2. Daniel Sorensen

Daniel Sorensen had a really rough go of it last weekend and simply shouldn’t have been asked to cover Darren Waller at any point of the game. Sorensen is a nice special teams player and has had his moments defensively, but Chiefs fans are definitely ready to have a replacement for him.

The Chiefs are fortunate to have two other nice options at safety, but Sorensen is someone that continues to see opportunities despite some big time struggles. A nice performance in Week 6 would do wonders for his stock amongst Chiefs fans.

1. Ben Niemann

This could be just all of the linebackers as a whole, but Ben Niemann is the one that most Chiefs fans are constantly yelling at while watching the game. Niemann has a habit of making a big play when it’s needed the most whether it’s a sack or recovered fumble to keep him out of the doghouse, but there was none of that last week.

Niemann struggles both against the run and against the pass yet continues to find himself in a position where he’s asked to do both. He’s really on thin ice with Chiefs fans and has been for awhile, so a good performance against the Bills would be a welcomed sight for everyone in Chiefs Kingdom.

Hopefully we see good games from each of these five players.
