Dwayne Bowe is being suspended one game by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy.  The suspension stems from an arrest last November involving marijuana.

Bowe did not have a great year last year, but he is still easily the Chiefs best receiver.  In fact, with Bowe being out, Donnie Avery is the Chiefs #1 receiver.  That is a pretty significant drop off.

Of course the Chiefs still have Jamaal Charles, so....
