Who Will Have More Receiving Yards Travis Kelce or Tyreek Hill?

As loaded as the Kansas City Chiefs are on offense, they have two main pass catchers who keep everything moving. Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill have been the centerpieces of the Chiefs’ offense for several years and 2021 won’t be any different. 

Their skill sets are different, with Hill arguably being the most explosive player in the league and Kelce being “Mr. Reliable.” Although they are one of the best pass-catching duos in the league, figuring out who will have more receiving yards each year is a fun question. 

WynnBET has Hill’s odds to lead the league in receiving at +800, second in the league. Kelce is ninth in the league with +1800 odds. Despite the two being separated by a noticeable margin, the race will be closer than you think.

Since Hill came into the league five years ago, Kelce has finished the season with more receiving yards in three of those seasons -- including the last two. 

Going into this season, I would take Kelce to win the receiving battle between the two for a third straight year. Kelce gets more targets every year and consistently has a higher catch percentage than Hill. The reason Hill is able to keep up with Kelce is because of his big play ability. Normally, you would have to factor out having several big plays every season, but it is required to schedule in home run plays for Hill.

Hill’s speed alone would be a threat to Kelce’s run as the team leader in receiving yards, but Kelce is Patrick Mahomes’ security blanket and will continue to be that this season. 

The Chiefs are expected to try to bring Mecole Hardman into the mix more and even try out two tight end sets, which could affect both of their pass catchers. Nevertheless, Hill and Kelce will be among the league leaders in receiving yards and the Chiefs are lucky just to have them both.
