Travis Kelce, Travis Kelce Remains a High-Scoring Tight End at 36 Years Old

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is past the peak of his career, but he's still a top fantasy option for managers seeking consistent production at the tight end position. At 36 years old, Kelce ranks as the TE2 in PPR scoring through the first three weeks of the season. He already has 14 catches for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns. It's early, but he's currently on pace to post his highest touchdown total since 2022, which is also the last time he finished a season as the overall TE1. Kansas City's offense is firing on all cylinders right now, so Kelce should remain a must-start fantasy tight end going forward. Given that his ADP was in the eighth round of fantasy drafts, he also has league-winning upside if he continues to produce at his current pace.

Rashee Rice, Rashee Rice Picking Up Steam After Slow Start

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice dominated the team's target volume in Week 3 and should be a strong option moving forward. In three games, Rice has caught 13 of 17 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown, averaging 10.5 half-PPR fantasy points per game. His most productive game came against the Miami Dolphins, when he hauled in seven of nine targets for 88 yards and out-targeted the next-closest receiver by six. After a slow start to training camp following knee surgery in May, Rice seems to be hitting his stride. With Patrick Mahomes looking great after his knee injury, Rice and the entire offense should be productive this season. He faces the 3-0 Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4, where Rice fits the high-end WR2 category for fantasy purposes.

Emmett Johnson, Emmett Johnson Solidifies Handcuff Status as Usage Grows

Kansas City Chiefs running back Emmett Johnson has solidified his status as the No. 2 option on the depth chart behind Kenneth Walker. It seemed pretty evident that Johnson was second in line after handling 10 carries and four receptions through the first two weeks, and he reinforced his presence as a handcuff with six carries and a 27% snap share in Week 3. Johnson doesn't quite have standalone value in fantasy football, but he should still be a waiver wire target because of the insurance he offers behind Walker. Walker is the overall RB2 in fantasy football with 76 touches and four touchdowns this year, and if he were to miss time, a lot of that volume would be passed on to Johnson. The rookie is a top waiver wire target, especially for managers who have Walker in their lineups and rely on him for substantial production every week.

Xavier Worthy, Xavier Worthy Extremely Quiet in Week 3 Against Miami

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was held to just two catches for 20 yards during Sunday's Week 3 win over the Miami Dolphins. Worthy was on the receiving end of just 10% of Patrick Mahomes' completions, which is a relatively modest proportion for a team's No. 2 receiver. It was also a significant step backward for Worthy after he caught five of seven targets for 25 yards and a touchdown last week. The 23-year-old receiver has been held to fewer than 5.0 fantasy points (PPR) in two of his three games so far, making him a riskier play for Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Rashee Rice, the lone Chiefs wide receiver with more than two catches on Sunday, is the only player from this position group in must-start consideration going forward.

Travis Kelce, Travis Kelce Finds End Zone In Week 3 Victory

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had another productive game in Week 3 as the Chiefs outscored the Miami Dolphins 24-10. The veteran tight end caught both of his targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Miami. While Kelce's production decreased in comparison to his 100-yard performance last week, he remained a top-two target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes on Sunday. Kelce will look to continue scoring touchdowns next week against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders' defense has been a tough matchup for opposing offenses early in the year, but the Chiefs are no ordinary offense. Kelce should continue being one of the most productive tight ends in fantasy due to his usage in the offense and his chemistry with Mahomes. Kelce should be viewed as a TE1 heading into Week 3.
