Kelce needs 45 yards to pass Witten for second-most TE receiving yards; likely hits it Week 1.

Entering 2026, Kelce has 13,002 receiving yards and needs just 45 yards to surpass Jason Witten for the second-most receiving yards by a tight end in NFL history. ESPN projects Kelce will reach this milestone in the Chiefs' season opener against the Broncos, a rival he has dominated throughout his career. Mahomes, expected to be ready for Week 1 after knee surgery, has consistently made Kelce his go-to pass catcher on third down, creating a realistic scenario for Kelce to pass Witten on a third-down play before halftime.
