I look back and see how our offense changed when Watkins and LDT got hurt. We were still productive but it was much more of a struggle. Then we lost Kareem Hunt. More and more was being dumped on the back of Mahomes.
Our offense is still great but it would be much smoother with a strong #2 receiver.
One positive about losing Watkins was how it sped up the development of Mahomes. He had to learn how to carry our team very early on.
