Two things can be true. First, they can struggle at that.
Second, the Chiefs, under Andy Reid, love having a guy with Next Level speed to run various gadget plays. He has an army of those plays and he loves having a Z run them.
When Andy arrived, he made do with Dexter McCluster, but in 2014 he snagged De'Anthony Thomas. Then he snagged Tyreek, who became much more than that, and then Mecole came along.
They tried John Ross this offseason but it wasn't working and the dude retired. And now they're just trying to make do with an amalgam of guys doing Z work.
Washington is a Z. Toub now likes the guy. The track record for those guys getting playing time is strong.
