But, without reliable options at receiver it would make sense to run it more. Because, they lead the League in drops and the more they throw it....leads to a possible INT. Mahomes has been slinging it a little carelessly this season.Pacheco's YPC is down from 4.9 to 4.4 so....Im not sure thats for sure the answer.
Last year the week link on the team was CB. Gave up the most pass TDs in the league. They had to wait on McDuffie to get more reps and one of the CBs was banged up throughout the year IIRC. Eventually the team patched things up. The year Mahomes won his first Super Bowl the D line was a massive issue but they figured things out just enough to hold up against a fairly dominant Niners front.
The Chiefs still have fairly good offensive metrics. They just need to tweak things and get a little healthier. imo
Get a #1 WR in the offseason.
