4 reasons the Oakland Raiders will beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2
By Nick Ellis
Chiefs Without Tyreek Hill
The Chiefs will be without their best receiver on Sunday, as Tyreek Hill was carted off the field last weekend with a shoulder injury, and he will miss multiple games, including this one against the Raiders. Hill is one of the better wide receivers in all of football, and the Raiders have had their fair share of issues with him in the past.
Last time the Raiders played the Chiefs, Tyreek Hill went off for 101 receiving yards on five catches and a touchdown, along with one 15 yard rush for a touchdown. Without him, expect the Chiefs to look elsewhere, including their tight end Travis Kelce, and a certain wide receiver who had a monster Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Gareon Conley is good to go this week, so the absence of Hill will be huge for the Raiders if Conley can shut down Sammy Watkins, something the Jaguars failed to do last week. The Chiefs will still have plenty of weapons to attack the Oakland defense with, but the loss of Hill is a big one.
