Adam Teicher, from ESPN.com, reports the Kansas City Chiefs are cautiously optimistic about their young group of wide receivers in 2017. With the release of veteran Jeremy Maclin, the team has no wideouts over the age of 24. “We’re going to be OK,” coach Andy Reid said. “I’m happy with the improvement that they’ve made over this camp and even last year. Do we have work to do? Absolutely. We’ve got to get this training camp in. We’ve got to put the pads on and do it there.”
Footballguys View: Outside of Tyreek Hill, there’s not a lot of fantasy value in the Chiefs WR corps. We’ll be monitoring Chris Conley to see if he can get open better and stop dropping so many passes (4.5 percent drop rate). It’s Hill and TE Travis Kelce who are the primary fantasy assets in Kansas City. Also — every fantasy player needs to monitor which players show the best chemistry with rookie QB Patrick Mahomes. He’s their eventual starter, and his favorite weapons (outside the ‘big 2’) might be available for cheap in dynasty leagues.
