onejayhawk Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 The final regular season game. Expect to see a lot of players used very gingerly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 With the division won and Herbert out, who should we play and who should we sit? Pacheco, Kelce, and Rice have good shots at 1000 yards. Chris Jones needs half a sack to make double digits again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuvious Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I think they definitely force feed Kelce a target or two. A few designed things right out of the gate to try to get him the yards, then sit him. The other guys I'm unsure of. Pretty sure Jones hits an incentive at 10 sacks. But that's a bit harder to manufacture, and might not be worth playing him the whole game to try to get that. Also hard to gauge the team's relationship with him on something like that. Maybe on that one they'd rather save the money, given his choices to start the season. I don't think there's money on the line for Rice or Pacheco, so I would imagine you don't bother worrying about those. Otherwise, I think you sit anyone fighting any nagging injuries (Kelce post-1k, Pacheco, Sneed, Smith, etc.) Sit anyone really crucial to team success (Mahomes, Bolton, Reid, McDuffie, etc.) Most of the OL pretty much will have to go, just with how the depth chart is structured right now, sadly. Though more time for Morris at least is good Give Perine as many snaps as he can take. Let FAU, Thompson, and Herring get a shot at edge. See if Williams and Watson can lead a young group with Conner, Jones, and Boye-Doe getting time. Work Hardman and Ross back in at WR. Couldn't care less whether MVS gets 0 catches on the field or 0 catches on the sideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingseanjohn Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I’d say force feed Kelce the 1st drive to reach 1000. That’s a historical stat and not just an incentive bonus. Anyone that would reasonably reach an incentive if they played should just get paid. Priority should be going into the playoffs as healthy as possible.

onejayhawk Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Mahomes is out. Kelce may play long enough to get 1000 yards. it's doubtful that Pop and Rice have a chance for theirs. All that said, this article details a few of the players who will get playing time in the finale. Notable are 1st round pick DE Felix Anudike-Uzomah and noted UDFA WR Justyn Ross. FAU has been sidelined by the emergence of Charles Omenihu. Ross has struggled with both injuries and off-field problems. Both should get full PT this weekend. Not mentioned in the article are S Chamarri Conner and CB Nic Jones, both of whom have been ST contributors and should get regular snaps. https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/young_chiefs_players_to_watch_for_in_regular_season_finale/s1_16880_39769583 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMAW_KSU Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Rice is already listed as out, so no 1000 yards for him. But if he wouldn’t have 15 drops he’d already be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingseanjohn Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I’m a little sad Kelce is out and he’ll miss out on the streak. But after seeing LaPorta go down, I’m quite ok with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 It was the right choice, and I’m sure Kelce was down with it. He must be exhausted and hurting if he can’t do another 16 today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefs_5627 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) I'm guessing that's why Niang doesn't play much, that dude looks 400 lbs and getting put down often 👀 Edited January 7 by Chiefs_5627 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Short-field TDs are always a good way to start a game. Not scoring a TD from inside the 5 yard line, not so much. Ross has one catch on three targets. Mecole has three catches on four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
