The Chiefs are surprisingly a possible destination for star Bills' wide receiver Stefon Diggs, at least according to the newest betting odds released by DraftKings Sportsbook.
While the Bills are heavy favorites to keep Diggs, there have been grumblings about his happiness in Buffalo and DraftKings has the Chiefs tied for the second-best odds alongside the Houston Texans.
Could the Chiefs actually poach Diggs from one of their biggest rivals?

The Chiefs are +1000 on DraftKings' latest update, far behind the Bills at -300. A $10 bet on the Chiefs would profit $100 if Diggs comes to Kansas City, while you'd need to bet $30 to win $10 on the Bills. That makes the Chiefs a long-shot, but crazier things have happened.
Widely regarded as one of the best receivers in the league, Diggs would be a natural fit with a Chiefs' roster lacking a true No. 1 receiver. Rashee Rice looks well on his way, but it's tantalizing to think about how much better he could be with Diggs commanding the defense's attention, let alone the impact it could have on Travis Kelce's production too.
Diggs had his least productive season in his Buffalo tenure this year and really struggled in the second half, failing to eclipse 100 yards a single time after Week 5. That being said, he still caught 107 passes for 1,183 yards and 8 TDs, proving he can lead a team as a top option.
He's under contract, so the Chiefs would need to complete a trade with the Bills to acquire him. After the draft-day trade that landed the Chiefs Patrick Mahomes, as well as the team moving ahead of Buffalo to snag Trent McDuffie, I'd be surprised if the Bills were willing to do business.
But if Diggs demands out and forces their hand? Things could get mighty interesting, indeed.
