Travis Kelce News
Thursday, July 30, 11:52 AM
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce looked sharp during Wednesday's first full-squad training camp practice, making a fingertip catch from Patrick Mahomes between two linebackers during seven-on-seven work, according to The Athletic. Head coach Andy Reid said Kelce looked good physically, remained in shape, and continued setting an example through his willingness to take practice repetitions. The 36-year-old is entering his 14th NFL season after catching 76 passes for 851 yards and five touchdowns across 17 games in 2025. Although his reception total declined from 97 in 2024, his average increased from 8.5 to 11.2 yards per catch. Kelce has not announced whether he plans to play beyond the 2026 season, but he remains a central part of Kansas City's passing game and an important leader for the roster. One seven-on-seven highlight does not resolve the age-related concerns surrounding his fantasy outlook, though his full participation and early movement are encouraging signs.

Pat Freiermuth News
Sunday, August 2, 10:50 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth is coming off a disappointing season, but there is at least a path back to usable fantasy production. He caught 41 passes for 486 yards and four touchdowns in 2025, well below the 65 catches, 653 yards, and seven scores he posted the year before. Jonnu Smith is gone after drawing 38 receptions last season, and Freiermuth said during the spring that he expects his role to grow in Mike McCarthy's offense. Aaron Rodgers is also back, and the two connected for a 25-yard touchdown during the fourth practice of training camp. None of that makes Freiermuth a breakout pick. Darnell Washington earned a new five-year contract after setting career highs with 31 catches and 364 yards, while Michael Pittman Jr. joins DK Metcalf as another established target. RotoBaller ranks Freiermuth as the TE23 in redraft and TE36 in dynasty. That makes sense. He is worth a late look for managers who wait at tight end, but the volume is too uncertain to treat him as more than a TE2. In dynasty, he is closer to a hold or modest sell than a player worth aggressively buying.
