The Chiefs Continue to Add Exciting Fast Wide Receivers, But Is the Patrick Mahomes Effect Enough to Revive Marquise Brown’s Career?
Image Credit: Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire. Pictured: Patrick Mahomes.

Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore, Mecole Hardman, and Marquez Valdez-Scantling are just a few of the names we have seen propped up over the past few seasons under the pretense that being part of an offense led by Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid could, should, and would take their games to a higher level. In 2023, we finally saw one of those bets pay off as Rashee Rice came on late in the season to help deliver playoff glory to fantasy managers who stayed patient with him over the first half of the season. Now, the Chiefs have signed Marquise Brown to a one-year, $7 million contract. Brown is the latest receiver to see his ADP jump due to the Mahomes effect, as he appears to be a Frankenstein of the qualities — both positive and negative — that have been characteristic of the Chiefs’ recent misses at WR. (Toney’s draft pedigree, Hardman’s short-area speed, Valdez-Scantling’s ability to take the top off of defenses, and, of course, we can’t leave out the drops.) Will being a member of the Chiefs’ offense see Brown live up to the potential we saw from him earlier in his career, or are we in store for another disappointing season from a player who steamed up draft boards after he landed in Kansas City?

Can Chuba Hubbard Remain an RB1 Once Jonathon Brooks is Active on Game Days?

Chuba Hubbard has faced plenty of opposition during his time with the Carolina Panthers before operating as their clear lead back to start the 2024 season. When Hubbard was drafted in fourth round of the 2021 draft, the Panthers already had all-world running back Christian McCaffrey entrenched as starter. When McCaffrey missed time with injury in Hubbard’s first year, the rookie performed adequately, but didn’t
