Gray logged just four total snaps in this one, indicating the Chiefs value him as a capable passing-game contributor. Most skill position starters rested in this one though some, like Gray, remained active in a reserve capacity. Gray could be an interesting leverage option in playoff DFS tournaments.
The Chiefs listed numerous healthy, core players as doubtful to play this week with Kelce of course among them. His deactivation was fully expected. Backup tight end Noah Gray is an intriguing, if volatile, dart throw. The fourth-year veteran is having a career-best season and the Chiefs could use the opportunity to see what they have in Gray for the long-term. It is possible Andy Reid already views Gray as an important passing-game contributor though so he may have a limited role, with the playoffs in mind.
