Projected 85–100 receptions in PPR; safest TE floor at pick 93.
Travis KelceTEKC
Kelce was drafted at pick 93 in a tight end premium format. In a 17-game season with Patrick Mahomes, his reception projection should be 85–95 receptions, potentially reaching 100 passes, especially if he replaces short-area Rashee Rice routes and Rice runs a more complete route tree. Kelce may struggle efficiency-wise and for YAC, but the format rewards receptions and he has one of the safest floors for tight ends. The source plans to start Kelce over Jordan Addison in week one and possibly throughout the season despite Addison's greater upside.
