I'm gonna use the Patriots stats from last season as an example (most completions last year in NFL):
Gronk 69 catches (classic Gronk) on 106 targets
Cooks 65 catches on 115 targets
Amendola 61 catches on 86 targets
White 56 catches on 72 targets
Hogan 34 catches on 59 targets
I think if Kendall signs with the Chiefs it's for two reasons:
1. He wants to be on a offense with other weapons around him, I think more often than not Kendall has been on teams with not many other receiving threats (Titans/Bears).
2. He wants to be on a winning team- 6 years into his career he has had a winning record once (9-7 missed playoffs in 2016).

That and I can imagine he wants a qb who will get him the ball. Chicago wouldn't pass the ball. Marriota isn't a good QB and he stares down his primary options. But a vertical offense that opens up the underneath... I don't think he cares about being an 80 catch receiver. But if he can be a good underneath option, and I think he will be... If Albert Wilson can make $8m, he can make much more next contract
