  • Scores winning TD in OT

    Kelce caught eight of nine targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-36 overtime win over Buffalo.

    Analysis: Kelce saved his biggest contributions for last in this one. The tight end's 25-yard catch-and-run in the final seconds of the fourth quarter set up Harrison Butker's game-tying 49-yard field goal as time expired. The Chiefs got the ball first in overtime, and Kelce ended it eight plays later with an eight-yard touchdown catch. He's a key cog in a brilliant Kansas City offense that should maintain its productive ways in the AFC Championship Game against the Bengals.

  • Monster two-score game

    Kelce corralled five of seven targets for 108 yards and a touchdown Sunday, adding a two-yard passing touchdown on his lone pass attempt in a 42-21 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Patrick Mahomes and Kelce were in sync as usual, and the latter even vultured a passing touchdown. The star tight end will face a stiff test in the AFC divisional round, as the Bills have surrendered the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends all season. However, Kelce did relatively well in a Week 5 matchup between the clubs, going for six catches on 10 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown. He should, rightfully, register as the priciest tight end to roster in DFS formats next…read more

  • Scores ninth touchdown

    Kelce recorded four receptions on five targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 28-24 win over Denver.

    Analysis: Kelce was involved early in the game, as he capped Kansas City's opening drive with a three-yard touchdown reception. Otherwise, he was limited in impact, though he did log a pair of 12-yard catches. Though Kelce has been limited to under 50 receiving yards in four of his last five games, he's also also found the end zone on four occasions in his last three contests. All told, Kelce closes the regular season having topped 1,000 yards for the seventh consecutive season, though it was his worst…read more

  • Cools off after early TD

    Kelce caught five of seven targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Bengals. He had minus-1 yard on one rushing attempt.

    Analysis: Kelce scored from three yards out in the first quarter and came inches from scoring his second touchdown of the game in the second. He was ruled just short and Darrel Williams scored on the ground on the next play. After looking unstoppable in the first half en route to a 28-17 lead, the entire Chiefs offense struggled in the second half as Cincinnati came back to end Kansas City's winning streak at eight games. With the top seed in the AFC still up for grabs, Kelce and the rest of the Chiefs…read more

  • Returns with full practice

    Kelce (illness) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report after being removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

    Analysis: A full practice at the beginning of the week suggests Kelce may be on track to handle his normal workload Sunday in Cincinnati after missing the Chiefs' Week 16 win over Pittsburgh. Teammate Tyreek Hill played only 42 percent of the snaps on offense against Pittsburgh after recovering from his own bout with COVID-19, but Kelce will have had more time to rest and regain his strength before the upcoming matchup with the Bengals.

  • Returning to practice

    Kelce (illness) is on track to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list to take part in practice Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Kelce's impending return to practice puts him on track to play in Sunday's game against the Bengals, following his absence during the Chiefs' win over the Steelers last weekend. Most of his vacated snaps went to backup tight end Noah Gray, but wide receivers Byron Pringle and Mecole Hardman did most of the damage in the passing game with Kelce out and Tyreek Hill playing limited snaps. Kelce should have time to ramp up before Sunday, assuming all goes well in practice Wednesday.

  • Officially ruled out for Week 16

    The Chiefs downgraded Kelce (not injury related) from questionable to out in advance of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Though the Chiefs reinstated Kelce from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, the transaction was made with the hope that he would fully clear the NFL's return-to-play COVID-19 protocols ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, as of Sunday morning, Kelce was either still symptomatic of the virus or was unable to submit a second consecutive negative test result, so the star tight end will be sidelined for the first time this season. Blake Bell, Noah Gray and Nakia…read more

  • Not available Week 16

    Kelce (illness), who remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, won't be available for the contest after he was unable to clear the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocols, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Though Kansas City reinstated Kelce from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, the team only made the transaction so he would be on the 53-man roster and therefore eligible to play if he cleared the protocol Sunday morning. Kelce either hasn't tested negative twice at least 24 hours apart or is still experiencing symptoms of the virus, so he'll be forced to miss his first game of the season. The Chiefs will officially confirm Kelce as out with the release of their inactive list 90 minutes prior…read more

  • Off COVID list, now listed as questionable

    The Chiefs have activated Kelce (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 reserve list and added him to the team's injury report as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Kelce has yet to clear COVID protocols, but the Chiefs are holding out hope that he may gain clearance ahead of Sunday's 4:25 ET game against the Steelers. If that doesn't happen, Kelce can then be made inactive by the team. Next up for the team's TE looks if Kelce isn't available Sunday are Blake Bell and Noah Gray.

