Patrick Mahomes Has Bad News and an Apology for Fantasy Managers

One of the biggest mysteries for fantasy managers heading into the 2022 NFL season is exactly how the Chiefs plan to replace the 159 targets that Tyreek Hill received last year. After trading Hill to the Dolphins in the offseason, Kansas City signed veterans Juju Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling and then drafted Skyy Moore. Of course, tight end Travis Kelce was targeted 134 times in 2021, so it’s a safe bet he’ll be the Chiefs’ top pass catcher this season.

Kelce caught 92 passes for 1,125 yards and nine touchdowns last season, and there’s a good reason why he’s a high second-round pick in most fantasy drafts and occasionally a low first-rounder.
