Travis Kelce News
Sunday, August 23, 12:47 PM
Across 17 games in 2025, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recorded 76 catches for 851 yards and five touchdowns on 108 targets. Now entering his age-37 campaign and his 14th NFL season, Kelce is no longer the same player he once was at his superstar peak. The Chiefs could also look to be more conservative with his snap counts in order to preserve his legs throughout the regular season. Still, Kelce has logged over 100 targets in 11 consecutive seasons. It also looks like he will get a full season playing alongside Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee), with whom he clearly has a high level of established chemistry. While Kansas City could get more out of top wide receiver Rashee Rice this season, Rice's history of both injury and off-field issues is always liable to force him off the field. Kelce's ceiling is limited, but he still has value as a low-end TE1 option for fantasy managers.

Tee Higgins News
Monday, August 17, 7:11 PM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has top-12 upside in fantasy football, but injuries to either him or quarterback Joe Burrow have prevented him from reaching his ceiling so far. Through six NFL seasons, Higgins' best fantasy finish is WR15, a mark that he achieved in 2025 despite missing two games. Unfortunately, Burrow also missed plenty of time last year, leaving Higgins with subpar quarterback play for a large portion of the season. Nevertheless, he managed to score 11 touchdowns, marking the second consecutive year in which he made double-digit trips to the end zone. Ironically, as his touchdown total went up, his receptions and yards went down, and he finished last year with a modest 59 catches for 846 yards. If Higgins and Burrow can both stay healthy this year, the 27-year-old receiver should finally push for 1,000+ yards, 10+ touchdowns, and a top-12 fantasy finish. He has proven that he and Ja'Marr Chase can coexist, and we know this offense is capable of supporting numerous big fantasy performances at once. As it stands, Higgins ranks as the WR15 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for 2026.
