It's only been 5 games, so I'm not very concerned, but Mahomes has to continue to work on the role he plays in developing WR talent. Skyy Moore isn't a #1 WR yet and maybe all he'll ever be is a 2 or worse, but if he's getting open, he's getting open.
Mahomes knows the Chiefs probably aren't going to make a blockbuster trade for a top end WR for the rest of his career, and the same probably goes for free agency. They're going to draft a ton of guys (hopefully some of them are 1st round guys) and they're simply not going to be what we need them to be unless Mahomes starts incorporating them. There's nothing like getting production in regular season games to increase a young WR's confidence and improvement.
So yeah... I know Mahomes has more chemistry with other guys and seems to trust the players with more experience, but he also shouldn't waste this opportunity to get Skyy more and more involved so that we can actually use him frequently next year and beyond.
