Given their WR struggles, the Chiefs couldn’t afford to keep rostering a WR who doesn’t actually play WR. Plenty of offensive contributors who can also help out on special teams.
The #Chiefs have waived WR Nikko Remigio.

Josh Downs is being scouted by many solely on his size and not on his abilities. The Colts utilized him poorly at times and bad QB play held him back. He can win outside versus man/press — he’s not simply a slot merchant. He can do damage in the intermediate areas, 11-25 yards.

The Bar for WR is not real high for KC at the moment, and you never know how mid-season trades will pan out, but I would think finding a player who is a good fit for the offense is at least a step in the right direction for getting things on track this year.

Why the Chiefs traded for Josh Downs in one chart. The defense rests, your honor. Via @FantasyPtsData

Josh Downs is the best all-around technical receiver the Chiefs have had post-Tyreek by a country mile.

Hallelujah!!! A wide receiver who can actually separate. Thank you, Brett Veach! Didn’t even cough up a 3rd and if he fits in you re-sign since Josh Downs will want to stay with Pat. Well done.
Trade! The Chiefs are acquiring WR Josh Downs and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Colts for 2027 fourth-round and fifth-round picks, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
Kansas City lands a receiver at the buzzer, while Indianapolis keeps loading up for the future.

Total loser move by the Bolts. Why send a good player to a divisional rival?

If you look past the penalties, as a pass blocker he’s soooo much better than Jaylon Moore. Pat would be safer for sure.
Would you want the #Chiefs to send a late Day 3 pick for Jawaan Taylor?
He'd be the best pass protecting tackle on the active roster and provide depth. But also he was called for a false start this week.

I really, REALLY hope this doesn’t mean Josh Downs is staying in Indy.
Trade! The Colts are sending six-time Pro Bowl WR Keenan Allen to the 49ers for a 2027 sixth-round pick, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.

A really confusing offense. Sometimes you wanna bleach your eyes, yet they find a way to matriculate the ball down the field. Tend to think it’s mostly Pat and K9 being demigods.
The Chiefs had a 99th percentile success rate on offense today against the Jets.
It was the 4th-best game by any team this season, based on success rate.
Or the 4th-worst defensive game by any team this season if you're the Jets.

Good news, Jaylon Moore! You will not have to enter the witness relocation program for your safety!
#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes underwent an MRI following today’s win and sources say the tests did not reveal a major injury.
Mahomes’ elbow strain/sprain will be monitored over the next few days for pain and swelling. But so far, so good. Mahomes did go back in the game.

Several tight ends picked up QB sneak first downs today, but Kim Jong Reid will tell you it’s simply not possible!

Andy Reid gave us the most half-assed, ill-prepared quarterback sneak ever and then told us to shut up about it. Completely unserious behavior for a head coach who needs to take his short-yardage futility much more seriously.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid on the QB sneak w/ Justin Fields: "You guys asked for it. We gave it to you. It didn't work. How do you feel? ... Those are hard to practice. We've got to make sure we get the snap down..."
