Predictions for Kansas City Chiefs’ key playmakers
By Andrew Jones
Chris Conley- WR
48 receptions; 500 rec yards; 4 touchdowns;
Many analysts have penciled in Albert Wilson as the starter opposite Maclin for 2016 but with training camp upcoming and all receivers working with Maclin during the off season Conley will step up in a big way.
Conley has the ability to be a deep threat and has the size to score a lot of touchdowns when the Chiefs get into the redzone. With Maclin drawing most of the attention from defenses Conley will be free to catch more of Smith’s attention. The passing game is definitely on the rise in Kansas City.
Travis Kelce- TE
80 receptions; 1,027; 6 touchdowns;
Kelce will continue his rise as one of the best tight ends in football for 2016. Kelce will look to set career marks in just about every statistical way possible. It may be difficult to see these Chiefs having two 1000 yard receivers but with the way the league continues to evolve the Chiefs are going to need to keep up with the high scoring offenses in the AFC. With these numbers Kelce will nab himself team MVP honors.
There will be others with significant impact this season like Albert Wilson, Demarcus Robinson, Spencer Ware, and James O’Shaughnessy. While the numbers of the top players are good, the supporting cast will still need to put in some hefty numbers themselves in order to put this team on the level of a Super Bowl contender.
