records and measured up against some of the best units in league history.

From jaw dropping plays to savvy scheme design, the 2018 Kansas City Chiefs offense was like watching football poetry in motion. Well, poetry injected directly with NOS. Can we expect a repeat performance in 2019? Or could this outfit somehow get even better?

Predicting statistics is very tricky. Injuries, suspensions, regression, emergence of other players, and scheme changes can all bog down (or boost) a players stats. Here, I am going to attempt to predict just what the Chiefs offensive numbers will look like in 2019.

I am going to do this for the projected starters in each unit. That means I’ll break it down into Quarterbacks, Wide Receivers, Running Backs, and Tight Ends. We will take an in depth look at the starters at those postitions, (Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, etc.) and then throw in some production from “misc. players.” The misc. portion will cover the random Gehrig Dieter catch or the inevitable Khalen Saunders touchdown run.

I will start off by predicting Patrick Mahomes‘ stats, then work backwards and assigning yardage based off of what I think his totals will be. Even though I am starting with Mahomes, I will save his slide for last as to not ruin the surprise and end result.

So who is up first? Let’s get this thing rolling with the running backs.
