The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the most run first teams in the league, and rightfully so. They have one of the best running backs in the league in Jamaal Charles and plenty of capable back ups. However, Alex Smith is underrated as a passer and last season he threw for 3,486 yards, adding a deadly passing attack to their offense. Chris Conley is a second-year player who has won the second WR in the Chiefs offense and could put up big numbers this year.

Strengths

Conley is an athletic freak who’s burst score on playerprofiler.com, a score calculated by a mix between broad jump and vertical jump, is in the 100th percentile. He ran a 4.35 40 yard dash at the combine and is one of the most athletic players in the NFL. While he stays in Kansas City his fantasy value is limited, but one injury to Jeremy Maclin or a change of scenery for Conley and his fantasy value could double. However while in Kansas City and playing the second receiver role he could still put up fantasy numbers good enough for a WR4.

Weaknesses

Conley still can occasionally struggle with his hands, but his freakish athletism is enough to make up for it most of the time. He needs to polish his routes to get open more but again it is rare to find a corner that can keep up with him or jump as high. This offseason Maclin and Chris Conley did workouts together and they helped Conley a lot.

Projections

We can expect Conley to catch in between 40-50 passes and get about 700 yards if his situation remains the same. He should score 4-5 touchdowns and be a good end of bench player for your fantasy team. Conley projects the best in keeper or dynasty leagues as the talent is there if he were to change teams or the Chiefs were to become a more pass orientated team.
