The Chiefs have their stars, but championships are often decided by the players nobody is talking about.

After discussing the AJ Brown trade to New England and what it means for Kansas City, we dive into the under-the-radar Chiefs who need to take a major step forward in 2026. From the secondary and linebacker room to the offensive line, tight end group, and wide receiver depth chart, we break down the players who could have the biggest impact on whether the Chiefs return to contention this season.

Who are the biggest X-factors on the roster? Which young players are ready for larger roles? And which position groups still have the most unanswered questions?