  • Not yet cleared, but chance to play

    Though Kelce (illness) has yet to clear COVID protocols, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, it looks likely that the Chiefs will activate him from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Such a move would make Kelce eligible to suit up in Week 16 if he clears the necessary protocols, with Adam Schefter of ESPN noting that the star tight end "still has a shot" to do so prior to Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff.

  • Headed to COVID list

    The Chiefs placed Kelce on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Kelce is vaccinated, which means his placement on the list is the result of a positive test. Due the NFL's new COVID-19 return-to-play protocols, Kelce could be cleared in advance of Sunday's game against the Steelers if he's asymptomatic of the virus. For the time being, however, Kansas City's available tight ends are Blake Bell and Noah Gray.

  • Career-best yardage total in win

    Kelce brought in 10 of 13 targets for 191 yards and two touchdowns in the Chiefs' 34-28 overtime win over the Chargers on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Kelce paced the Chiefs in receiving yardage with what was a career-high tally, and the second of his two touchdowns, a 34-yarder in overtime, sealed the comeback win for Kansas City. The perennial Pro Bowler had also hauled in a game-tying seven-yard scoring strike from Patrick Mahomes with 1:16 remaining in regulation to give him his first multi-touchdown day since Week 1 against the Browns. Kelce's first opportunity to follow up what was a season high in receptions comes in a Week 16 home…read more

  • Another quiet week

    Kelce compiled just three catches for 27 yards on four targets during Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Kelce hasn't enjoyed the kind of success recently that he's accustomed to, reeling in a combined six passes for 54 yards over the past pair of games. The competition level figures to turn up a notch this week against a tough Chargers team, which could afford the veteran tight end more opportunities to get his hands on the ball. Kelce still ranks second among tight ends in receiving yards (875) and receptions (73) but is lagging slightly behind as a red-zone threat this year, posting just five…read more

  • Quiet in Sunday's win

    Kelce had three receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: The Broncos seemed committed to limiting the Chiefs' top two offensive options, and the strategy was effective in keeping the score close for the majority of the contest. This also resulted in a poor fantasy showing from Kelce, who produced his worst fantasy line this year in formats that award any points for receptions. The 31-year-old has responded with 50-plus yards and a touchdown in each of the two games following duds like Sunday's, so look for Kelce to bounce back in a favorable matchup…read more

  • Finds end zone in win

    Kelce caught five of eight targets for 74 yards and took his only carry for a four-yard touchdown in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The tight end had a respectable showing through the air and boosted his production with his second career rushing TD in the first quarter -- coincidentally, the first one also came on a four-yard run back in 2019. Kelce has already topped 800 receiving yards on the season, and he'll get a well-deserved rest over a Week 12 bye as he steams toward his sixth straight 1,000-yard campaign.

  • Breaks century mark in win

    Kelce had eight receptions (10 targets) for 119 yards in Sunday's 41-14 win over Las Vegas.

    Analysis: Kelce was a key cog in Kansas City's offensive onslaught, as he helped block Raiders top pass rusher Maxx Crosby while also gaining consistent chunks of yardage. Most of the star tight end's damage came on shorter chip-and-release routes before letting his YAC skills take over. Kelce has been the Chiefs' most consistent offensive player so far this year with 62 receptions for 747 yards and five touchdowns through 10 contests. The 31-year-old will look to keep things rolling in a Week 11 matchup…read more

  • Finds end zone

    Kelce caught five passes for 68 yards and one touchdown on eight targets against Green Bay on Sunday.

    Analysis: Kelce wasn't exactly dominant, and the touchdown occurred near the goal line off play action, but it was still an encouraging box score for Kelce, especially given the broader struggles of the Kansas City passing game. Patrick Mahomes threw for only 166 yards and one touchdown, so with that in mind Kelce's numbers begin to look better. In addition, Mahomes seemed to miss Kelce on a couple plays that might have been easy completions if Mahomes hadn't thrown it elsewhere. The Chiefs passing game…read more

  • Fumbles in underwhelming effort

    Kelce caught four of seven targets for 27 yards and lost a fumble in Monday night's 20-17 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Kelce's performance was his worst of the season, as he was sparingly involved prior to coughing the ball up during the third quarter. The tight end rebounded with a strong gain afterward, but overall it was an outing to forget for Kelce. He'll strive to return to his usual heights in Week 9 versus the Packers.

