NegativeProjectionOct 31, 2026
Ranked lower now that Rashee Rice is officially playing. While the Kansas City Chiefs offense projects to be one of the best spots in the NFL, Kelce faces a tough matchup at Denver in Week 8.NegativeMatchupOct 29, 2026
Kelce's target volume should be safe at best this week with Rashid Rice returning from a hamstring injury and potentially slow to ramp up in his first week back. However, Kansas City faces a very tough matchup at Denver, similar to last week against Seattle, requiring lowered expectations for the entire offense.NegativeProjectionOct 26, 2026
Kelce is playable with 8 targets but looked old in the game; his situation will worsen when Rashee Rice returns in one to two weeks, further diminishing his fantasy value.PositiveInjuryOct 24, 2026
Off the injury report; clear start recommendation for Chiefs tight end despite Kansas City's tough matchup against Seattle.PositiveValueOct 24, 2026
Kenneth Walker views Jonathan Taylor in a different tier than Ashton Jeanty and would accept a trade of Drake Maye, Ashton Jeanty, and Juwan Johnson for Jonathan Taylor and Travis Kelce, indicating Kelce has value in this deal.NegativeMatchupOct 22, 2026
Travis Kelce faces a horrible matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, making him a less attractive start than Rhamondre Stevenson despite normally being an easy start. Kelce is also ranked below Tyler Higbee in tight end rankings if Puka Nacua misses time.PositiveMatchupOct 22, 2026
Should have considerable target volume with no Rashee Rice, but Josh Allen is lower on him because Seattle is a tough matchup for the Kansas City Chiefs. The overall game environment and defensive strength of Seattle limits Kelce's ceiling despite increased opportunity.PositiveInjuryOct 19, 2026
Got banged up during the game but expected to be fine; remains a set-it-and-forget-it tight end despite the minor injury scare. Dameon Pierce expects Kelce to be available and reliable going forward.PositiveMatchupOct 18, 2026
Cam Scataboo strongly prefers Travis Kelce over Tyler Higbee for flex, noting Kelce is in a phenomenal setup with Rasheed Rice injured for Kansas City; Scataboo expects Kelce and Kenneth Walker to 'go freaking nuclear' this week. Kelce is projected for 11.8 points by betting markets at tight end, very similar to Concade's 11.7 projection.PositiveUsageOct 16, 2026
Travis Kelce gets a significant bump up this week due to Rashid Rice's absence in Kansas City. Despite a low over-under on the Chargers game, the majority of Patrick Mahomes' targets should go to Kelce.NegativeValueOct 16, 2026
In a trade evaluation, Travis Kelce is deemed less valuable than David Montgomery Gibbs. The source states 'I would still rather have Gibbs over Kyren Williams and Travis Kelce,' indicating Gibbs is in a 'completely different tier' than Kelce.PositiveValueOct 14, 2026
Travis Kelce is the clear target in a trade receiving him and Jalen Smitty Nelson for D'Andre Swift, Michael Wilson, and Tyler Borin; Flock Fantasy states the trade is not close in favor of the Kelce side. Kelce is identified as an elite tight end on a well-balanced 4-1 team with strong depth across all positions.NegativeValueOct 13, 2026
Travis Kelce is considered a more desirable fantasy asset than Dalton Kincaid, with Josh Allen noting he would trade Kincaid for Kelce in a heartbeat.PositiveProjectionOct 11, 2026
Braille Allen believes this is likely Travis Kelce's final season and he could retire after this year; in Dynasty leagues, if Kelce is startable in your lineup, hold him; if not startable soon, trading him for Kyle Pitts is acceptable. Kelce is an elite tight end with a strong foundation at the position.PositiveValueOct 10, 2026
Kelce is identified as one of the two best players in a proposed trade package (alongside CeeDee Lamb); Jamar Chase advises against trading him away unless receiving significantly more value in return, indicating strong confidence in his standing. However, Kelce is on bye this week and therefore unavailable for start/sit consideration; Hawkinson is the recommended tight end play instead.PositiveRoleOct 8, 2026
Travis Kelce is an elite tight end recommended as a flex play if Jamar Chase plays. The speaker likes having an elite tight end in this format and notes Kelce is at the tight end one position on an 0-4 team, indicating elite tight end production.PositiveRoleOct 5, 2026
Travis Kelce is one of the remaining weapons for the Chiefs after Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton injuries; Chiefs may pursue additional receiver help via free agency or trade.NegativeRoleOct 3, 2026
Travis Kelce (Goddard) is listed as the team's current tight end alongside Colston Loveland in a trade evaluation.NegativeProjectionSep 30, 2026
