The Kansas City Chiefs defense/special teams will take on the high-powered Baltimore Ravens offense in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season. The Chiefs DST was a strong unit in 2023 and finished sixth in scoring at the end of the year, but they are down a few significant pieces this season. Star cornerback L'Jarius Sneed was traded to the Tennessee Titans this offseason to cut costs. Sneed was a lockdown corner last season, routinely holding opposing WR1s to lower outputs. The Chiefs defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo, is relying on All-Pro Trent McDuffie to anchor the cornerback room while the team decides which player will be the answer at CB2. There is a bit of uncertainty surrounding this group, and they are facing a tough matchup against the Ravens in Week 1. In 2023, the Ravens scored 28.4 points per game, the fourth-highest mark in the NFL. Although I believe the Chiefs DST will be a strong unit again in 2024, I prefer to look elsewhere in Week 1.--Joshua Costello - RotoBallerRead More News