  • Racks up 12 targets

    Kelce recorded seven receptions on 12 targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Kelce drew double-digit targets for the fourth time in his last five games and also led the team. However, the offense was out of sync for large portions of the game, so he finished under 100 receiving yards for the fourth consecutive contest. Kelce's longest gain of the day went for 17 yards, with his only other double-digit pickup going for 11 yards. While he hasn't put together massive performances regularly this season, Kelce has still managed at least six receptions in all but one contest…read more

  • Cleared to play

    Kelce (neck) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans after returning to a full practice Friday.

    Analysis: After logging back-to-back limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, Kelce practiced in full Friday, paving the way for him to be cleared to face Tennessee. Six weeks into the 2021 season, Kelce continues to produce at a high level, having racked up 38 catches (on 53 targets) for 468 yards and four TDs in that span. Over his last two outings, the tight end has combined for 14 catches on 21 targets and has logged double-digit targets in three of his last four contests.

  • Another limited session

    Kelce (neck) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Kelce was also limited Wednesday, but at this stage we'd be surprised if his status for Sunday's game against the Titans is in any danger. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether the star tight end will head into the weekend carrying a Week 7 injury designation.

  • Limited at practice Wednesday

    Kelce (neck) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Per James Palmer of NFL Network, Kelce was looked at by trainers during this past Sunday's win over Washington, but he then returned to action. Evidently, the tight end, who logged 67 of 82 snaps in the Week 6 victory, is dealing with a neck issue, but so far there's nothing to suggest that Kelce's status for this weekend's game against the Titans is in any danger.

  • Overcomes injury scare

    Kelce recorded eight receptions on 11 targets for 99 yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Kelce suffered an apparent injury to his left arm in the second half and was examined on the sideline, as reported by James Palmer of NFL Network. However, he returned to the game and appeared to put the issue behind him to to record a season-high eight receptions. He also topped 75 receiving yards for the first time since Week 3, in large part due to receptions of 20, 19 and 17 yards. For the season, Kelce has only one game with fewer than five catches and 50 yards.

  • Not on injury report

    Kelce (neck) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Following Sunday's 38-20 loss to Buffalo, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid relayed that Kelce suffered "a little bit of a stinger" during the contest, but the star tight end's name wasn't on on the team's initial Week 6 practice report. That's a welcome development for the team, with running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) having landed on injured reserve following the loss to Buffalo and with Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) having failed to practice Wednesday.

  • Suffers stinger in loss

    Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Kelce suffered "a little bit of a stinger" during Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Bills, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: The injury happened late enough that the tight end still caught six of 10 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown while playing 87 percent of snaps. Kelce hasn't missed a game due to injury since his 2013 rookie campaign, but it does sound like he'll be listed on the injury report for Week 6 at Washington along with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) and Tyreek Hill (knee). Only Edwards-Helaire made a clear exit from the game.

  • Hits pay dirt on SNF

    Kelce had six receptions (10 targets) for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Kelce got back in the mix after allowing Tyreek Hill to shine last week against the Eagles. The star tight end posted his first touchdown in three weeks and fourth overall this season. There is a chance that Kelce is even more heavily involved in next week's game plan, as the Washington Football Team may not give Patrick Mahomes a lot of time in the pocket, so shorter routes by Kelce may be needed to combat the fierce pass rush.

  • Quiet as Hill shines

    Kelce caught four of six targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 42-30 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Kelce was uncharacteristically quiet in this one, as the Chiefs featured fellow elite playmaker Tyreek Hill (11 catches for 186 yards and three touchdowns). The tight end's six targets still ranked second on the team behind Hill's 12 while nobody else had more than three. Kelce remains the cream of the crop at the tight end position and should bounce back in prime time against the Bills in Week 5.

  • Eclipses century mark again

    Kelce secured seven of 11 targets for 104 yards in the Chiefs' 30-24 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Kelce was one of the few bright spots for the Chiefs offense on a turnover-marred afternoon, as he eclipsed the century mark for the second straight game. He also paced Kansas City in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and he should continue to play an outsized role in the team's air attack during a Week 4 interconference road showdown with the Eagles.

  • Goes over 100 yards while scoring

    Kelce had seven receptions (eight targets) for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-35 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: The Ravens were keying in on Tyreek Hill (three receptions for 14 yards), so Kelce was asked to do most of the heavy lifting on underneath routes. Even his 46-yard touchdown came on a short pass that the tight end took to the house with some nifty moves for a big man. Kelce has proven that his superhero abilities are not tied to the beard he shaved this offseason, as he now has 13 receptions, 175 yards and three touchdowns through two contests.

