Josh Palmer, Kahlil Benson, and Hezekiah Masses are the AFC’s Week 2 Secret Superstars

Josh Palmer, a wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, and Kahlil Benson, an offensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs, have emerged as the AFC’s Week 2 Secret Superstars. While star quarterbacks often dominate the spotlight, these underrated players have made significant contributions to their respective teams.
For the Bills, Josh Palmer has been instrumental in executing the "Dagger concept" in the passing game. This strategy involves one receiver running a vertical route, another running a hard in-cut, and the third running a shorter angular route. Palmer has benefited from this concept, as he has scored a touchdown in a critical game against the Detroit Lions. The "Love of the Game" route, a key component of the Dagger concept, has been the driving force behind his success.
Meanwhile, Kahlil Benson has shined on the offensive line for the Kansas City Chiefs. As Ohio State left tackle J. J. Watt's replacement, Benson has proven to be a valuable asset for the Chiefs. Although specific statistics are not provided, his performance has clearly contributed to the team's success in Week 2.
