KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Fantasy football players take note: Tyreek Hill could average as many as 70 snaps a game as a wide receiver and returner in 2017.

So says the coach of Kansas City’s rookie sensation.

“He was averaging 35 plays a game (in 2016),” Andy Reid told co-host Kirk Morrison and me Thursday on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “Maybe he can double that or at least take it up a couple notches and allow him to get in more in a starting role.”

Hill started one game this season and registered only eight touches as a receiver and rusher in Kansas City’s first three contests. Hill’s role gradually increased to where he led all AFC rookies with 61 catches for 593 yards and six touchdowns, along with another 24 carries for 267 yards and three scores.

Hill also was a unanimous All-Pro selection at punt returner after averaging 15.2 yards and scoring twice on 39 returns.

“We use him a lot on special teams obviously,” said Reid, whose team made Hill a 2016 fifth-round draft choice. “When he came to us, that’s what we originally thought we had. He then said, ‘Listen I can do this offensive thing.’ He’s innately a smart kid. We kept adding to it and he got it.

“I’d expect him to learn that whole (playbook) by the end of all the OTAs and training camp and then be even more of a threat.”

The future is less certain for three long-time Chiefs players in linebacker Derrick Johnson, running back Jamaal Charles and safety Eric Berry. Johnson, 34, is recovering from a torn Achilles tendon suffered in mid-December against Oakland. Charles, 30, appeared in just three games last season because of knee surgeries.

The Chiefs would clear $7 million in salary-cap space by releasing Charles. Johnson already is guaranteed $2 million in salary, but the team could avoid paying him an additional $2.75 million by releasing him before March 11.

Reid didn’t reveal which way the Chiefs are leaning.

“I love both of them,” Reid said. “They are getting a little older. D.J. is like a fine wine, man. This guy gets better with age. He is coming off an injury, which is tough. We’ll just have to see with that. … I wouldn’t put anything past the guy.

“Jamaal has been busting his tail. Every day he’s in (rehabbing). He wants to still play. That’s just one you have to kind of see on how things work out for him. He’s had a couple of those knee (injuries). But he’s in the right frame of mind, I can tell you that for sure.”

As for Berry, the Chiefs have the option of designating him their franchise player for a second consecutive season. Reid, though, is hopeful Berry can be signed to a long-term contract.

“We love E.B. I think everybody in our building would ditto that,” Reid said. “If we can get this thing done, that’s obviously a priority in the offseason. It’s been a good marriage.”

Alex Marvez can be heard from 6 to 8 p.m. ET Friday on SiriusXM NFL Radio.
