Royals has proven this season to be a quality blocking wide receiver and has lined up on multiple snaps around the line of scrimmage. The Chiefs found ways to get the ball to him that incorporated aspects of their play-action game and the newer condensed sets they have been using this season. On critical downs and distances, he is quickly becoming the Chiefs' 'secret weapon' out of these traditionally heavy formations, a role that can leave defenses guessing and lead to bigger plays for Royals down the line.

Royals was the benefactor after Rashee Rice's absence, with 74% of snaps; Andrew Armstrong was next at 69%, and Cyrus Allen was a distant fourth at 15%. The offense centered on Xavier Worthy, Travis Kelce, and Ken Walker III, with each backup getting two targets. The Chiefs have been active in the midseason wide receiver trade market before, so it would be surprising if they don't bring in another player soon. Hold in the deepest leagues.
