Josh Kelley had a solid performance in the Chargers' loss to the Chiefs, running for 75 yards and a touchdown. However, it's important not to overanalyze his production as it was largely due to a 49-yard touchdown run where he exploited a hole in the defense. Kelley's other carries averaged 4.3 yards per rush, outperforming Austin Ekeler's 3.2 yards per carry. While Kelley saw an increase in workload compared to the previous week, where he only had one carry in Ekeler's return, he has generally been more effective as a complement to Ekeler. It remains to be seen if Kelley will continue to receive more opportunities in the future.
