Ahead of the start of free agency, Insider is providing buyer's guides for all 32 teams: biggest need positions from Football Outsiders, top targets from KC Joyner and Matt Williamson, and predictions on how everything will play out from our NFL Nation team reporters.

Included below are links to every team's article. This is the entry for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Biggest needs

Wide receiver: Since 2013 the Chiefs are 1-11 (.083) when allowing more than 20 points, tied for the third-worst winning percentage in the NFL. When the defense does not play at a high level the offense has not been able to step up, so the roster needs to get more explosive. Dwayne Bowe was the team's only true wide receiver to have more than 30 targets last year and he ranked 53rd in in both of Football Outsiders' advanced metrics, DYAR (defense-adjusted yards above replacement) and DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average).
