3. Get Marquez Valdes-Scantling off the field, limit Skyy Moore's snaps
Every week, Chiefs fans are left wondering just how and why the team ever decided to pay Marquez Valdes-Scantling. This season, more than last, it seems as though every other time he is targeted, the pass ends with an incompletion. Whether it's due to a drop (often, it is) or a route ran the wrong direction (also a frequent outcome), Valdes-Scantling has been downright disruptive to his own offense.
We all remember the deep drop he missed on a potential game-winning touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles two weeks ago. It was absolutely brutal, and it came on a national stage.
Skyy Moore has also been frustrating to watch, with similar outcomes. Usually, targeting either Moore or Valdes-Scantling winds up being a low-percentage play with high risk, especially if it comes within a needy circumstance.
Instead, the Chiefs should be targeting a guy like Travis Kelce more often. Sunday night against the Packers, Kelce received just five targets -- his second-lowest total of the season. Why? Why was he targeted so little in a game the Chiefs were down? This makes zero sense.
