TravisKelce

News: 2 days agoKelce caught four of eight targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Spin: Kelce increased his career total to 1,104 regular-season catches, passing Hall of Famers Marvin Harrison (1,102) and Cris Carter (1,101) to move up to fifth on the all-time list. Jason Witten holds the fourth spot with 1,228 receptions, so Kelce is more likely to be caught by Keenan Allen (1,084) than Kelce is to catch Witten. Kelce led the Chiefs with eight targets in the absence of WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) and tied fellow TE Noah Gray for the team lead in receiving yards as Kansas City mustered just three Harrison Butker field-goal attempts on offense, two of which missed. This was only the second time Kelce failed to reach the 50-yard threshold in six appearances this season. He had 71 yards in Week 1 against the Broncos, whom the Chiefs will face in a Week 8 road rematch.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Kelce re-signed with the Chiefs and is returning for what might be his final NFL season. The veteran tight end's days as an elite producer are behind him, and he saw a notable dip in usage last season (19.6% target share was his lowest since 2014). Kelce did hold up for 17 games and still finished in the top 10 at the position in snaps, routes, targets, catches, yards and fantasy PPG. Kelce has reeled off 10 consecutive top-five fantasy campaigns despite not offering much in the scoring department (he hasn't cleared five TDs in a season since 2022). The 36-year-old's role could dip even further this season, so he's best valued as a fringe TE1.
