Three plays, 49 yards, and one veteran tight end rose to the top for Kansas City in Week 1 of the NFL preseason. Robert Tonyan hauled in three passes for 49 yards to lead the Chiefs’ tight ends, a notable performance that hints at a real depth chart battle behind Travis Kelce. Jared Wiley joined the mix with a two-yard grab, illustrating the club’s willingness to test its backup options in the wake of a forgettable offensive showing. The coaching staff was left with meaningful decisions as cuts loom and roster spots tighten. Tonyan’s production could tilt the balance toward a secure spot on the 53-man roster, while Wiley’s contribution keeps a young secondary option in play. Kelce remains the focal point, but Tonyan’s outing adds a layer of intrigue in the Chiefs’ pass-game plans and red-zone look. KC’s TE room suddenly feels multi-faceted, which could influence late-round fantasy picks and weekly streaming decisions if the trend continues.
