Chiefs Hoping Travis Kelce Returns in 2026

Tuesday, February 24, 7:41 AM

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said on Tuesday at the NFL scouting combine that the team is hoping that impending free-agent tight end Travis Kelce returns for a 14th NFL season, according to Nate Taylor of ESPN. At the same time, Veach said the Chiefs are "prepared for either scenario" when discussing Kelce's future. The 36-year-old future Hall of Famer is contemplating retirement for the second straight offseason, but the general feeling is that he will return in 2026. Kelce was still plenty productive last year despite the Chiefs not making the playoffs for the first time in a decade. He finished as the TE4 in half-PPR scoring with 76 receptions on 108 targets for 851 yards and five touchdowns in 17 games played. If Kelce does come back for a 14th season, it will likely be in KC. Durability will continue to be a concern for Kelce near the end of his career, but if he's back next season, he should still be firmly on the TE1 radar in fantasy drafts.

Luke Musgrave's Fantasy Relevance is Waning Going into 2026

Wednesday, February 25, 10:34 AM

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave is heading into the fourth year of his rookie contract and failed to take advantage of starting opportunities in 2025 after fellow tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) went down for the season in Week 9. From Week 10 on, Musgrave saw just a 47% snap share and averaged only 2.3 targets per game. The 25-year-old tight end out of Oregon State finished the regular season with 24 catches for 252 yards and no touchdowns, and added one reception for nine yards in the Wild Card game against the Chicago Bears. Fantasy managers need to look back to Musgrave's rookie year in 2023, when he tallied four top-12 tight end performances over his 11 games played, to justify holding him in dynasty leagues going into the 2026 season.
