He didn't have a receiving TD against TN. Hill, Hill, Mahomes, Williams (rushing), Watkins.
It was the TD against Houston that you're thinking of and that play required a great design from Reid to get him open. It wasn't that he caught it on the move, it was that Kelce went out and rubbed the guy and that was supposed to sink into that zone and then Watkins got in his way on a crosser. It was a brilliantly designed play.
That's why I say he can be schemed into dangerous spots. Meanwhile Kamara can damn near line up as a WR and simply use his feet to create space. Williams isn't that.
He's faster and more powerful than he's given credit for; his balance is especially surprising (when he's running hard). But like I said, he's a complementary piece more than anything - a system player. He's not someone I think will often go create his own space.