    Kelce caught six of seven targets for 76 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-29 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Kansas City was down 22-10 heading into halftime, but Patrick Mahomes quickly got to work in the third quarter, hitting Kelce for an 11-yard score to begin the comeback and then finding the tight end again on an eight-yard strike midway through the fourth that gave his team its first lead of the game. Kelce and Tyreek Hill were the only two players to see more than three targets from Mahomes on the afternoon, a narrow tree that should lead to big numbers again for Kelce on the road in Week 2…read more

  • One grab in win

    Kelce secured his only target for eight yards in the Chiefs' 17-10 preseason win over the Cardinals on Friday night.

    Analysis: Kelce had dealt with some minor back tightness earlier in camp, but he dispelled any doubts about his health by suiting up and playing in Friday's contest. The multi-time Pro Bowler will look to achieve the lofty feat of topping last year's career-best numbers of 105 receptions, 1,416 yards and 11 touchdowns while once again serving as one of Patrick Mahomes' top two targets.

    Kelce (back) is practicing Saturday, Aaron Ladd of KSHB 41 News reports.

    Analysis: Kelce exited Thursday's practice with back tightness, but his return to the practice field two days later suggests the issue was minor. The star tight end is primed for another strong campaign after reaching the 1,000-yard mark in each of the past five seasons.

    Kelce caught 10 of 15 targets for 133 yards during Kansas City's 31-9 loss to the Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV.

    Analysis: Kelce led the Chiefs in both targets and yards Sunday, and he capped the postseason with three straight games over 100 receiving yards. Still, as the Chiefs' offensive line (sans both starting tackles) proved unable to match Tampa Bay's pass rush and protect an already-hobbled Patrick Mahomes, Kelce's ability to move the chains wasn't enough to keep the offense competitive. The normally sure handed tight end also dropped a potentially game-changing third-down pass in the first half. Still,…read more

    Analysis: Kelce evidently has Buffalo's number, as he does most every team in the NFL, with his only other multi-TD performance of the season coming Week 6 against the Bills. It was a seemingly favorable matchup, with Buffalo surrendering an NFL-worst 92 receptions to opposing tight ends during the regular season. Kelce predictably cashed in. The three-time All-Pro enjoyed a ludicrous start to the playoff rematch, setting a Chiefs franchise postseason record with nine first-half receptions Sunday.…read more

  • Tops 100 yards with a TD

    Kelce caught eight of 11 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Browns in the AFC divisional round.

    Analysis: Kelce scored from 20 yards out early in the second quarter as the Chiefs controlled the game early, but the momentum shifted after quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a concussion in the third quarter. The tight end continued to be effective with Chad Henne under center, making catches of five and 24 yards. Even if Mahomes is unable to play against the Bills in next week's AFC Championship Game, Kelce should still thrive against a Buffalo defense that has struggled to defend tight ends all…read more

  • Ready to play Browns

    Kelce doesn't appear on the injury report the Chiefs released Wednesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Kelce was held out of the Chiefs' regular-season finale against the Chargers for rest purposes and benefited from Kansas City having a first-round bye in the postseason, so he should have the benefit of fresh legs heading into the team's playoff opener Sunday versus the Browns. Top wideout Tyreek Hill, who dealt with a hamstring injury back in December, is also off the Chiefs' injury report. Patrick Mahomes will thus have his full assortment of pass catching weapons available for the divisional…read more

  • May be rested Sunday

    Though Kelce is not among Kansas City's Week 17 inactives, per Herbie Teope of the Kansas City Star, ESPN's Adam Teicher relays that he hasn't seen the tight end in uniform during warmups.

