TE Jared Wiley, KC (1 Viewer)

Matt McMullen
“He’s sneaky…He tested really well, but you also see that speed on tape.”

Chiefs’ area scout Jason Lamb spoke about tight end Jared Wiley’s dynamic skillset on Saturday. The 6-foot-6, 250 pound Wiley caught three passes 20+ yards downfield in 2023.

Cecil Lammey had to step off the radio to get some fresh air when he had been calling for my Broncos to grab him and lost him to the Chiefs. Cecil did the same thing when KC got pacheco and he called for the Broncos to take him as well.

Tho I think Cecil is a fan of the steelers, but he's on Denver radio. One of the few people I like in denver sports

Yeah Cecil was really pounding the table for this guy- thinks he has WR skills
 
The problem with taking such a late flyer on a TE is that it's probably a 2-3 year ramp up before he becomes playable (if he ever does) and that's just eating roster space in the meantime.

Agreed plus Gray is actually a pretty good TE in his own right. Murky situation IMO.

Generally, the better strategy is to allow someone else to roster the TE prospect, then in a year or two, when that dynasty manager releases the player to free up the roster spot, grab him. This will at least cut your wait time and frustration. If you grab Wiley now, you commit to a potentially long wait on an uncertain prospect. I like Wiley's potential upside, but if you are penciling him in for 2026 with Kelce's production, you will likely be disappointed.

Yeah, it's a long ramp. Obviously roster size, taxi squd eligibility, etc plays a role but as much as I like him I don't think I can roster him with that kind of commitment.

Gray is on the last year of his deal so it seems like Wiley can step into the Gray role in year. The thing is that role is meaningless unless something happens to Kelce. Of course with his age, the likelihood of something happening is increasing.

I agree in short bench leagues. You see so many young TEs dropped in that setup. The Darnell Washington's, Schoonmaker's, and Kraft's are floating on the WW in most of those leagues.

Even in a league with 30 roster spots- how long can you really hold on to Darnell Washington? How many years of doing nothing is worth his likely small payoff?

#Chiefs TE coach Tom Melvin on Jared Wiley: "He's done a very good job assimilating to what we call things. Similar offense. It's really not that foreign, but the volume is. He's doing a good job, playing a lot faster every day. He's got a long way to go, but we're encouraged."

“Wiley might turn out to be the biggest surprise of the 2024 NFL draft class for Kansas City. He's already getting a lot of play with the starters, getting looks in the red zone in the Jody Fortson role.

If he's good enough when the pads come on, he could quickly supplant Gray, who is slated to be a free agent in 2025.”

Mahomes on Wiley: “I anticipate he comes in and learns and gets better and better. The physicality and the size and speed, you see that. Now, we get to test the mental ability and that tight end position is hard in the NFL, especially in coach Reid’s offense. You have to be able to block and make all the blocking assignments but also do all the passing stuff, too. He’s doing a great job with that so far and we’re going to keep pushing him and see what we can do. There’s going to be a lot of competition in that room, obviously with Travis (Kelce) and Noah (Gray) but even the other guys that we have. I’m excited for him to get in and get the work and come back and hopefully be a big impact on our team.”

You are going to want to grab Wiley. He's gonna leapfrog Noah Gray in my opinion.

Nate Taylor - Chiefs beat write for The Athletic REALLY likes him. Just heard a bit with Nate on the radio.

If it were me I'd get Wiley for sure for Dynasty.
 
@32BeatWriters
“Tight ends (3): Travis Kelce, Noah Gray, Jared Wiley…Gray and Wiley can be interchangeable within the offense as the second tight end in some formations. Wiley’s development in camp and the preseason didn’t accelerate as much as the Chiefs wanted, but he could be a rotational contributor on offense midway through the season.

I’m not seeing it…….yet.
 
Feels like another question mark TE duo if Kelce misses time, but Gray would probably be the guy I would look to in 2024 if it were to happen. Wiley maybe more of a long / ceiling play. I was confused by some podcasts anointing a rookie 4th rounder as the next KC fantasy TE over the former 5th rounder Gray, with years of experience in the offense under his belt. Especially when it was coming from the same people who once promoted Gray as deep league TE stash and never really seemed to move off of that according to my scorecard.

I consider both guys to monitor in 24x12 team non-TE premium dynasty. Not currently worthy of rostering. I stashed Gray for a little bit here and there in 22-23 before deciding the ceiling probably didn't warrant the use of a roster spot.
