News: 5 days agoKelce brought in three of five targets for 71 yards in the Chiefs' 31-10 win over the Broncos on Monday night.

Spin: Kelce comfortably paced the Chiefs in receiving yards while tying for the team lead in receptions and finishing as the runner-up in targets. The legendary tight end's night would have been unremarkable without his game-long 59-yard catch, which came on a third-down play just before the six-minute mark of the third quarter and brought the ball down to the Broncos' four-yard line. Kelce's chemistry with Patrick Mahomes is unquestioned, and with the prolific quarterback looking to be at close to full health already Monday night, fantasy-friendly performances should continue to be the norm between the two as the season unfolds.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Kelce re-signed with the Chiefs and is returning for what might be his final NFL season. The veteran tight end's days as an elite producer are behind him, and he saw a notable dip in usage last season (19.6% target share was his lowest since 2014). Kelce did hold up for 17 games and still finished in the top 10 at the position in snaps, routes, targets, catches, yards and fantasy PPG. Kelce has reeled off 10 consecutive top-five fantasy campaigns despite not offering much in the scoring department (he hasn't cleared five TDs in a season since 2022). The 36-year-old's role could dip even further this season, so he's best valued as a fringe TE1.
