Travis Kelce News

Travis Kelce has Buy-Low Dynasty Value

Tuesday, July 7, 5:38 PM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is back for at least one more season. The 36-year-old isn't the same top-tier fantasy tight end that he used to be, but that doesn't mean he can't be a reliable contributor. This past season, Kelce hauled in 76 receptions, 851 receiving yards, and five touchdowns across 17 games with the Chiefs. The 76-catch season was his lowest since the 2015 season, but that goes to show how long Kelce has been an elite player in this league. The Chiefs don't have many reliable pass-catchers on offense outside of Rashee Rice, and hopefully Xavier Worthy takes a step forward. The health of quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) also plays a factor in the fantasy value of Kelce. If everything goes right for the Chiefs, Kelce should still be a fringe top-10 fantasy tight end next season. Given his age, fantasy managers needing a tight end might be able to snag Kelce for cheap, with this possibly being his last season.

Tucker Kraft's Dynasty Upside Remains Sky-High Despite Injury Setback

Thursday, July 16, 10:29 AM

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft's (knee) 2025 season came to a premature end when he suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 9. However, the latest reporting indicates that Kraft is on track to be fully ready to go for the start of the 2026 season. The 25-year-old looked to be on his way to a breakout campaign before getting injured last year, recording 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns on 44 targets across eight games, ranking as the TE4 by per-game PPR scoring. While Kraft may not be the highest-target-volume tight end in the NFL, he averaged a ridiculously efficient 15.3 yards per reception in 2025. If Kraft gets back to full health and continues along the development arc he was on before the injury, he could have TE1 overall upside. With his current injury status, now might be the last buy-low window dynasty managers have on Kraft.
