Kansas City Chiefs 2022 Starting Line-Up

The Kansas City Chiefs have arrived at training camp to prepare for their 2022 NFL season. The 52-man roster predicts how KC’s roster will be at the end of training camp.

Starting Quarterbacks

#15: Patrick Mahomes

#4: Chad Henne

The Chiefs would likely prefer to keep developmental backup quarterback Shane Buechele on the active roster as they did for much of 2021, but if he can’t overtake Henne in training camp, the roster spot may prove too valuable.

Running Backs (5)

Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Ronald Jones

Jerick McKinnon

Isiah Pacheco

Michael Burton

List it as four running backs and one fullback if you’d prefer; Andy Reid always seems to make room for a fullback. Pacheco, a seventh-round rookie, will have to take the final spot from former UDFA Derrick Gore. Edwards-Helaire will get the first chance to take the starting job, but Jones should bring real competition behind Edwards-Helaire for the first time in KC.

Tight Ends: Travis Kelce, Blake Bell, Jody Fortson and Noah Gray

The Chiefs began 2021 with these same four tight ends, with Fortson’s season ending early due to injury. Bell’s blocking, Gray’s development and Fortson’s high ceiling create a fascinating group behind an all-time great at the top of the depth chart.

Offensive line (9): Orlando Brown Jr., LT; Joe Thuney, LG; Creed Humphrey, C; Trey Smith, RG; Andrew Wylie, RT; Darian Kinnard, Roderick Johnson, Nick Allegretti, Austin Reiter

Tackle Lucas Niang is a likely candidate to begin the season on the PUP list following offseason surgery, opening the door for Kinnard and Johnson at tackle while KC waits on the arrival of Brown. Tackle Geron Christian will be the top competition for Johnson as the two vie for a backup swing tackle position.

Wide receivers (6): JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, Josh Gordon, Daurice Fountain
