3 Bold Predictions for Chiefs vs. Chargers in Week 4 AFC West Matchup
By Joe Summers
3. Travis Kelce Notches 100 Receiving Yards and a TD
Travis Kelce is off to the slowest start of his career, with certain "analysts" offering nonsensical takes about his commitment. Kelce has a remarkable 100 catches for 1,223 yards and eight TDs against the Chargers in his career, making this a perfect time to finally have his breakout game of the young season.
He only has eight catches for 69 yards through three games. With no Derwin James and Rashee Rice likely commanding more of the defense's attention, Kelce will get his opportunity to shine.
This is still the best tight end to ever walk the planet. He's older now, but we saw in the playoffs that he's still fully capable of taking over a game.
Andy Reid talking about Travis Kelce's lack of production today: "He collects people," talking about how he can open up underneath throws

Here's a good example Andy mentioned. Both safeties & the LB have eyes on Travis as he runs vertical, leaving Gray all by himself pic.twitter.com/P0OWwPknuk
Patrick Mahomes and the coaching staff have all talked about how defenses are focused on Kelce. Once opponents shift some of that attention to Rice, Kelce will feast just like he always has.
Week 4 against perhaps his favorite opponent is an ideal situation. Expect Mahomes to look Kelce's way early to get him going. If it works, Kelce can easily get over 100 yards and find the end zone for his first TD of the campaign.
