Travis Kelce

All hail the king of tight ends! Travis Kelce has finished TE1 in PPR fantasy scoring in six of the last seven seasons, settling for a runner-up finish behind Mark Andrews in 2021. The gap between Kelce and all other tight ends was a vast chasm in 2022. Kelce averaged 19.2 PPR points; the next-closest tight end, T.J. Hockenson, averaged 13.3 fantasy points. Kelce has strung together seven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, and he's averaged 8.4 touchdowns per year over that span. In 2022, he had a career-high 110 catches for 1,338 yards and 12 touchdowns. Age is the only real concern for Kelce, who turns 34 in October. But he's been indestructible for most of his career. He missed a game in 2020 due to COVID-19, but Kelce hasn't missed a game due to injury over the last nine years. Kelce is a worth first-round pick in fantasy drafts, and you can make a strong case that he should be a top-five pick.

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce, who dealt with back spasms after the team’s divisional round win, is expected to play despite his questionable designation.

Fantasy Impact

Kelce was more than just a difference maker against Jacksonville, he was historic. His 14 catches set a postseason record for a tight end, and he topped it off with 98 yards and two touchdowns. Whether it was Chad Henne or Patrick Mahomes under center, Kelce found his way open. Against the Bengals, the Chiefs will need to rely on his abilities again to reach the Super Bowl.
