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.

Zay Flowers News
Monday, August 24, 10:02 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers did not participate in Monday's practice, according to Sam Cohn. Flowers eventually walked onto the field in sneakers and a T-shirt, with Cohn noting that he appeared to be moving around fine. Baltimore has not given a reason for his absence. The 25-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, finishing 2025 with 86 catches for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns while playing all 17 games. For now, there isn't enough here to treat Monday's absence as anything more than something to monitor. Unless the Ravens provide additional information or Flowers continues to miss practice, there is no reason for fantasy managers to change their outlook on him heading toward Week 1.
