PFM Impact on Kansas City Chiefs

Josh SimmonsMeaningful impact

Kansas City will be without its starting left tackle, forcing the Chiefs to cover Patrick Mahomes' blind side with replacement personnel. That puts more pressure on the rest of the offensive line against Miami's edge rush.

Roster StrengthOffense Rating
Cooper McDonaldMeaningful impact

McDonald's multi-game absence removes a starting linebacker from a defense that leaned on its depth in Week 1. Kansas City will have to redistribute those second-level snaps for at least four games.

Roster StrengthDefense Rating
Chamarri ConnerMeaningful impact

Conner's absence takes a starting safety out of Kansas City's Week 1 secondary. It is a real defensive-depth hit, but one missed game is not enough by itself to change the broader Team Score.
