However, they don\u2019t have internal reinforcements to improve the rushing attack. That\u2019s why he thinks Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright could be on their trade wish list.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiami isn\u2019t playing running back Jaylen Wright, who had a lot of fans in the 2024 draft. It might be worth a call for Kansas City,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>During their 1-2 start to the season, the team\u2019s vaunted passing game has been mediocre, as Patrick Mahomes has thrown for over 250 yards just once. However, that should change in the next few weeks. Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) will be back soon. And along with the rise of Tyquan Thornton, there is hope for that part of the offense.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-patrick-mahomes-is-chiefs-leading-rusher-after-3-games\">Patrick Mahomes is Chiefs leading rusher after 3 games<\/h2>\n<p>However, despite Isiah Pacheco being healthy, Mahomes has actually led the team in rushing in two of their three games. The combo of Pacheco and Kareem Hunt is not working, so it makes sense that Fowler thinks the Chiefs could try to bring in a different look.<\/p>\n<p>Jaylen Wright was drafted by the Dolphins in Round 4 of last year\u2019s draft. But he is currently stuck behind De\u2019Von Achane and Ollie Gordon II on the RB depth chart. In his final year in college at Tennessee, he had a breakout season as he rushed for 1,013 yards and averaged over seven yards per carry.<\/p>\n<p>A case can be made that the offensive line is the bigger issue, and not who is running the ball. However, Wright will be easier to get in a trade compared to an impact lineman. So it might be worth it to see if a different look can help improve the Chiefs\u2019 rushing attack.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=70,height=70,fit=crop,quality=90,gravity=auto,sharpen=1,metadata=none,format=auto,onerror=redirect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picsart_24-01-24_23-52-03-166-e1706184896930.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=428,height=336,fit=crop,quality=90,gravity=auto,sharpen=1,metadata=none,format=auto,onerror=redirect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picsart_24-01-24_23-52-03-166-e1706184896930.jpg 2x\" alt=\"Chiefs Linked To Trade for 2024 Draft Prospect \u2018Who Had a Lot of Fans'\" width=\"70\" height=\"70\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After earning his journalism degree in 2017, Jason Burgos served as a contributor to several sites, including MMA Sucka &#8230; More about Jason Burgos<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Mentioned in this article: Kansas City Chiefs<\/p>\n<p>More About: NFL<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report links the Kansas City Chiefs to a trade for Isiah Pacheco&#8217;s potential replacement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":98074,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
