Richie James Might Have More On His Plate

Richie James Might Have More On His Plate

11 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Richie James is in line for greater usage on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. James caught 57 of his 70 passes for 569 yards and four touchdowns as one of the NFL's catch rate leaders (81.4%) with the New York Giants a year ago, so he could serve as a security blanket out of the slot for quarterback Blaine Gabbert with top slot man Rashee Rice (hamstring) on the sidelines for Week 18. James has only appeared in eight games for the Chiefs in 2023, pulling in eight of his 12 targets for 99 scoreless yards. The 28-year-old veteran figures to be busier than usual in the regular-season finale, but it remains a crapshoot in terms of trying to predict which of K.C.'s receivers will emerge from a likely committee with the most opportunities.
