All three were on almost exactly the same route, too. All three of those passes would have been actual touchdowns if it had been Kareem Hunt. I know it sounds crazy, but I really feel like Mahomes was pissed off each time Damien whiffed on these passes.
Mahomes looked about as irritated as he ever gets on those plays. I used to have notes from the all-22 film, but after the SB I tossed it because it didn't matter, that had the details of the games and plays.
That is why I think that CEH was a target, in my opinion.

To echo other posters, I'd kind of like to know the plays you're talking about.
I think Williams is pretty damn good as a receiving back. Two plays jump out in particular. One is in that 2018 game against the Ravens, when Williams almost didn't see the pass coming to him on 4th down to score. If he whiffs that, then the game is over. Chiefs lose. That catch and run was waaaay harder than it looks simply because it was a short pass. The other one was the 1st TD against the Texans in the playoffs. It's not an astounding jaw-dropping feat of athleticism that he demonstrated, nor was 2nd down in the 2nd quarter a particularly clutch moment, but it was still a VERY awkward place to catch the football. He had to keep running to make the play effective-- he couldn't stop and turn around for the ball. He catches it against the side of his body after just a split second of turning his head while still running. A very cool play, and both of them are plays that not every RB in the NFL can do.