    Analysis: In addition to five players previously ruled out due to injuries, Kansas City elected to deem QB Patrick Mahomes and safety Tyrann Mathieu inactive Sunday. However, with the team having clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye, Teope notes that it would be surprising if a number of key players such as Kelce, who were not listed as inactive Sunday, saw extended action in the contest. Teicher's report suggests that Kelce may be rested as a precaution, along with Mahomes. In such a…read more

  • May rest in Week 17

    Kelce is a candidate to be rested in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chargers after dealing with some nagging injuries in recent weeks, Dave Skretta of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Kelce isn't listed on the Chiefs' Week 17 injury report and would likely play without any restrictions in a normal scenario, but Kansas City has already locked up the AFC's No. 1 seed, and head coach Andy Reid has stated that he plans to give rest to key players, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Though Reid hasn't detailed his plans for Kelce specifically, the star tight end and wideout Tyreek Hill (hamstring) are both likely to have minimal roles if active Week 17, as the Chiefs look to…read more

  • Sets receiving record for position

    Kelce secured seven of 13 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 17-14 win against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Kelce made NFL history Sunday, surpassing George Kittle's 2018 record for tight end receiving yards in a single season (1,377). With his Week 16 output, the six-time Pro Bowler pushes his season-long total to 1,416 yards, also leaping back ahead of Green Bay's Robert Tonyan for the TE league lead with his 11th TD catch of the year Sunday. Kelce has amassed double-digit targets in seven of his past eight games, but there's a possibility he's held out for a Week 17 matchup against the Chargers,…read more

  • Finds end zone in win

    Kelce caught eight of 12 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: He took a shovel pass from Patrick Mahomes for a one-yard score early in the second quarter, giving Kelce a TD in three straight games and tying his career high with 10 on the year. He's also closing in on history, as Kelce needs only 60 more receiving yards next week against the Falcons to break George Kittle's single-season NFL record for a tight end of 1,377.

  • Continues stellar stretch

    Kelce caught eight of 10 targets for 136 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-27 win over Miami.

    Analysis: Kelce's six-yard touchdown with 37 seconds left in the first half put the Chiefs up 14-10, and they proceeded to pull away with 16 unanswered points in the third quarter. The star tight end replicated his stat line from last week, and such performances have become the new normal for Kelce. He has caught at least eight passes in each of his last six games, topping 100 yards in five of those and finding the end zone in four. Kelce will look to keep rolling in Week 15 against the Saints.

    Kelce racked up 138 receiving yards and a touchdown on eight receptions (13 targets) in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: The Chiefs were uncharacteristically poor in the red zone, but Kelce was able to cash in on Patrick Mahomes' lone touchdown heave. The star tight end blew by the 1,000-yard marker for the fifth year in a row, and he is on pace to finish with double-digit touchdowns (eight through 12 games) for just the second time in his storied career.

    Kelce brought in all eight targets for 82 yards in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran was a distant second to Tyreek Hill in receptions, receiving yards and targets, but his numbers were nevertheless solid from a fantasy perspective. Kelce's yardage tally Sunday left him just short of the 1,000-yard mark for the campaign, a threshold that, once eclipsed, will render the 31-year-old the first tight end in NFL history to accomplish the feat in five consecutive seasons.

    Kelce hauled in eight passes (10 targets ) for 127 yards and a touchdown Sunday. He also completed his lone pass attempt on a trick play for four yards in a 35-31 win over Las Vegas.

    Analysis: Kelce feasted between the hashes against the Raiders' safeties, consistently getting open down the field as Patrick Mahomes scrambled to buy time behind the line before connecting with his favorite target. The 31-year-old has been on an absolute tear of late, averaging 9.3 receptions and 139.7 yards with two total touchdowns over his last three contests.

    Analysis: Kelce paced the team in receptions and receiving yards in a performance highlighted by a 44-yard grab, his second-longest catch of the campaign. The Panthers came into the contest with solid numbers against tight ends, but Kelce's elite athleticism, which has now helped him to three 100-yard efforts in the last five games, clearly overcame any statistical disadvantage.

    Analysis: Kelce's three-yard touchdown put the Chiefs up 21-9 with 58 seconds left in the first half, and he led the Chiefs in targets, catches and receiving yards as Patrick Mahomes piled up 416 yards and five touchdowns through the air. The league's most dependable receiving option at the tight end position has 48 catches for 610 yards and six touchdowns through eight games, putting Kelce on pace to eclipse 1,200 receiving yards for a third consecutive season.

    Analysis: The five-time Pro Bowler was proving to be the surest tight end in fantasy through the first six weeks of 2020, as he had amassed 70 receiving yards or recorded a touchdown in all six of his appearances entering Sunday. Kelce had three TDs in his preceding two games coming into the divisional tilt, but Kansas City tallied only one passing TD on 25 attempts during the drubbing of Denver.

