RDE: Alex Okafor

Similar to the second defensive tackle spot, I expect the Chiefs to use a heavy rotation here. Okafor makes sense as the starter seeing as he started opposite Clark for most of the season. He produced five sacks, five tackles for loss and 22 tackles in nine games started

Right now, we don’t quite know where he stands in his recovery from a torn pec. Assuming the recovery and rehab goes well, he should be in line to earn the starting job again in 2020.
