Conley was the target of just one pass Sunday against the Bengals, recording the catch for six yards.
EDGE Analysis
Despite seeing the field for 66 percent of the offensive snaps Sunday, Conley remains buried in the pecking order for the Chiefs as far as pass-catching options go. Barring an injury to others ahead of him on the depth chart, it's difficult to see him producing much even in one of the league's best offenses.

Conley played 38 snaps in Sunday's game against the Patriots but turned in just one catch for 19 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Regardless of how frequently Conley is on the field, he's buried on the pecking order for targets behind a score of talented pass catchers. Barring an injury, he's nothing more than a DFS fantasy dart in good matchups.

Conley caught two of his five targets for 21 yards Sunday against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Conley played the third-most snaps behind Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins on Sunday, taking the field on 61 percent of the offensive plays. Given his placement on the pecking order behind Hill, Watkins, Travis Kelce and Kareem Hunt, Conley is unlikely to see a ton of targets on a weekly basis. That could change slightly if one of the wideouts misses time.

Conley hauled in four passes on six targets for 13 yards Monday against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Conley's role expanded after Sammy Watkins exited Monday with a hamstring injury, and he saw a corresponding increase with a season-high six targets and 73 offensive snaps as a result. While the four catches are encouraging, he still hasn't finished a game with more than 17 receiving yards this season. Depending on the severity of Watkins' injury, Conley could be in line for an expanded role next week against a stingy Jacksonville defense.

Conley nabbed both of his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown Sunday in the Chiefs' 42-37 win over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Pat Mahomes spread the wealth around generously in Week 2, as Conley was one of five players to reel in the quarterback's six touchdown passes. While finding paydirt was enough for Conley to pay dividends for those in deeper leagues who activated him, he's drawn only three targets across 71 offensive snaps through the Chiefs' two games. Since tight end Travis Kelce and wideouts Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins compare favorably with just about any team's top three pass catchers, there may not be much incentive for the Chiefs to expand their usage tree and make getting Conley the ball a greater priority.

Conley caught his only target for 15 yards in Week 1 against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Although Conley played 35 snaps during Sunday's contest, he wasn't heavily involved in the game plan. That will likely remain the case this season with Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, Sammy Watkins and Kareem Hunt all vying for looks in the passing game.

Conley started Saturday's preseason game against Chicago and caught each of his three targets for 22 yards.
EDGE Analysis
The Chiefs opened in a three-wide formation with Conley, Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins on the field. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Demarcus Robinson played into the fourth quarter, providing a strong hint that Conley has the No. 3 WR job locked down. Of course, the role doesn't figure to come with many targets in an offense featuring Hill, Watkins, Travis Kelce and Kareem Hunt.

Conley took the field for only five offensive snaps in Thursday's preseason opener, failing to log a stat in the box score.
EDGE Analysis
Given the severe nature of Conley's injury from a season ago -- a torn Achilles -- it wouldn't be surprising if the coaching staff decides to bring him back slowly. In the meantime, Demarcus Robinson has once again compiled an impressive camp and could challenge Conley for the No. 3 job. This rings especially true if the team wants to keep Sammy Watkins and Tyreek Hill on the outside, as Robinson better fits the mold of a slot receiver.

Conley (Achilles) took part in some of the 11-on-11 team drills, usually signifying that a player is healthy, the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley landed on injured reserved in mid-October after suffering a ruptured Achilles in Week 5 against the Texans, ending what was expected to be a potential break out season. Entering his fourth season as a pro, Conley's best showing to date came in 2016 when he racked up 44 catches for 530 yards. Despite his ideal size (6-foot-3), Conley has turned in just one touchdown in his first three seasons and the lack of production overall led the Chiefs to bring in Sammy Watkins this offseason. Conley could still factor into three-receiver sets, but he may have missed his opportunity to emerge from the pack as a consistent contributor.

Conley (Achilles) looked to be moving well and showed some burst during Thursday's OTA, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley ruptured his Achilles in October after collecting 11 passes on 16 targets over five games (all starts) during the 2017 season. Drafted in the third round of 2015 as a project with ideal measurables for the position, Conley has turned the first three years of his career into just 71 receptions and one receiving touchdown. The addition of Sammy Watkins this offseason lessens his prospects further entering 2018, with Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and Kareem Hunt already set to absorb a large number of targets.
