Tyquan ThorntonWRKC
Thornton re-signed with the Chiefs on a two-year deal worth $11 million, notable given that only Xavier Worthy and Jalen Royals were the other Chiefs WRs under contract for the 2027 season. The speedy wide receiver had his most productive season in the NFL last year, catching 19 passes for 438 yards and three touchdowns on nearly 1,000 air yards and 23 deep targets. He stepped up at the start of the year due to Worthy's injury and Rashee Rice's suspension; over the first 5 weeks, Thornton averaged 10.3 fantasy points per game. His 2025 yardage and touchdown totals set new career-highs, and he averaged 23.1 yards per reception (first in the NFL) with zero recorded drops.
