Kansas City Chiefs: Travis Kelce
September 20, 2024
Travis Kelce has had a lackluster start to the season, recording only four receptions for 39 yards over the first two games. He experienced his first game with one catch or fewer since 2018 and displayed a significantly low target rate, with only seven targets on 53 routes run. Despite maintaining high snap counts, he has not been utilized in screen plays or designed passing plays, indicating a shift in offensive strategy. The emergence of Rashee Rice as a primary target has also impacted Kelce's target share, highlighting a potential transition in his role within the offense. Additionally, Kelce's performance after the catch has been subpar, with minimal yardage gained post-reception compared to his career averages, raising questions about whether he is becoming a complementary rather than focal point in the passing game as he approaches age 35.

Travis Kelce has had a slower start in the Kansas City Chiefs offense, recording only four catches and 39 yards through the first two games of the season. This marks his first game with such few catches since 2018 and raises concerns about his low target rate, which is significantly below his career norms.

Despite playing a high percentage of offensive snaps, Kelce's involvement in the passing game has diminished, partly attributed to the emergence of Rashee Rice as a key target for Patrick Mahomes.
