STACKED’s take
Royals's 6-catch, 51-yard breakout with elite YAC secures No. 4 receiver role claim.
Second-year wideout Jalen Royals finally showcased his skill set in the Tampa game after limited opportunities through his first year and change. He led all Chiefs players with six catches on six targets for 51 yards and 12 yards after catch, with the longest being a 17-yard pass downfield in the third quarter that set up rookie running back Emmett Johnson's touchdown. On two of his earliest catches, Royals flashed the yards-after-catch ability that made him a sought-after prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft from Utah State (he was 2nd in the nation in YAC/game in his final year). After being outshined by rookie Cyrus Allen in camp, Royals made his strongest statement towards earning the No. 4 receiver role yet.
