Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Houston Texans on Saturday in Week 16. Kelce is coming off a down game against the Cleveland Browns in Week 15. The 35-year-old had four catches for 27 yards in the contest. Kelce will try to top those numbers this week against the Texans, who rank fourth in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season. Despite having an injury scare in last week's game, Patrick Mahomes practiced fully all week and is good to go for Saturday. Mahomes' health significantly impacts Kelce's fantasy production, so it's a good sign that he's off the injury report. Kelce is ranked TE7 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a solid TE1. Fantasy managers will hope for a vintage Kelce performance in the fantasy playoffs this week.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught four passes for 27 yards in the 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns. Despite demanding eight targets, Kelce could not convert those opportunities into a viable fantasy performance. The 35-year-old's longest catch of the day went for just eight yards, and he was held scoreless for the fifth straight game. Fellow tight end Noah Gray had his fifth touchdown of the year in this contest, while Kelce's scoring total sits at two on the season. The veteran tight end will look to turn it around next week against the Houston Texans, who rank fourth in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season. Kelce's value has come mainly through his immense volume of opportunities, but he has failed to score 10 PPR fantasy points in three of his last five games. It should also be noted that Patrick Mahomes left this contest with an ankle injury, and his status for next week is in doubt. With all these factors in mind, it may be time to re-evaluate expectations for Kelce moving forward. That said, fantasy managers will be hard-pressed to find a better option off the waiver wire.
Dec 16, 2024 4:24 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 15. Kelce had a lackluster performance last week against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 35-year-old had five catches for 45 yards in Week 14, a far cry from the top-tier TE1 numbers he was putting up earlier this season. Kelce will look to turn it around this week against the Browns, who rank 23rd in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season. If the Jameis Winston-led Browns offense can make it a competitive game against the Chiefs, Kelce may be able to deliver a more productive game for fantasy managers. The veteran tight end is ranked TE4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a clear TE1 option this week. Fantasy managers will have to hope for more productivity from Kelce in the first week of the fantasy playoffs.
Dec 14, 2024 12:15 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught five passes for 45 yards in the 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 35-year-old was held under 60 receiving yards for the second time since Week 8 and has not found the endzone since Week 10. Kelce's performances have been serviceable from a fantasy perspective, given the landscape of the tight end position, but he has not been delivering high-end TE1 numbers over the past month. The emergence of backup tight end Noah Gray has also limited Kelce's fantasy ceiling, but he will try to right the ship next week against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns rank 22nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, making them one of the more advantageous matchups. The hope is that the Browns offense pushes the pace of the game and makes the Chiefs offense play in a back-and-forth affair. The Chiefs have been doing enough to squeeze out wins, and Kelce's touchdown upside has taken a hit. Fantasy managers will hope for a vintage Kelce performance in Week 15.
Dec 9, 2024 10:26 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 14. The veteran tight end had seven catches for 68 yards in last week's close victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Kelce put forth a serviceable performance against the Raiders but will have a more challenging time this week against the Chargers, who rank eighth in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season. Kelce's upside has been capped with other Chiefs pass catchers getting more involved, specifically backup tight end Noah Gray. Gray has at least four catches in the last three games and scored four times in that span. That said, Kelce is seeing almost unmatched volume at the tight end position, with double-digit targets in five games this year. Kelce is ranked TE3 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a high-end TE1. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting him despite the difficult matchup.
Dec 7, 2024 11:32 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught seven passes for 68 yards in the 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders handed the victory to the Chiefs with a last-minute fumble. Kelce remained the focal point of the Kansas City passing attack. The 35-year-old had the most catches on the team but averaged just 9.7 yards per catch. Kelce has failed to find the endzone in three straight games since scoring against the Denver Broncos in Week 10. The veteran tight end will look to score next week against the Los Angeles Chargers, who rank 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season. Kelce has been usable as a TE1 but has yet to produce a signature ceiling performance in nearly a month. That said, Kelce has been producing better numbers than most tight ends and is a no-doubt TE1 every week.
