The full read

Travis Kelce caught 4 of 6 targets for 72 yards against the Jets, his second-most yards this season, and scored on a run, in a 35-12 win. His catches were worth +4.2 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, +0.69 a target.

The score came up 14-12 early in the third quarter. Patrick Mahomes's scramble on third and 2 reached the 1, and on fourth and 1 Kelce ran behind the right tackle for the touchdown, +2.2 EPA and 6.1 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. It was his first carry of the season. His most valuable catch came down 6-0 late in the first quarter, third and 10 at the Kansas City 18: 17 yards to keep alive a drive that ended in a touchdown, +2.4 EPA. Up 21-12 later in the third, first and 10 at his own 18, he caught a pass over the middle for 38 yards, and Kenneth Walker scored to finish the drive.

Per target it was above his season. Through Week 8 he had 29 catches on 42 targets for 410 yards, 2 touchdowns and +21.6 EPA, +0.52 a target. Only his 101 yards against the Colts in Week 2 topped this.
