Here's how I expect Benjamin to help (if he tries):
-Give Mahomes another bailout so we don't feed Kelce 20x per game (exhausting). Even if he's not open, throw it to him.
-Intermediate routes - without Hunt, D's are doubling Tyreek and Kelce deep. He sucks at quick shit but we don't do that anymore. We run long developing plays where KB can be a big body for slants/crossers and go one on one on sideline routes for the jumpball stuff
-Red zone option - Duh
I think vs Baltimore you'll see our RBs a hell of a lot more active in the passing game. Against SD (when KB plays) that adds another short game option. I don't think the Chiefs got Benjamin just bc he was available. They got him because he can help the Chiefs make a key late season adjustment.
