It was a problem last year, and is a problem this year. Mahomes can't shovel every TD in.
CEH is fine for now but don't pay him.

A legitimate possession WR would help more.
And that's definitely been a problem for a few years. We just don't have enough size (it was especially obvious when Watkins was hurt).
Hill can do some amazing stuff in a phone-booth to create space, but when you're in the red zone and there's less grass to cover, you need a guy who can just go get the football and present a big target. That forces teams to be more aware of the shorter zones.
Obviously Kelce is Plan A there, but there's not much of a plan B apart from those RPO actions that can sometimes free Hill up off the line.
A healthy Watkins was huge in that regard and Gordon very well could be.
As for the rest - again, short-yardage rushing is more about your OL. The biggest problem last year in the red zone and short yardage run game was an OL that just couldn't get any push. This line is a much different animal and Clyde can absolutely take advantage of it.
