And I disagree that EVERYTHING hinges on Toney staying healthy. Everything hinges on Mahomes staying healthy. Anything and everything else is workable.
Juju was solid for us last year, but totally unspectacular. There's no reason to expect any great drop-off. Hardman was out half the year. We're not missing some great all-pro guys or anything.
It's entirely reasonable to expect the guys in the second year of their careers and all of the guys in their second year in this system to all pick up the slack. It's a DEEP room, so say all who are actually involved, and it's going to be fine.

Spags does this every year. He’s always messing around with his rotations throughout the season. It’s generally accepted to do this on defense. It doesn’t make him stupid. It’s just realistic to expect that with this much uncertainty even great coaches won’t have all the answers right away and will make some mistakes along the way. But An offense on the other hand is going to benefit more from timing and stability.
Everything doesn’t hinge on Toney staying healthy. But the performance of the wr room largely does. Im glad to get skyy reps but WR1 seems a stretch if he needs to fill for Toney. The concerns about Toney and Ross staying healthy are very legit. Expecting rashee to contribute right away is a stretch. Expecting Mvs to be anything more than a boom/bust role playing deep threat is a stretch. Expecting Watson and James, who were both easily signed for peanuts, to elevate any more than bottom of the WR depth is a high expectation.
Of course mahomes will make it work. I don’t think people will be this laid back if we haven’t worked out our wr kinks by the time we face Philly, buffalo, cincy.
