WR2: Sammy Watkins

For now, Watkins remains the No. 2 receiver in Kansas City. He’s still got a big target on his back because of his $21 million salary-cap hit during 2020. He could be a candidate to be traded or released. Brett Veach could also choose to extend his contract, spreading out his cap hit over the life of a new deal.

Watkins proved his value during the playoffs, with 288 yards and one touchdown over the course of all three games. Without Watkins, the Chiefs likely don’t hoist the Lombardi in Super Bowl LIV.
