The Chiefs are once again in a bad spot as they prepare to take on the Broncos. Their 21-point team total is lower than 18 teams. Kelce got off to a hot start this year, but the usage has waned over the past month. In his previous four appearances, Kelce has earned a mediocre 16 percent target share while being targeted on 17 percent of his routes. With Rashee Rice coming back this week, his role isn't getting better anytime soon.