The source prefers Travis Kelce over Jawan Johnson for rest-of-season value, noting that Kelce 'honestly looks damn good' and expressing concern about Johnson's target share declining when Jordan Tyson arrives within a few weeks.PositiveProjectionSep 24, 2026
Travis Kelce is performing at an elite level, averaging 17.5 fantasy points per game, which keeps him well ahead of most tight ends despite age-related regression concerns.NegativeInjurySep 24, 2026
Travis Kelce was limited in practice with a hamstring injury, creating concern for Shawn McVey heading into the week.NegativeValueSep 23, 2026
In a trade evaluation involving Kelce and Rasheed Rice for DJ Moore and Dallas Goddard, Kelce will rank higher than Colston Loveland in weekly rankings. However, if the team has Loveland as a startable tight end option, DJ Moore may be preferable to acquire in the trade, making the deal less attractive.PositiveProjectionSep 21, 2026
Despite being 36 years old, Travis Kelce is a top-10 tight end with the potential to climb back into the top five after a 100-yard, one-touchdown performance. Taylor expresses slight hesitation due to age but remains positive on his outlook.PositiveProjectionSep 20, 2026
Flock Fantasy lists Travis Kelce as the tight end starter, indicating confidence in his production this week.NegativeUsageSep 17, 2026
Travis Kelce is ranked at TE12, but there is concern regarding his usage; his Week 1 production was saved by a single long reception, and there is a risk that the offense will funnel through Kenneth Walker, potentially reducing short-area targets for Kelce and Rashee Rice.NegativeValueSep 16, 2026
Houston So recommends cutting Travis Kelce immediately to pick up Dalton Schultz, indicating Kelce is no longer a priority hold relative to emerging tight end options with better route usage and role security.PositiveProjectionSep 15, 2026
Travis Kelce scored 10 fantasy points in week 1 with a wide-open target that he converted. The source expects this to be representative of his week-to-week output going forward and does not expect major changes to his profile. Kelce has a slightly capped ceiling given his age and athletic profile, but will get targets in a good offense with an improving Patrick Mahomes. The source places Kelce in the same tier as Dallas Goedert, Kyle Pitts, Harold Finney, and Isaiah Likely, and is comfortable with starting him every week despite the capped ceiling.NegativeValueSep 12, 2026
Ashton Genty suggests using Travis Kelce as a trade asset, potentially packaging him to upgrade to Colston Loveland if the team needs to pivot.PositiveMatchupSep 9, 2026
Jaylen Herz ranks Travis Kelce at ten, stating "I don't like the game environment." The Kansas City Chiefs face a low-scoring game with a 43.5-point over/under against two good defenses. Herz notes that if Rashee Rice is not 100%, Kelce could get an expanded target share, but the overall game environment is unfavorable.NegativeValueSep 9, 2026
Too much draft capital invested at his draft position; the source believes 'a little bit too much value tied into with Travis Kelce' and would have preferred a running back or wide receiver in those rounds instead. Does not expect Kelce to be tradeable, though a two-for-one deal could create roster flexibility.NegativeRoleSep 4, 2026
Mentioned as part of a strategy where elite quarterback and elite tight end are prioritized in draft, leaving running back room weak; in a league format with limited receiver starts, tight end production becomes a higher percentage of starting lineup output. KD (likely referring to a player in the trade) traded away along with Puka, Brooks, and Henry for Bejon and Bowers in Superflex premium league; source indicates the receiving side won the deal.NegativeValueSep 4, 2026
In a 10-team league format, Travis Kelce is worthless and holds no meaningful fantasy value, making him a non-factor in trade evaluations. The speaker views Kelce and Trey McBride as similar in range, questioning the fantasy value gained from trading away one for the other in the context of a team with strong depth.PositiveValueSep 3, 2026
Kelce demonstrated significant ADP variance across drafts: he went in round 14 in the Flockly draft but round 9 in this $500 buy-in draft, illustrating how much better value he represented in the earlier league.NegativeRoleSep 3, 2026
The source identifies Travis Kelce as the weakest position on an otherwise strong roster, stating 'The weakest position that you have here is Travis Kelce and it's not that close,' indicating significant downside relative to the rest of the team. However, the source does not recommend panic or immediate upgrades due to weak bench depth.NegativeValueAug 30, 2026
