Tyreek Hill Expected to Play vs Raiders

The Kansas City Chiefs, who will take on an Oakland Raiders secondary that has been gashed left, right, and center in the least few weeks, will get their top downfield threat back from injury.

Tyreek Hill will likely start this week after suffering what looked like a potentially serious hamstring injury in Mexico City in a win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Injuries have limited Hill to just seven games this season (including one in which he only played seven snaps), but he's been playing at his usual elite level in those games. Hill has 543 yards and five touchdowns, including 157 yards and a touchdown on 11 catches in a loss against the Tennessee Titans.

If the likes of Robby Anderson and Braxton Berrios gave the Raiders fits against the New York Jets last week, imagine what Hill will do to that secondary.

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs need to light up the scoreboard week in and week out to make up for their lackluster defense, and the addition of Hill should be a major boon for them in that pursuit starting this Sunday.
