ANALYSIS: Many people were worried about the Kansas City Chiefs after their loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 1, but now that Chris Jones and Travis Kelce have returned, the Chiefs are back on top of the NFL world and will be championship favorites until further notice.

Patrick Mahomes has a bunch of young guns at his disposal to throw to, and one player who is quietly making improvements to his game is Skyy Moore. Moore gained international attention after scoring the Cheifs' final touchdown in Super Bowl LVII, which was his first-ever touchdown in the NFL.

Although it'll probably take one or two years for Moore to blossom into a star wideout, he is already on pace to almost triple his statistical production from last season. While improving upon 250 yards isn't an exactly difficult thing to do, small and consistent improvements like these are what distinguish future stars from busts (looking at you, Kadarius Toney).

Moore has been the 33rd-best PPR fantasy receiver in the past two weeks, recording 24.2 points in total. He has also improved his yards per reception (Y/R) from 11.4 as a rookie to 16 this season. We all know that Travis Kelce is Patrick Mahomes' number-one target, but the competition for number two is fierce.

Moore is currently competing with Rashee Rice, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Justin Watson to be the Chiefs' WR1, but is currently the best fantasy wideout on the squad. As the season goes on, Moore can prove himself and get more chances, which will undoubtedly boost his production. This makes him a very appealing waiver wire pickup if you're looking ahead to some of the Chiefs' easier in-division matchups later in the season.
