Kansas City’s third preseason game shapes as a microcosm of the upcoming season: the Chiefs will test the top unit’s rhythm while juggling a shifting depth chart behind them. Mahomes and Kelce are in the spotlight, but the coaching staff wants to see edge progress and line chemistry more than fireworks. The staff is treating this as a Week 1 rehearsal, with up-front bets on two-back sets and a rotation that prioritizes the first unit’s sharpness over extended reps for backups. Fantasy implications loom as Sky Moore and Rashee Rice push for heavy targets, Xavier Worthy minutes rise, and the Chiefs monitor health on Keenan Allen-adjacent targets and Chargers’ wideouts. The running back room remains fluid, with potential trades and committee usage on the agenda, including wings like Bree Hall/Brian Robinson chatter and the possibility of a true lead-punch threat if the roster moves materialize. Total focus is on getting ready for week one, with the defense still in flux and the rookies craving meaningful snaps to prove roster-worthiness.
