Travis Kelce was one of, if not the hottest pre-season fantasy tight end heading into the 2015 season. Many believed that he was a “Gronk 2.0,” just waiting to explode into monster fantasy production. While he was good, Kelce fell far short of those expectations, leading many to consider him one of the biggest draft busts among the players who actually stayed healthy. Kelce’s 72 catches for 875 yards and five touchdowns would’ve been good enough to make him an elite fantasy tight end most seasons, but in an age where many tight ends are putting up high-end wide receiver-like numbers, what Kelce did in 2015 just wasn’t enough.
He’s still going off the board as a top five option at the position in most drafts, but there will undoubtedly be some leagues where Kelce falls further than he should due to his lackluster 2015 season. At just 26 years old, he’s still very young with plenty of upside. The Chiefs saw that this off-season when they gave him a nice contract extension, securing him for the next five years. That, along with the team not investing any sort of resources in new pass catchers, should be an indication to fantasy owners that Kansas City views Kelce as a huge player in their passing game going forward. He’s improved in each of his first three seasons as a pro and there’s little reason to believe that another improvement on his already good numbers isn’t in store.
