1. Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs are stacked in the pass-catching department. Second-year quarterback Patrick Mahomes is entering a great offense with a ton of options to throw the ball to. What makes the Chiefs even better is that every season there seems to be that possibility that one guy breaks out and has a huge season.

That could be Marcus Kemp, Demarcus Robinson or Byron Pringle. Regardless of who it is, the Chiefs have a good unit of guys that could turn from the best in the AFC West into the best in football, if they already aren’t.

Tyreek Hill is one of the best young receivers in the game and can make magic happen for the offense at any moment. Whether he is going deep or catching a check-down pass and taking it for another 50 yards, Hill is no stranger to big plays.

Adding Sammy Watkins this offseason was huge. Watkins is a first-option kind of receiver and is going to thrive with other weapons on the Chiefs. We may see the best season of Watkins young career as a member of the Chiefs.

Chris Conley is a solid third option that will also thrive from the added focus on the other pass catchers on the team.

To round it all off, the Chiefs have arguably the best receiving tight end in football, Travis Kelce. If it is not Kelce it is Rob Gronkowski and even that gap has become narrow.

Kelce has 3900 yards and 22 touchdowns over the last four seasons, which is just insane for a tight end. Because of Kelce and the rest of the supporting cast, the Chiefs sit pretty with the best pass catchers in the AFC West.
