Travis Kelce News
Tuesday, May 5, 12:58 PM
Despite some speculation that he might retire at the end of the 2025 season, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce remains atop his team's depth chart heading into 2026. The 36-year-old is no longer the player he once was at his peak, but he still turned in a productive season with 76 catches for 851 yards and five touchdowns on 108 targets across 17 games in 2025. Kelce's fantasy value is closely tied to the health of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee), who is currently making his way back from knee surgery. Mahomes is expected to participate in OTAs, which could mean he's on track to be fully healthy by Week 1 of 2026. As long as he has his quarterback, Kelce looks like a good bet to put together another top-12 tight end season in PPR-scoring fantasy leagues. His uncertain future beyond 2026 limits his dynasty upside, but Kelce remains an appealing win-now option at the tight end position.

Theo Johnson News
Sunday, April 26, 1:01 PM
As a second-year player in 2025, New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson trailed only Wan'Dale Robinson in team targets and receptions, but even with Robinson departing in free agency, dynasty managers may have already seen Johnson's ceiling. Tight end Isaiah Likely was one of the team's first free agent acquisitions, reuniting him with new Giants head coach John Harbaugh. Darnell Mooney, who saw 100 targets as recently as 2024, was brought in as the most direct replacement to Robinson, and New York spent a third-round pick on Notre Dame wide receiver Malachi Fields to further bolster the room. The biggest barrier to volume for Johnson and all other Giants pass catchers, though, is the expected return to health of Malik Nabers, who tore his ACL only four weeks into the 2025 season. Nabers set an NFL rookie record with 170 targets in 2024, while his 109 receptions broke a team record, and with him back in the lineup, the quintet of Johnson, Likely, Mooney, Fields, and Darius Slayton could legitimately be working with less than 70% of Jaxson Dart's available targets.
