JuJu Smith-Schuster is #1, possession guy who can convert first downs consistently. Plays the X
MVS is the Z. Speed, speed, and more speed. Has iffy hands at times, but dropped absolutely nothing against Cincy... was overall top receiver for the weekend, statistically.
Toney/Hardman/Watson/Moore are slot guys with speed, shifty, and super dangerous on jet sweeps. Latter two are used on deep passes and posts, respectively.
Kemp is a big body that can high point passes, but rarely sees the field.
Kelce is the top receiving target in this offense, and is a top receiver in the league, but plays from TE position. Dude is an absolute stud. First ballot, HoF, GOAT.
Gray and Fortson are "backup" TEs that can kill you as a receiver. They are patterned after Kelce, so their game is eerily similar.
Bell is the big bruiser prototypical TE.
Another receiving threat that you really have to plan for = RB McKinnon. His nickname is "Jet"; he is one of the most dangerous red zone receivers in the league.
Pacheco has shown excellent hands out of the backfield as well.
If that looks like a lot of potential targets/options, it is... Mahomes regularly spreads the ball around to 8-10 different receivers per game. That makes this passing attack nearly impossible to stop. You can gameplan to take away one or two guys, but it just means Mahomes will shred you elsewhere.
