Kansas City Chiefs to face player No. 1 of the 'NFL Top 100' in 2026

The "NFL Top 100 Players" is an annual NFL offseason tradition. There are a few names from the Kansas City Chiefs expected to make the cut, but there are also many opponents featured in this year's rankings. Player No. 1 is a player they are scheduled to face this coming season.

No. 1 is Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Myles Garrett .

Garrett started all 17 games he played for the Browns in 2025, finishing the season with 23 sacks, breaking the NFL single-season sack record, and 33 tackles for loss, the second-most in NFL history. He was named first-team All-Pro, earned his seventh career Pro Bowl selection, and won Defensive Player of the Year for the 2025 season. Garrett and J. J. Watt are the only players in NFL history to win the award unanimously.

Garrett and the Rams will host the Chiefs in Week 13 of the 2026 season on Thursday Night Football, December 3, at SoFi Stadium.

Produced by NFL Films and the X Original Series, the new season of NFL Top 100 features short-form episodes that reveal the league's top players, as voted on exclusively by current NFL players. Episodes debut on X on weekdays and will air later on NFL+, as well as on other NFL-owned and operated social media platforms.
