The KC Chiefs won their first preseason game with ease and now we head into week two of the preseason. This time it’ll be away from the comforts of Arrowhead Stadium and in the Steel City of Pittsburgh to face the Steelers.

With one preseason game in the books, it’s time to turn the page and look at which players to keep an eye on in week two of the preseason. Last week, the six guys I listed ended up doing pretty well for themselves, so who should fans keep an eye on this week as the Kansas City Chiefs go toe-to-toe with the Pittsburgh Steelers?

DORIAN O’DANIEL

Despite being a third round pick just last year, Dorian O’Daniel could very much be on the chopping block this summer. He didn’t have a great game last week and was actually out there late in the game, which isn’t exactly a great sign for him moving forward.

With so many other linebackers on the roster (and several clearly ahead of O’Daniel on the depth chart), it’s important for the Clemson product to prove his worth this Saturday. Hopefully he gets an opportunity to do so earlier in the game, but if not, he could really be in trouble this year.

Keep an eye on O’Daniel to see if he’s able to sniff valuable playing time and if he can make the most of it.
