Travis Kelce

We finally saw Travis Kelce hit the age cliff. The Chiefs tight end was the TE6 overall and TE7 in points per game through 17 weeks. And outside a big game against Houston in the playoffs, he was a non-factor in the Chiefs' other two postseason contests.
He is trending in the wrong direction, but he can't be completely ignored attached to Patrick Mahomes with a heavily discounted ADP. Kelce was 4th in expected fantasy points per game in 2024 after finishing first in red-zone targets.
Regarding Kelce's future and potential retirement, the team will know by March 15th at the latest given the $11.5 million roster bonus in his contract. Early indications are the 35-year-old will be returning.

Travis Kelce has officially announced he is returning for the 2025 season.

Fantasy Impact

Kelce texted Pat McAfee the news. McAfee said the “source” he reached out to regarding Kelce’s future replied to his text saying, “I’m coming back for sure. I’m gonna try and get to the best shape I’ve been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop.” It was a down season for Kelce last year, hauling in 97 passes for 823 yards and three touchdown. His best days are likely behind him, but he'll still be a reliable target for Patrick Mahomes in the middle of the field.
