News: 5 hours agoGray recorded four catches on four targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Panthers.

Spin: Gray scored twice for the second consecutive week, this time coming on receptions of 35 and 11 yards. He's now earned at least four targets in consecutive games and seems to be prioritized ahead of peripheral pass catchers in the Chiefs' offense such as JuJu Smith-Schuster and Justin Watson. That could give Gray some streaming appeal going forward, though his overall lack of volume still makes him unreliable on a weekly basis.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Gray is back for his third season with the Chiefs. Travis Kelce's primary backup, Gray has posted almost identical stats each of the last two seasons, posting a 28-299-1 receiving line in 2022 and 28-298-2 line in 2023. Gray obviously is without standalone fantasy value, but he's a name to know should Kelce miss time. Kelce was out in Week 1 last season and, while Gray had a fairly quiet game, he played 87% of the snaps and was targeted five times. Gray should not be drafted, but scoop him up if Kelce is sidelined.
