A future first-ballot Hall of Famer, Kelce has finally begun to look his age. After posting his ninth straight 1,000-plus-yard campaign in 2022, the veteran has seen his numbers drop over the past two seasons, going from a 110-1338-12 effort in '22 to 93-984-5 in '23 and 97-823-3 last year. He was a nonfactor in the AFC Championship Game (2-19-0) and Super Bowl (4-39-0) as well; his performance in the latter leading to a lot of vows that he'll be better in 2025.
Reports indicate that Kelce has shed some weight, so perhaps that will help the 35-year-old regain some of his lost explosiveness after he averaged a career-low 8.5 yards per reception. He's not a field stretcher, though, which could mean the veteran sees fewer opportunities in an offense that appears focused on more big plays and less underneath passes. That's not to suggest he won't be part of the gameplan. Kelce has been Mahomes' top target for years, and there's a comfort level there born of seven seasons worth of playing in the NFL's biggest showcases.
Kelce has sat at or near the top of fantasy tight end rankings for the better part of a decade, but he no longer belongs in that top tier with the likes of Brock Bowers and Trey McBride. Instead, Kelce resides in the TE1 midrange along with names like T.J. Hockenson and Mark Andrews.
