Kelce and Hill get the ball because they are the best at getting open. Period. I very much want a legit second receiver, but that legit receiver will only be better situationally, not statistically.

Over the last 2 seasons Hill has had essentially 300 targets w/ a 67% catch rate at 8.6 yards/target.
Travis Kelce has had 280 targets w/ a 71% catch rate and 9.1 yards/target.
So those guys are averaging nearly 9 targets/gm and 6.5 receptions/gm for about 80 yards/gm between them over 60+ games in the last 2 seasons.
Jesus folks - how much more do you think you can realistically coax out of those two?
At some point the math just is what the math is. Adding a top end #2 wideout isn't going to suddenly have those guys averaging 9 receptions and 110 yards/gm on an 80% catch rate. There are only so many targets and human falability and the maelstrom of the NFL will put a cap on what they can do.
The offense isn't a problem, even as presently constructed.
