We know that the four remaining quarterbacks in the NFL playoffs will be playing. As the NFL's conference championship games approach on Sunday, let's focus on the weapons on offense other than quarterback.
The final four teams are strong teams with offensive talent. Here is a list of the top 10 offensive weapons other than quarterbacks. kansas city chiefs, buffalo bills, philadelphia eagles and commander of washington
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley
Barkley is the most dangerous offensive weapon left in the playoffs. He is having arguably the best season ever by a running back and has become a key component of the Philadelphia Eagles' offense. He can change the game on any play, as he showed in the Eagles' 28-22 divisional-round win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. He had touchdown runs of 62 and 78 yards on the way to 205 rushing yards on 26 carries. For the Washington Commanders, the upset of the Eagles starts with trying to stop Barkley.
Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce
No, Kelce is no longer in his prime at age 35, but yes, he's still a key component of the Kansas City Chiefs' offense and a dangerous weapon in the playoffs. That was on full display in the Chiefs' 23-14 victory over the Houston Texans in the regional round, where he had seven catches for 117 yards and a touchdown. Kelce is Patrick Mahomes' security blanket, and he will play a key role if the Chiefs are looking to win their third straight Super Bowl.
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin
McLaurin is an underrated talent, but with the presence of Commanders rookie quarterback Jaden Daniels, he's getting a chance to prove himself. McLaurin can quietly take over the game. He has 11 catches for 176 yards and two touchdowns in two playoff games this year.
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook
The Buffalo Bills are a pass-happy bunch led by Josh Allen. However, do not sleep on the cook. He is an essential cog in this offense. He keeps the defense honest and could be a difference-maker in Kansas City on Sunday. He had 120 yards in the Wild Card game against the Broncos and 67 yards in Sunday's game against Baltimore, finishing the regular season in the top three in rushing for both teams.
Philadelphia Eagles WR AJ Brown
Brown has had a quiet postseason thus far. He's been beat up, with just three catches for 24 yards in two playoff games. But he's still dangerous. He can still help the Eagles win their next two games. He led all receivers with catches of over 60 yards per reception.
Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson
Although overshadowed by Daniels, Robinson is a key part of the Commanders' offense, as he showed in Washington's upset win in Detroit. He had 77 yards and two touchdown runs on 15 carries.
Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shaquille
Shaquille is a playmaker and has great chemistry with Josh Allen. The Bills receiver may not come to mind when people talk about the best wide receivers in the game, but he gets open and makes plays. He had 76 catches in the regular season and 12 catches so far in the playoffs, by far the top number for the Bills, and more than all of Buffalo's other receivers in the playoffs. of yards gained. Combined.
Philadephia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith
Smith is another dangerous weapon for Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. Speedsters can break up big plays at any time, so that's something to consider. He had eight touchdown catches in the regular season.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy
The rookie has had his moments this season and could be a fun weapon for Mahomes long-term. Still, he can always make his presence felt in the postseason, as he already has. Against Houston, he had five catches for 45 yards. Don't be surprised if he becomes a bigger factor against Buffalo. He really hit his stride at the end of the year, recording at least four catches in eight straight games.
Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert
The Eagles' tight ends are bruisers and playmakers. He showed that in Philadelphia's first two postseason games. He has eight catches for 103 yards and one score. Commanders must hold Goedert accountable or he will make them pay.
