It's ok, just let him learn.

I think his impact is roughly what Jody Fortson gave them in 2022.

He’ll create some big plays out 13 personnel. He’ll let them run 12 personnel without Kelce.

But we’re taking more about situational snaps and splash plays this year.

I think it's also reasonable to assume we won't have Kelce for 2-3 games this season.

And I think it's possible that Wiley goes from 3rd to 1st on the depth chart if that happens. Not likely, but if you want bulk snaps at a move TE position, I'm thinking you may be better served to move Wiley into that spot with Gray staying at 2.

If Kelce stays healthy I'm thinking you may see 250 yards and a couple scores on 15-20 catches. Nothing much, but a couple little flashes here and there. But if Kelce goes down, there's a chance you see him go out there for like 6 catches for 85 yards and a tuddy in a game.

I really think Reid will turn this kid into a 1,000 yard receiver someday.

Also think the team would really like to keep Kelce on a snap count. The days Kelce plays 90% of the offensive snaps during the regular season are over. Guessing if Wiley comes on it would allow them to keep Kelce at 75%. A fresh Kelce in the playoffs is hard to stop.
