Avery was inactive for the season finale against the Chargers. Avery began the season as the Chiefs' number two receiver, but the combination of a groin injury and poor performance upon return knocked him out of the active lineup in favor of Albert Wilson. While he came into 2014 locked into the no. 2 spot after 40 receptions for 596 yards and two touchdowns in 2013, the veteran wideout will now have to compete to earn back his spot ahead of the rookie in Wilson. Avery finished his disappointing 2014 campaign with 15 receptions for 176 yards and no touchdowns.
