Fantasy Football Target Analysis: AFC
Kansas City Chiefs
- WR: Hollywood Brown, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy
- TE: Travis Kelce
- RB: Isiah Pacheco
Let’s face the elephant in the room: Rashee Rice will be suspended. For how long? No one knows. But regardless, his target share will regress this season, making him a dangerous candidate to select at his ADP.
Let’s move to the real WR1 in Kansas City, Travis Kelce. Kelce was third in YPRR and third in target share while recording a second-place finish in first-read share as a tight end. Travis Kelce is still the number one option for Patrick Mahomes and should be treated as such for the foreseeable future.
The issue is then deciding who we should trust more, Hollywood Brown or Xavier Worthy. Worthy brings game-changing speed to the field with his record-breaking 40-yard dash. Hollywood brings a veteran presence who is proven to produce results. Both players should give impressive air-yard numbers to help Mahomes break open the defensive schemes. However, Hollywood should see 100+ targets, whereas Worthy should start as the third option within this passing offense as the rookie will take some time to acclimate to the NFL, especially in Kansas City.