Nov 30, 2024 4:28 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. Kelce had an average performance by his standards, but he was a bit underwhelming compared to his fantasy expectations in a great matchup. The 35-year-old star finished the contest with six catches for 62 yards against the Panthers. Kelce will look to eclipse that performance this week against the Raiders, who rank 30th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season. Kelce will have a better chance to explode if Las Vegas can stay competitive, but he should see significant volume regardless of the game script. Kelce is ranked TE2 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a top tight-end option. Fantasy managers should have no worries at tight end with Kelce in their lineup.
Nov 28, 2024 2:18 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught six passes for 62 yards in the 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers. Kelce paced the team in targets and catches in this close victory but took a backseat to the team's other tight end. Noah Gray finished the game with two touchdowns and the most receiving yards on the team. Despite not scoring in this contest, Kelce should still be viewed as a top-tier tight end option heading into the team's Black Friday matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders rank 32nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, meaning Kelce will have the most favorable matchup for tight ends next week. Fantasy managers should be content with this performance and expect a more dominant game next week.
Nov 25, 2024 4:04 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Kelce is coming off a poor performance in the team's first loss of the season against the Buffalo Bills. The veteran tight end caught two passes for eight yards in the 21-30 loss last week. Kelce will look to bounce back from that lackluster performance against the Panthers, who rank 31st in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season. The 35-year-old has been one of the most valuable tight ends in fantasy football since Rashee Rice's injury, with only two dud games since Week 3. Kelce is ranked TE3 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a top-tier TE1 option. Fantasy managers should continue to start him confidently.
Nov 23, 2024 2:43 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught two passes for eight yards in the 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs were handed their first loss of the season, and Kelce was the target on the game-ending interception. The veteran tight end finished the game with just four targets against the stingy Buffalo defense. Despite being the focal point of the Kansas City passing attack every week, Kelce was held in check in this contest. The 35-year-old will look to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers next week. The Panthers rank 32nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so Kelce should have his way against them. Despite this underwhelming performance, Kelce should still be considered a top-tier tight-end option for the rest of the season.
Nov 17, 2024 7:49 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. Kelce had a strong performance against the Denver Broncos last week, totaling eight catches for 64 yards and a touchdown. The 35-year-old will now face a Buffalo defense that ranks 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Regardless of the matchup, Kelce has been the focal point of the Kansas City offense since Rashee Rice went down with an injury. The Chiefs star tight end has scored at least 20 points the last three games in a PPR format. Kelce's ability to find soft spots in the zone allows Mahomes a safety valve to move the chains easily. Kelce is ranked TE1 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings again this week. Fantasy managers should continue to start Kelce confidently.
Nov 15, 2024 4:14 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught eight passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in the 16-14 win over the Denver Broncos.

Kelce scored his touchdown on a two-yard strike from Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter. The Chiefs narrowly escaped with the victory in this contest on a last-second blocked field goal by the Kansas City defense. Kelce produced another high-end TE1 performance this week, and fantasy managers should excited about his matchup with the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. The Bills rank 15th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so Kelce should continue his elite production. The veteran tight end has seen immense volume every week since Rashee Rice's injury, and his fantasy production has skyrocketed ever since. Fantasy managers should continue starting Kelce as a TE1 every week.
Nov 10, 2024 4:24 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Kelce is coming off a season-best performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. The veteran tight end had 14 catches on 16 targets for 100 yards in the 30-24 overtime win. Kelce will transition from facing one of the most favorable matchups to one of the toughest. The Broncos rank 10th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so Kelce will have his work cut out for him. That said, Kelce is among the few elite tight ends with a strong guaranteed workload every week. Kelce is ranked TE2 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week in a difficult matchup, but fantasy managers should feel great about starting him every week.
Nov 9, 2024 3:59 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught 14 of 16 targets for 100 in the 30-24 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Chiefs star tight end was undoubtedly the focal point of the passing attack, earning seven more targets than the next closest pass catcher. Kelce improved on his season-best performance from last week with more catches, targets, and yards than any other game this season. The only negative was that the Chiefs tight end did not find the endzone, but he still reached 22 points in a full-PPR format. Kelce will look to keep the good times rolling against the Denver Broncos in Week 10. The Broncos rank 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so it will be a challenging matchup for Kelce. That said, Kelce is the alpha in the Kansas City passing attack, and his volume of targets will likely negate most defensive matchups moving forward. Kelce will continue to be ranked as a top-tier TE1 for as long as he is healthy.
