CB Mansoor Delane
Sadly, Delane missed the Chiefs’ last game, but he should be back for Week 10!
Kansas City will be playing the Atlanta Falcons, a team that was selling at the deadline and is having a bad season. Delane will have a tough matchup against WR Drake London, and it’ll be interesting to see how he handles the physical receiver. Also, Delane will be tasked with tackling RB Bijan Robinson, which is nearly impossible.
Safety A.J. Haulcy
Haulcy was also out for his game this past week, which was unfortunate because the Colts nearly
won.
In Week 10, Haulcy has a chance to make a major impact against the Miami Dolphins. QB Malik Willis is out for the rest of the season, so backup Kyle McCord, a second-year player, will be playing and making his first career start. If Haulcy can stay consistent, he could be in position to get a turnover in this game.
WR Zavion Thomas
This season has sadly gone downhill for Thomas. He started on the bench and primarily played special teams, then finally got play on the offense and did well, but now he has been prone to penalties, and his role on offense is gone. In Week 10, Thomas had an extremely costly unnecessary roughness call that caused HC Ben Johnson to remove him from the offense. What makes things worse is that Thomas actually had a kick return for a touchdown, but was called back for a holding.
The Bears will be on their bye week.
TE Bauer Sharp
For some reason, eventhough Sharp had a really great blocking performance in Week 8, he barely played in Week 9. Really not sure why, so I’m chalking it up to bad coaching.
Bucs are also on their bye week.
WR Barion Brown
Brown had by far the best performance so far. He made an incredible 52-yard catch that set the Saints up in scoring range and was able to put New Orleans in an incredible field position on the return game. If it wasn’t for a really, really bad fumble that he had on one of his punt returns, Brown could have been one of the MVPs of the Saints game.
With the New Orleans forgiving players quickly for mistakes, Brown is going to be involved primarily on special teams again, but wouldn’t be surprised if they try to get another big play from him on offense.
LB Harold Perkins
The Falcons had a tough defensive performance against the Bengals last week, but Perkins was one of the best players on their defense and had a great game (as usual). With Perkins’ health and consistent performances, I would say he has been the top player from LSU’s 2026 class.
As mentioned earlier, the Falcons will play the Chiefs, and Perkins will have to deal with RB Kenneth Walker, which is arguably his biggest challenge of the season.
QB Garrett Nussmeier
Did not play because Patrick Mahomes is healthy.
EDGE Jack Pyburn
Was waived by the Chiefs, but brought back to the practice squad.
