Devil's advocate here. Why are you leaning McMillan? Because he has been with Baker longer than Hopkins has been with Mahomes? If my options are a rookie with 6 career catches from his QB vs a surefire HOF'er with no catches from his QB, I'm leaning the HOF'er.
McMillan is likely assuming the Godwin role and got 8 targets last week. Not much competition for targets in a game where they’re most likely going to have to keep up with Atlanta. KC is playing a Vegas team that has had a carousel at QB and are without any real offensive threats. Not sure how much they are going to have to pass today. Just my initial thoughts on the decision.
yep. I suspected as much, but I'm sad hes scoring that while on my bench. however, I wasnt about to start him ahead of London or AJ brown this week. turns out that was the wrong call. what can I say.....
I didn’t have a choice with Pickens on a bye and Amari out with an injury.
You asked?
Mooorrrreeee!
Hat Trick?
Sigh. Would have been nice.
Chiefs seemed unprepared for what Buffalo attacked them with. It's like the Bills saw all the deficiencies of the last 4-5 weeks and put them all together in this game.
Took a little beating saying Hopkins would finish 3rd in targets.
As he should, he's still a #2 caliber WR. KC was just using him stupidly.
I mostly agree. but I will also point out that it is actually hard on a WR to be traded mid season like this. Normally to start a year the WR gets a good long time to establish that chemistry with the QB before the first down of the regular season. to be traded mid season like this usually is a stat killer for the WR. occasionally the chemistry is instant, but in most cases you need to work on it. I just simply dont feel there was enough time for this to happen in KC.
I mostly agree, but it was weird that his usage/production went down the longer he was on the team. His best game for KC was his 2nd.
I get where you are coming from.
He's 33 next season.
I would keep Brown over Hopkins, who I think should retire along with Kelce.
Yeah, that could be said about most players.
Brown will cost more and with KC having limited cap that may be a factor. They will probably add someone mid to late in draft and resign Justin Watson for the millionth time. They may be looking for a new TE as well.
fixed that for you.
I disagree with the bolded a bit. I think having a solid veteran WR is actually a very good investment when you have an inexperienced QB, and young WRs. I wouldn't want a WR room full of 33-year-olds, but 1 is perfectly fine.
I'm gonna go a little hot take here, but I think no team should be valuing Brown very much. He's always been overrated in my opinion and is probably overmatched as anything more than a #3 WR. I think even at 33, Hopkins brings a lot more to the table.
I don’t have a problem if they have a seasoned and savvy guy WR on the roster. But I would prefer a guy that’s been there, knows the system, and doesn’t cost a ton. Hopkins doesn’t meet that first part and who knows how much Hopkins would want (and for how long). If they want a veteran presence on how to act like a professional that knows the play book, they have that in Bourne. I’ve heard plenty of talk about trading for Kupp. I think I would prefer Kupp over Hopkins if the price is right. Not sure he’s worth $20M a year, though.
We'll always have that rookie debut game to reminisce over. 4-147-2 (47, 83).
sometimes its not about that.
