This Saturday, December 21, the Kansas City Chiefs (13-1) are scheduled to host the Houston Texans (9-5) at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
This matchup could prove to be challenging for the Chiefs. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is playing through an ankle strain and the Texans defense excels at applying pressure to their opponents.
Chiefs Wire is conducting a game of hypotheticals this week called “Gimme Him.”
If Kansas City could trade for any player on Houston’s roster this week with nothing in return, which Texan would have the greatest impact within the Chiefs lineup?
Wide receiver Nico Collins has stood out, proving himself to be a great asset to Houston’s air attack by making six touchdowns and totaling 849 yards on 53 catches. He has impressive control of the ball, having no fumbles in 2024.
Kansas City already has a solid receiving corps; however, in this campaign, explosive plays have been more limited. The Chiefs’ leading receiver is tight end Travis Kelce, who has logged 709 yards on 84 catches and only scored two touchdowns.
Kansas City will have to focus on containing Collins in Saturday’s matchup, a loss in Week 16 could cost the Chiefs the number one seed in the AFC.
