Well, teams attacked the Chiefs frequently by throwing to running backs last season - in fact, the Chiefs allowed more catches to running backs than any team in football. The Lions have more than hinted that they will be using their first-round draft selection as a receiver as much as a running back. Moore has had a consistence presence with the starters throughout training camp and preseason, an indication that he will receive plenty of snaps - and I’m betting enough catches to surpass this number.Ģ.
I don’t know that the Chiefs have a 1,000-yard receiver on the roster, but I do know they have a two-time 5,000-yard passer who’s going to send those yards somewhere. He’s going to have to throw the ball somewhere, and I’m buying the Skyy Moore stock this season - to a certain extent. Kelce’s status is in doubt, but as I mentioned, I like the matchup for Mahomes. That’s all to say this: Expect some points in the NFL opener.