Travis Kelce was selected at the 10.07 draft position.NegativeValueAug 25, 2026
JJ Zachariason ranks Travis Kelce unfavorably against Blake Corum at the 9-10 turn in 10-round formats, explicitly stating he would not rather have Kelce over Corum at this draft cost. The preference reflects the tight end's declining positional advantage relative to running back value available at this stage.NegativeValueAug 21, 2026
Travis Kelce was selected at the 10.04 draft position, noted as one of the tight ends taken off the board following the Harold Fannin pick.PositiveValueAug 20, 2026
Travis Kelce is identified as a strong value target at the 3/4 turn for teams that prioritize wide receivers in the early rounds.NegativeValueAug 18, 2026
Travis Kelce was selected at the 9.11 draft position.NegativeBustAug 13, 2026
Travis Kelce shows signs of athletic decline at age 37, leading to a capped ceiling. He is viewed as a better best-ball pick for his floor as a high-end TE2 or low-end TE1 rather than a league-winning ceiling play.NegativeProjectionAug 13, 2026
Travis Kelce was selected at the 10.03 position in the mock draft.PositiveValueAug 6, 2026
The source targets Travis Kelce to round out the roster and ultimately selects him at pick 10.02 in the mock draft.PositiveValueAug 5, 2026
The source identifies Travis Kelce as a late-round value, noting he is currently being drafted after pick 100.PositiveRoleJul 26, 2026
Second tight end in the draft roster alongside Isaiah Likely. The source plans to take a third tight end later and considers the tight end room solid with these two selections.NegativeDepth ChartJul 21, 2026
Travis Kelce was drafted by the team that had Patrick Mahomes, pairing the tight end with his quarterback.PositiveProjectionJun 10, 2026
Projects to outscore Khalil Shakir in the same range, but at the tight end position where he provides better value.PositiveProjectionMay 6, 2026
Kelce is extremely difficult to rank and may be too low in current rankings. With Patrick Mahomes healthy, Kelce was tight end seven in PPG last season at 1.85 yards per route run—higher than his 2024 rate. While age discount is warranted (he'll be 37), historical data shows only Antonio Gates and Mercedes Lewis produced anything at age 36 in the past 20 years, and neither finished with 5+ PPG at age 37. However, the case can be made that age doesn't matter given his GOAT-tier status, and he should be prioritized over Ferguson, Gaston, and Kittle if Mahomes stays healthy.PositiveRoleDec 19, 2025
Travis Kelce could be exciting if Rashee Rice were available, but the offense looks significantly worse now without Rice, limiting his upside. Kenneth Gainwell is currently leading the Chiefs in receiving, further constraining Kelce's target share.NegativeProjectionNo date
Travis Kelce has averaged more fantasy points per game than every player in the F, E, and D tiers (except possibly DeAndre Swift) over a three-game sample showing strong performance; however, at 37 years old, regression is expected. The speaker questions how confidently one can say he will be this much better than he was at 36 and 35, despite recent incredible production.NegativeUsageNo date
Travis Kelce is a must-start tight end averaging over 16 fantasy points per game, though Tyler Shuck notes a recent dip to two targets and suggests potential regression for the veteran player.PositiveRoleNo date
Kelce was drafted at pick 122 as part of a stack with Patrick Mahomes. Mrs. Flock So prioritized pairing Kelce with Mahomes to leverage the quarterback-tight end connection despite already having five wide receivers on the roster, providing QB-TE correlation to maximize upside from the Chiefs offense.NegativeValueNo date
The source is not a big fan of Kelce and has him ranked 16 slots below his ADP, indicating he views Kelce as overvalued. The source passes on Kelce to take another player instead, even though it means missing the stack with Jaden Daniels.PositiveRoleNo date
Travis Kelce was selected as the final stacking option with Patrick Mahomes, serving as the tight end complement to the Mahomes stack in Jamir Gibbs's roster construction strategy.PositiveProjectionNo date
Went off the board at pick 122 in the draft.NegativeValueNo date
Taking Kelce in the 10th round makes no sense because there's no difference between tight ends available in the 12th and 13th rounds, making the early investment a mistake.NegativeValueNo date
Taking Kelce in the 10th round was a mistake in this draft; the analyst should have waited on tight end and taken a running back with starter potential instead.PositiveValueNo date
Travis Kelce is ranked ahead of Travis Hunter in the analyst's rankings and is being taken at pick 108.PositiveValueNo date
Gentry was taken at pick 12 in the draft.PositiveValueNo date
