Offensive line (9):

Depth Player
1 Eric Fisher
2 Martinas Rankin
3 Austin Reiter
4 Laurent Duvernay-Tardif
5 Mitchell Schwartz
6 Andrew Wylie
7 Nick Allegretti
8 Mike Remmers
9 Lucas Niang

I shaved an offensive lineman off of this group. I think this could be a year where the Chiefs carry fewer than 10 offensive linemen. There is a provision in the new CBA that allows for teams to keep an extra offensive lineman available if one is knocked out of the game.

For now, I have Martinas Rankin penciled in as the starter at left guard. I tried to get Eric Fisher to give me a hint about who he might play next to this season, but he didn’t have any clear indication ahead of training camp. He did have effusive praise for Stefen Wisniewski and specifically mentioned the fact that he was a veteran. That leads me to believe that we might be underrating the possibility that Mike Remmers steps in and plays left guard for the Chiefs this season.
