KC TE Travis Kelce - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Travis Kelce once again led the Chiefs in the three main receiving categories (targets, receptions, yards). Kelce finished 9-124 last week on nine targets as he had his first 100-yard game of the season. The Chiefs' wide receiver woes has benefitted Kelce as the tight end has seen at least eight targets in every game this season. His average stat line on the season is 7.2-69.2-0.6, which is obviously impressive. Kelce gets an OK matchup vs. the Chargers (16th aFPA) this week, but Kelce is matchup proof. He's a must-start option at TE in Week 7.

KC TE Travis Kelce - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Denver Broncos

In every game Travis Kelce has played this season, he's led the team in targets, and that trend continued last week as he finished 10-67-1 on 11 targets. Kelce's 11 targets and 10 receptions are both season highs. Kelce has also caught a touchdown in three of his four games this season. Kelce should keep up his high level of production as he draws a favorable matchup against the Broncos this week. Denver is 31st in aFPA to tight ends this season. Plus, with Taylor Swift's movie coming out on Friday, Kelce might want to put up a big game on Thursday night. Kelce should be viewed as a must-start TE1 this week.

KC TE Travis Kelce - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Minnesota Vikings

Travis Kelce once again led all Chiefs players in targets in Week 4, getting nine looks. He finished 6-60-0 as he failed to score in a game for the first time this season. Kelce leads all Chiefs players in targets, receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns this season, and that's all despite missing a game in Week 1. Kelce will continue to be the focus of this offense moving forward, which means he'll continue to be a strong play at tight end in fantasy. This week he gets a decent matchup vs. the Vikings (22nd aFPA), but the matchup doesn't really matter for Kelce. He's a must-start TE1 every week he's active.

KC TE Travis Kelce - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at New York Jets

Travis Kelce made sure to impress Taylor Swift in Week 3. With Swift watching from the stands, Kelce finished with a nice stat line of 7-69-1 on eight targets. In the two games Kelce has played this season, he's led the team in targets. We expect that trend to continue given how the Chiefs have utilized their WR corps so far this season. This week Kelce takes on the Jets, a team that has given up the 3rd-most average fantasy points to tight ends so far this season. Kelce should be viewed as a must-start option at TE in Week 4.

KC TE Travis Kelce - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs Chicago Bears

Travis Kelce had a welcome return after missing Week 2. Kelce saw a team-high nine targets, finishing with four receptions for 26 yards and a touchdown. It wasn't the most dominant Kelce game we've seen, but a score with nearly double-digit targets is promising considering he's coming off of a knee injury. Kelce faces the Bears in Week 3, but honestly the matchups don't matter much when it comes to him. Kelce should be viewed as a must-start TE1 every week.

KC TE Travis Kelce - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Travis Kelce is expected to return in Week 2 after missing Week 1 with a knee injury. Kelce's absence ended a 143-game playing streak. Patrick Mahomes continued to target tight ends in Kelce's absence as Noah Gray and Blake Bell combined for a 5-43-1 stat line in Week 1. And given the Chiefs' troubles at wide receiver in the opening game, Kelce's return will be a welcome one. Assuming he's healthy enough to play, Kelce should be viewed as a must-start option at TE in a decent matchup vs. the Jaguars.

KC TE Travis Kelce - 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Travis Kelce finished as the TE1 in 2022 by a wide margin, he finished as TE2 in 2021, TE1 in 2020, TE1 in 2019, TE1 in 2018, TE2 in 2017, and you get the idea. Last season he set career highs in targets (152), receptions (110) and touchdowns (12). Not only were the totals amazing, but Kelce was incredibly consistent with at least 50 receiving yards in 14 of his 17 games. And in one of the three games he didn’t top 50 yards, he scored four touchdowns. With a similar inexperienced WR corps in Kansas City for 2023, Kelce should see a ton of action his way again.

Fantasy Downside
Kelce is getting up there in age as he’ll be 34 years old less than a month into the NFL season. He’s also coming off an incredible season where he set career highs in everything but yards, so managers should expect some drop off in production. Our projections have him finishing closer to what he did in 2021 rather than 2022.

2023 Bottom Line
Kelce is a strong bet to finish as the TE1 in fantasy for yet another season. In fact, there’s a strong debate to be had in making Kelce the No. 1 overall pick in redraft leagues. He’s so incredibly consistent, and is a person who can almost single-handedly win fantasy leagues. According to ESPN, Kelce was rostered on 21.4% of championship teams last season, which was fourth-highest of any player.
