The AFCW has five-time Pro Bowler Trai Turner, four-time Pro Bowler Richie Incognito, and three-time Pro Bowler and former Chief Rodney Hudson.

And lest you accuse me of cherry-picking, here’s Mahomes’ 2019 season: Derek Carr’s 2019 season was arguably the best of his six-year NFL career. Asking “who’s going to win the NCAA Tournament this year?” now feels similar to those conversations you had with your friends at sleepovers growing up - you know, “Who would win in a fight, Darth Vader or the Incredible Hulk?” The answer is tantalizing because it is unknown and unknowable - Darth Vader will never fight the Incredible Hulk, and the NCAA tournament will not be played in 2020. Travis Kelce, Ricky Seals-Jones, Deon Yelder vs. Darren Waller, Hunter Henry, Noah Fant

Both are solid players (Brown earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2019), but tellingly, both play right tackle, and neither is as good there as Mitchell Schwartz.

Let’s look again at Football Outsiders’ DVOA; another metric called DYAR; ESPN’s QBR; and traditional football statistics. Let’s go through position-by-position. We’ll be generous and give the AFC West a push here. AFC West. The Broncos have Drew Lock, a second-year player out of the University of Missouri, who may well establish himself as the second-best QB in the AFC West as early as this year, but for now remains unproven. He set career highs in completion percentage, QBR and passer rating, and finished with his second-highest marks in DVOA and DYAR. The original AFL West had four members – the Dallas Texans (who moved to Kansas City in 1963 as the Each of the four AFC West teams won a division title in the first four years of the realignment – In the early and mid-2000s, the division was often cited as one of the NFL's "Toughest Divisions"The table below reflects division titles and playoff appearances from former members of the AFL/AFC West while still in the division.

The winner of this matchup may be unknown and unknowable, but that isn’t going to stop us from thinking about it. The division has sent teams to the Super Bowl sixteen times beginning with Super Bowl I vs. Green Bay. We all know that Mahomes is a vastly better quarterback than Carr.

This was, by Derek Carr’s standards, a very, very good season. The Chiefs have the best wide receiver in the AFC West, the one and only Cheetah, Tyreek Hill. As you can see, Mahomes nearly doubled Carr’s DVOA and DYAR, and actually more than doubled his touchdown total. This is a big advantage to the AFCW. The Los Angeles Chargers will join the Los Angeles Rams for “Hard Knocks: Los Angeles” bringing us an inside look at training camp for both teams.

Tackle has been a big-time issue for the AFC West, outside of KC, where Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz form one of the more consistent tackle duos in the league. The Chiefs have the edge at quarterback, tackle, and wide receiver; the AFC West at interior offensive line and running back; with tight end generously (for the AFC West) being called a draw.

Let’s break this matchup down.
Even in a season in which he dislocated his kneecap, missed two and a half games, and dealt with injuries and inconsistency all around him, Mahomes still significantly outperformed Carr. The Chiefs have the best quarterback in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes.

It is perhaps in this spirit that ProFootballTalk posed the following hypothetical over the weekend: The Chiefs’ top three of Hill, Watkins, and Hardman actually outproduced the AFC West’s top three of Allen, WIlliams, and Williams in DYAR 729 to 671. But unlike the quarterback position, where having the best player at the position automatically gives KC the edge, the AFC West’s depth at wide receiver matters. On Friday, Kelce explained why staying in KC was always the goal.From Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce, taking a look at what you should expect from members of the Kansas City Chiefs in fantasy football in 2020.On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs and tight end Travis Kelce came to a four-year, $57.25 million contract extension. The American Football Conference – Western Division or AFC West is one of the four divisions of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). Mahomes was more explosive and more efficient than Carr, throwing for 8.8 yards per attempt to Carr’s 7.9 while taking a sack on just 4.3% of dropbacks, while Carr was sacked 5.4% of the time.

To account for Mahomes’ injury-shortened 2019 season, we’ll use his numbers from 2018, and compare those to Carr’s 2019 season. The Kansas City Chiefs will never play a combined team made up of the best players for the Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos, and Los Angeles Chargers. In fact, since I saw this tweet, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. I chose the last full season played by each WR (in the case of Sammy Watkins, who had significant injury issues in both 2019 and 2018, I chose 2018, in which he performed better despite missing more games). The Chargers can contribute newcomer Bryan Bulaga, a former long-time Green Bay Packer, while the Raiders have the monstrous 380-pound Trent Brown.
