Wide Receiver snap counts from Sunday against the Jags

[dlphg9]

As you all know, KC was down a starting WR Sunday and then was without there number 1 WR halfway through the 2nd quarter. Two players benefited most from these shitty circumstances and neither of them were named Skyy Moore.

Skyy Moore had his 2nd lowest percentage of offensive snaps since week 4. In week 7, right before the bye, Moore played in 22% of offensive snaps and this past Sunday against the Jags Moore played in 25% (16) of the offensive snaps.

The two players that benefited the most were Kadarious Toney and Justin Watson.

Toney played in 44% of the offensive snaps, which is a huge increase from the 9% he got his first week with the team.

Watson played in 73% of the snaps against the Jags. That tied him for 2nd with Kelce amongst skill position players. MVS was the only skill position player with more (84%). Watson had never gotten more than 26% of the offensive snaps.

So what will Sunday night against the Chargers look like? We will be without both Hardman and JJSS, so does that make Toney, MVS, and Watson our 3 starting WRs? We pretty much know that MVS is going to get >75% of the snaps on O. Is Watson going to get more snaps than he did last week? I think it's pretty much a guarantee, barring injury, that Toney is over 60% of snaps. Will we see Moore get over 30% of offensive snaps?

Even though Watson played almost 3/4 of the game he only got 1 target. I think maybe he gets a bit exposed with the additional snaps and I'm hoping Moore is able to get some of those snaps from him.

I'm very excited to see what they do with Toney this week. He was in 28 snaps last week and was either targeted or ran it on 25% of those snaps. I think he breaks our this week and has at least 125 yds receiving, 25 rush yds and at least 1 TD.

We've had some pretty great stuff come out of those, so maybe not all bad.

Our 3 TE set this year is really good, because we actually have 3 TEs that are pretty talented. Obviously Travis Kelce is the best TE ever, but finally we have a TE2 in Noah Gray that has legit talent and would probably be a starter on half the teams in the league. Our TE3 Jody Fortson isn't making mistakes or negatively impacting the team in his opportunities, which is all you can really ask out of a 3rd string TE.

May be a Patches breakout game more than a Moore game.

Honestly, I'm still intrigued by these 13 looks w/ Bell back in the lineup. They could really move some bodies around with that group.

Andy said that the snap breakdown will be similar to last week with the WR. If that's true, then there is like <5% chance Moore is "breaking out". If MVS is out or limited, then things are different and the team is pretty much forced to play Moore and that might be enough for him to break out.

If two of your top 3 WRs are out injured, another is banged up, and another WR probably still doesn’t have 100% of the playbook down and Moore STILL can’t have a breakout performance then that says all you need to know about Moore.

Having said that, I think we should all know by now to not take Reid at his word with everything said to the media.

EDIT: I went a re-read the article and it says MVS will "be available". Nebulous to say the least.

The official Chiefs site says MVS was a FP on Friday, so I'd guess he's good to go. Use Fortson more as a big-bodied guy. Remember, he came into the league as a WR, but didn't have a lot of speed, hence the move to TE. Can he get open in an 8 yard out route? Yes. Can he catch the ball on that route? Yes. Then throw it to him. Simple solution.

As to Kemp getting any snaps, let alone Moore's ---he's still on the PS.
