3. DeAndre Hopkins

So far, DeAndre Hopkins has played three games with the Chiefs and it has been a mixed bag, even discounting his first game as a Chief since he hadn't been fully integrated into the offense yet. In that game, Hopkins had two catches on three targets for 29 yards.

The following week, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Hopkins put together a game that was reminiscent of his days in Houston. He finished his day against the Buccaneers with eight catches on nine targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns. Hopkins's performance against the Buccaneers got people excited for the rest of the season.

Alas, Hopkins had a rough day this past week against the Broncos. Hopkins finished his day with four catches on five targets for 56 yards. Although Hopkins was matched up against one of the league's best cornerbacks in Patrick Surtain II, you'd expect him to find his way open more often. Yet, he wasn't able to.

Luckily, Buffalo doesn't have a cornerback as prolific as Surtain. Their top cornerback is Rasul Douglas, who Hopkins should be able to take advantage of. If Hopkins can get back on track against the Bills, the Chiefs will have no issues winning.
