Mecole Hardman (abdomen) was placed on injured reserve. Marquez Valdes-Scantling is coming off an illne s. Mahomes sill will throw often, but with tight end Travis Kelce and newcomer second-year wideout Kadarius Toney as the centerpieces.

Mike Williams (ankle) has mi sed two games around a bye. Jalen Guyton (knee) went down in Week 3. This week, tight end Gerald Everett (groin) was added to the mix after the team already put Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) on IR. The Chargers need more of their extra weapons to step up, their top targets to have some impact and Austin Ekeler to take full advantage of another team that can't cover him out of the backfield. Stephen Anderson Jersey Brandon Staley vs. Andy ReidWill the Chargers' coach get aggre sive and pull out many stops to out-coach Reid? The Chargers have been playing gritty, physical football to win more than they have lost in their attrition-lace season. The Chargers might need to just unleash Herbert and let him loose vs. Mahomes. Defensively, they might need to take risks to stop the run and get after Mahomes.Stat that matters146.8. That's how many average rushing yards per game the Chargers are giving up, No. 30 in the league ahead of only the Lions and Texans. Their defensive front is depleted and vulnerable. The Chiefs have thrived being a pa Zion Johnson Jersey s-happy team so far with Mahomes, but committing a little more to speedy and powerful rookie back Isiah Pacheco will be a smart complementary game plan this week. The Chiefs and Chargers are bound to play another tight relatively high-scoring game with Mahomes and Herbert dueling well and the teams overall knowing each other well as division rivals. Should Allen and Williams return, the Chargers will have s real shot winning straight up at home with Herbert. It's still hard to go against Mahomes anywhere now that he's back into unstoppable pa sing form.Chiefs 27, Chargers 23
