Noah Gray is the player who would benefit most from Kelce’s absence. The Chiefs’ No. 2 tight end is already active in the offense, regularly playing more than 50% of snaps throughout the season. Gray has a catch in 17 of the 18 games he’s played in this season, including 14 straight.
While news of Kelce’s injury spread, Gray’s receptions over at 1.5 started gaining juice. It went from -114 to -136 in a 10-minute span around 3 p.m. ET.
