Kansas City Chiefs: 55-man roster predictions 2.0
By Shade Piper
Special Teams (3)
Kicker: Harrison Butker
Punter: Tommy Townsend
Long Snapper: James Winchester
There is zero competition here… literally, so this one was very easy. Butker and Winchester return to their roles from last season and Townsend will look to replace franchise great Dustin Colquitt. The UDFA out of Florida has big cleats to fill, but the Chiefs have not felt the need to bring in any competition, so it appears that they believe that he has what it takes.

Due to COVID, practice squads are expanded to 16 player, so if it seems like a lot of practice squad guys it is, it is within the limits this season. A couple of notes here are that Fortson and Wharton are predicted to be the weekly practice squad call up players, which also means they will be two of the four protected players.
They other two protected players are likely going to be Williams and Durant. Also Hill is projected to start the season on the roster, but then slide over to the practice squad once Breeland completes his suspension.
