Nobody said stop getting him the ball. The offense still runs through him. But if a WR is capable of eating secondary targets that’s just a few less times you have to ask kelce to battering ram his way through defenses. Hell, I wouldn’t mind even subbing him out of more packages early in the season to keep him fresh. We’ve played some soft defenses but there are defenses out there that get really chippy with kelce.
Keep in mind juju was getting 8+ targets in half of his games last year and that didn’t mean we stopped going to kelce. I think we all feel rashee will eventually be that kind of target eater but until he does, we are asking kelce to carry a huge weight.
