The Kansas City Chiefs have overcome a terrible 0-2 start by winning three of their last four games, putting GM Brett Veach in another position to buy at the trade deadline.

That said, the Chiefs certainly look vulnerable in a few areas, including the running game and the secondary. They’ll get a giant boost on Sunday, when star wide receiver Rashee Rice returns from a six-game suspension for his involvement in a hit-and-run accident in the 2024 offseason.

Unsurprisingly, a new report strongly indicates that the Chiefs are looking to address another skill position ahead of the trade deadline.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano wrote that the Kansas City Chiefs, Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers are teams he expects “to have interest in acquiring a running back ahead of the deadline.”

Graziano listed New York Jets star Breece Hall and Miami Dolphins sophomore Jaylen Wright as running backs who could be on the move.

To emphasize just how badly the Chiefs need a running back, consider that quarterback Patrick Mahomes leads the team in rushing with 222 yards and four touchdowns on 38 carries. Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt have only 214 and 187 yards, respectively.

Which Other RBs Could The Kansas City Chiefs Target Ahead Of The Trade Deadline?

Breece Hall obviously makes sense as a trade target for Kansas City, given his excellent production on a winless Jets team.

New Orleans Saints Pro Bowler and workhorse Alvin Kamara would also be an excellent addition, given his production as both a runner and receiver. Perhaps the Cleveland Browns are open to moving 2023 standout Jerome Ford, who lost the RB1 job to Quinshon Judkins.

The Philadelphia Eagles have hardly used former Green Bay Packers star AJ Dillon, who has just 60 rushing yards on 12 carries. Perhaps GM Howie Roseman would give Dillon away for a day-three pick.

The Chiefs love staying loyal to veteran players, but they have to accept that Pacheco and Hunt are no longer suitable RB1 options.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
