Fact is, Smith is known for not getting his WR's the ball often. It's not a new thing. He's been destroying WR careers since SF. But what is more frustrating is that Kelce should play right into Smith's soft, passive game play and he should have been averaging 10-12 targets a game in 2016 instead of the 7 he got.

Yet another ignorant post. You ignore how effective our run game was in 2015 ranking as one of the top in efficiency. Naturally that eats away at volume in the passing game. A better assessment would be to look at efficiency... And both maclin and Kelce were hauling in >70% of targets which is spectacular.
Amongst tight ends, Kelce was one of the most targeted.. Clumping him with wide receivers is disingenuous
