6. Kansas City Chiefs
2020 rank: 1 | 2019 rank: 2This is the lowest arsenal ranking for the Chiefs in the Patrick Mahomes era, in which his weapons have previously come in first, second and first again. The drop-off comes after Travis Kelce produced arguably the greatest season by a tight end in league history and Tyreek Hill chipped in with 1,276 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns. Nobody -- not the Seahawks, not the Vikings, not anybody -- had a better one-two punch of receiving weapons than the Chiefs did a year ago, and they're both back for 2021.
Everything else doesn't look quite as good. The earlier versions of these teams had Kareem Hunt, and while Clyde Edwards-Helaire was expected to be instantly impactful as Kansas City's primary running back, the LSU product was mostly anonymous as a rookie. Mecole Hardman didn't make any sort of second-year leap and might top out as nothing more than a downfield burner. Sammy Watkins is gone -- the oft-injured receiver couldn't be counted on for full seasons of work, but the Chiefs only brought in one replacement in rookie fifth-round pick Cornell Powell. Kansas City would have arguably the league's worst depth chart at wide receiver or tight end if it lost Hill or Kelce.
5 through 1-Vikings, Browns, Titans, Cowboys and the Buccaneers
