Fantasy Football Player Notes

With 35-year-old Travis Kelce now in the twilight of his career, his numbers have begun to slip. His 8.5 yards per catch and 1.49 yards per route run in 2024 were career lows, and Kelce's TD total last season (3) was his lowest since a rookie season in which he played one game. Still, Kelce had 97 catches for 823 yards in 16 games and finished TE5 in PPR scoring despite the touchdown shortage. Kelce will turn 36 in October and is no longer the same player who finished TE1 in fantasy scoring six times from 2016 to 2022. But Kelce has a strong rapport with Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, and Kelce's 2024 reception and yardage totals suggest there's still gas in the tank.
