The Chiefs receive much-needed help at receiver with the addition of Hopkins.
Rashee Rice still leads the team in receiving yards (288) despite suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 4.
Tight end Travis Kelce leads the team in receptions with 28. Not counting Rice, the Chief with the second-most catches is Xavier Worthy with 15.
With Hopkins, Patrick Mahomes gets a tall, down-the-field target that can still draw double teams to free up other receivers.
The Chiefs (6-0) are on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders (2-5) in Week 8.
