Travis Kelce News
Sunday, November 8, 5:39 PM
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce continues to defy Father Time in 2026 and was the team's leading receiver in their 35-12 blowout win at home against the New York Jets on Sunday in Week 9 to snap a two-game losing streak. Kelce was once again one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite weapons, catching four of his six targets for a team-high 72 receiving yards. He also found the end zone for the first time since Week 3 on a one-yard carry at the goal line. Kelce's six targets were just one behind receiver Rashee Rice and were tied with Xavier Worthy. The future Hall of Fame tight end is no longer competing for the title of best fantasy TE in his 14th NFL season, but he has proven once again to be a TE1 in fantasy football in what could be the final year of his illustrious career. With his 72 yards on Sunday against the Jets, Mahomes and Kelce are now the most prolific QB-TE combo in NFL history, surpassing Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates. Kelce will take a 33-482-2 line (one rushing touchdown) in a solid Week 10 matchup versus the Atlanta Falcons. Mahomes had an injury scare on Sunday when his right elbow was hit by a defender, but the star signal-caller returned to the game and should be fine going forward, which is good news for Kelce's fantasy managers.

George Kittle News
Sunday, November 8, 6:04 PM
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught four of his seven targets for 58 yards during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. This isn't a bad stat line by any means, but it was somewhat modest when you consider that the 49ers dropped 38 points and 414 total yards of offense. San Francisco demonstrated a clear commitment to running the ball; head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he wanted to run the ball 40 times on Sunday, and indeed, the team finished with 43 rush attempts. We expect Kittle to return to his mid-to-high TE1 form next week, especially with the 49ers dealing with plenty of injuries at the wide receiver position. The physical pass-catcher has the opportunity to continue operating as Brock Purdy's favorite target if Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) are forced to miss more time.
