From the episode

Travis Kelsey had a nice bounce back game, five catches for 67 yards, and he had a bad drop. Um, but one thing I want to point out about Kelsey, and this is a trend over the last three years now is they just like Noah Gray had a touchdown today. This used to be Patrick Mahomes is guy near the goal line. But so far on the year, Travis Kelsey has three red zone targets, zero green zone targets, which is the 10 yard line and in and two end zone targets. And it is a continuing trend for Travis Kelsey. He also limped off the field at one point. Thankfully he was okay. He did. He's been battling an ankle injury for the last two weeks.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Kelce's red zone role eroding; only 3 red zone targets, zero green zone targets this year.

Kelce continues a three-year trend of declining red zone usage under Mahomes; in Week 8 he had 5 catches for 67 yards with a drop, but only 3 red zone targets and zero green zone targets (10-yard line and in), with 2 end zone targets—a significant departure from his historical role as Mahomes' primary goal-line target. He also limped off the field and has been battling an ankle injury for two weeks, playing at less than 100% health.