Nov 5, 2024 4:41 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. Kelce had his best game of the season last week against the Las Vegas Raiders, totaling 10 catches on 12 targets for 90 yards and one touchdown. Kelce had his most catches, targets, and receiving yards this season in that one game against the Raiders, and now he has an even better matchup. The Buccaneers rank 27th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, meaning Kelce has a top-5 matchup at the position this week. The Chiefs tight end has already established himself as the top pass catcher in the absence of Rashee Rice, and the matchup raises his ceiling even further. DeAndre Hopkins should be more involved in the Kansas City passing attack, but Kelce should still get enough volume. Kelce is ranked as TE1 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week and should be started every week.
Nov 2, 2024 10:45 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had 10 catches for 90 yards and a touchdown in the 27-20 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. Kelce dominated in this contest, leading the Chiefs pass catchers in catches, targets, and receiving yards. The veteran tight end was the only player on either team to earn double-digit targets in this game, as Kelce finished the game with 12 targets. Despite the addition of DeAndre Hopkins, Kelce did not see a reduction in usage. Kelce will look for another strong performance in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs rank 23rd in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so it will not be a difficult matchup for Mahomes' top target. There is a chance that Kelce's volume will decrease as Hopkins becomes more integrated into the Chiefs passing attack, but Kelce should still be viewed as a set-and-forget TE1 in the foreseeable future.
Oct 28, 2024 4:27 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Since the loss of Rashee Rice due to a knee injury, Kelce has been the benefactor of the relinquished targets. After two weeks of strong utilization in the offense, Kelce had a down game in Week 7. Kelce had four catches for 17 yards against the San Francisco 49ers. Kelce will take on the Raiders, who rank eighth in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, but he will likely receive a large percentage of the passing volume. The arrival of All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins may cap Kelce's ceiling for volume but could help his efficiency by attracting more defensive coverage. Kelce is ranked as TE3 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, so start him as a high-end TE1.
Oct 26, 2024 4:24 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had four catches for 17 yards on five targets in the win against the San Francisco 49ers. Kelce had the second-most targets among Chiefs pass catchers in this contest but could not eclipse 20 receiving yards or find the endzone. After the departure of Rashee Rice from the wide receiver corps, Kelce was vacuuming up targets across the middle of the field, but the Niners tried to eliminate him. Kelce should be the favorite to lead the team in targets every week moving forward, which should be the case in Week 8. The Chiefs take on the Las Vegas Raiders on the road next week. Kelce saw seven targets in each game against the Raiders last season, so he is one of the safest bets for volume at the tight end position. Fantasy managers should continue to view Kelce as a TE1 despite the poor showing this week.
Oct 20, 2024 9:46 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. Kelce and the Chiefs should be fresh coming off their Week 6 bye. The Chiefs tight end put together a strong performance in the team's last contest against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. Kelce caught nine passes for 70 yards against the Saints two weeks ago. With wide receiver Rashee Rice likely out for the remainder of the regular season, Kelce should continue to see a high-volume workload. However, the Chiefs are facing the Niners, who know them well. These two teams matched up in the 2020 Super Bowl, and Kansas City walked away with the victory in that game. The Niners know that Kelce is the biggest threat in the Kansas City passing attack, which means he could see some extra attention in this contest. The San Francisco defense is ranked 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so this matchup will not be a walk in the park. Despite the tough matchup, Kelce is seeing elite opportunity as a tight end, and he should be started with confidence every week.
Oct 18, 2024 4:02 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught nine passes for 70 yards in the 26-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. Kelce led the team in targets and receptions for the second week following the loss of wide receiver Rashee Rice. Despite being a focal point of the Chiefs offense, Kelce has yet to score a touchdown this season. The Chiefs tight end should continue to be peppered with targets, as he will likely be the preferred pass catcher moving forward. Kelce and the Chiefs will enter their bye week with an undefeated record, so fantasy managers must make plans for their tight end position in Week 6.
