KC WR Chris Conley - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. New Orleans
Chris Conley is starting to get more involved in the Chiefs offense as the second receiver, but he's still not a great option on a weekly basis. He could be a plug-and-start player this week in a favorable matchup against the Saints, but he'd be a hard option to fully trust. He's been held to less than 50 yards in every game but one this season.

KC WR Chris Conley - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Houston
Chris Conley finished 4-for-43 in Week 1 on seven targets, which was a little surprising. But Alex Smith threw for 48 times, which may have inflated his stats. Conley is the No. 2 WR in Kansas City, but that's not saying much. We don't expect him to have much of an impact moving forward.

KC WR Chris Conley - Week 19, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 19 at New England

After Jeremy Maclin departed due to injury last weekend in the wild card round, rookie Chris Conley came off the bench to haul in a touchdown pass. It was Conley’s only catch of the game.

Conley, considered raw coming out of Georgia, has not made a big impact for the Chiefs this year, with 15 receptions for 177 yards, but could be involved quite a bit this week if Maclin is limited or unable to play. While Conley has the physical skills to be successful, he would still be more of a secondary target for Alex Smith even if he takes on a larger role. You would only have a scant chance of being successful if you rolled the dice on Conley.

KC WR Chris Conley - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

There is plenty of attention being devoted to a rookie receiver out of the SEC who was drafted by an AFC West team. And while Oakland’s Amari Cooper deserves plenty of attention, he has some company in his division when it comes to first-year receivers from the SEC with Kansas City's third-round draft pick, Chris Conley out of Georgia. Could the Bulldog steal some thunder from the Crimson Tide star in 2015?

Fantasy Upside
Conley’s athleticism is dazzling. At the combine, he ran a 4.35 in the 40-yard dash. On top of that, he is 6’2”. He did not generate as many headlines as you might expect from someone at one of the SEC’s most storied programs, but Georgia’s offense was anchored by running backs such as Todd Gurley (selected in the first round by the St. Louis Rams) and Nick Chubb. Conley averaged 16.6 yards per catch in Athens and and he steps into a splendid situation in Kansas City. The Chiefs signed Jeremy Maclin in free agency, but as a whole, their receiving corps remains weak overall. Conley can emerge as a full-time player pretty easily.

Fantasy Downside
With Maclin on board, the Chiefs do not have to immediately bank on Conley being their top target. And that is a problem for the 22-year-old, as tight end Travis Kelce will also be a huge part of the passing game. Conley will probably end up running a lot of deeper routes much like former Chief Donnie Avery, but the long ball is not Alex Smith’s specialty. While Avery was a declining player and Conley should easily improve on his numbers, being the third wheel in a slow-paced offense is not a pathway to fantasy success. Albert Wilson, who is currently ahead of Conley on the depth chart, and star runner Jamaal Charles will also catch a decent amount of passes. Missing some time at training camp while he worked through a knee issue didn't help Conley a whole lot either.

Bottom Line
Conley is a very intriguing player for those in dynasty leagues. His natural talent may enable him to eventually emerge as a force. Unfortunately, he does not offer much potential in redraft leagues heading into the season as he will need to get acclimated to the NFL in a system that does him little favors. He should not be drafted, but could eventually stand out on the waiver wire.
