In 2006, Tony's rookie year, he was targeted 37 times with 18 rec for 286 yds and 4 TDs.
In 2007, Tony was targeted 65 times with 49 rec for 549 yds and 4 TDs.
2006 was the Jake Plummer to Jay Cutler midyear transition. Javon Walker and Rod Smith had over 200 targets and and 130 or so receptions. Brandon Marshall was also a rookie with 37 targets in 2006, so Sheffler tied for 3rd most targets, essentially 4th most targeted option.
In 2014, Kelce was the 2nd most targeted with the most receptions for KC. And, that was his 2nd year in the league right, doesn't look like he did anything his rookie year, dunno if he was hurt or not.