    Analysis: Kelce got Kansas City on the board with an 11-yard reception toward the end of the first quarter, then found pay dirt from 12 yards out toward the end of the second. While those plays brought Kelce's touchdown total to five through six games, the tight end committed his first turnover of the season Monday, coughing the ball up just before halftime. That miscue surely bothers Kelce, but with at least five catches and/or 70 receiving yards in every game this season, he remains in great form ahead…read more

    Analysis: The All-Pro tight end led the Chiefs in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, and his seven-yard touchdown grab with 3:57 remaining gave Kansas City some fleeting hope. Kelce's 100-yard effort was his first of the season, and he's now logged double-digit targets on two occasions over the first five games. Kelce will look to stay hot in a Week 6 Monday evening road matchup versus the Bills.

    Analysis: Kelce again led Kansas City in receiving yards, with the bulk of his total coming on a 45-yard grab during the second half. That play was the Chiefs' longest of the game and helped compensate for Kelce posting a season low in catches. Nonetheless, with at least 70 yards and/or a touchdown in all four outings this season, Kelce is in fine form ahead of Week 5's game against the Raiders.

Although he couldn't continue his touchdown streak to start the season, instead seeing teammates Anthony Sherman and Eric Fisher vulture close-range scores through the air, Kelce still caught six passes for the third straight game and topped 85 yards for the second in a row. Up next for the highly touted tight end is a matchup against the Patriots in Week 4.

He got the Chiefs on the board with a 10-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, giving him two scores in as many games to start the season. The star tight end also has 140 yards and 15 receptions to his name already, so he should remain locked into fantasy lineups despite a seemingly difficult matchup against the Ravens next Monday night.

    Analysis: The big tight end was particularly involved early, producing a 4-30 line and his six-yard scoring grab over Kansas City's first two drives. Despite a relatively quiet night the rest of the way, Kelce still finished second on the team in receptions and tied for second in targets, making it a solid season-opening fantasy effort. The perennial Pro Bowler will look to put together a successful encore when he and his teammates face the Chargers in a Week 2 road matchup Sunday, Sept. 20.

Notably, Kelce turns 31 in October, meaning he'll be 36 if he's able to play out the entire contract.

Kelce earned every reception he secured against the 49ers' stingy defense, and even though he was largely held in check over the final two postseason wins, the multi-time Pro Bowler was spectacular during the regular season with a 97-1,229-5 line across 16 games.

    Analysis: During the first week of prep for the big game, the Chiefs continued to cap Kelce's reps, holding him to an LP/DNP/LP practice regimen. Still, his lack of designation Friday indicates the team isn't worried about his availability. While San Francisco's defense has held tight ends to an NFL-best 5.9 yards per target this season (including playoffs), the unit has allowed the 14th-most receptions (80) and ninth-most TDs (nine) to the position.

Kelce grabbed all but one of the looks thrown his way but did little of note outside his long gain of 18 yards. Despite this underwhelming effort, Kelce should be a focal point of the offense in the Super Bowl against either the 49ers or the Packers.

    Analysis: It remains to be seen if he works fully or is limited Thursday, but after Kelce was limited at practice Wednesday, Teicher relayed that the tight end's knee issue shouldn't keep him out of Sunday's playoff game against the Texans.

  • Limited by knee issue

    Kelce was limited at practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, the tight end's limitations were the result of a sore knee, but the issue "shouldn't keep" Kelce out of Sunday's playoff game against the Texans. Ideally, Kelce would erase any concern about his health heading into the divisional-round matchup by practicing fully Thursday and/or Friday.

  • Picks up three receptions

    Kelce caught three of five targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 31-21 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Kelce met or fell below season lows across multiple statistical categories Sunday, as a few big plays on special teams and in the run game negated the need for Patrick Mahomes to air it out. The victory still meant that the Chiefs will get a bye this weekend and face either the Patriots, Texans or Bills in the divisional round. In two games against New England and Houston this season, Kelce caught 11 of 15 passes for 124 yards to go along with a four-yard touchdown run.

  • Leads team in receiving

    Kelce had eight receptions (nine targets) for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-3 win over Chicago.

    Analysis: Kelce had another strong night from a yards and receptions standpoint, but he was also able to find the end zone for the first time since Week 11. It was the star tight end's fifth touchdown reception of the year, and that may be the only criticism that can be made of yet another 1,000-plus yard season (his fourth in a row). The Chiefs can still play their way into a first-round bye with some help from the Patriots in Week 17, so the team figures to deploy Kelce and the rest of its starters…read more

  • Racks up 142 yards in win

    Kelce caught 11 of 13 targets for 142 yards during Sunday's 23-3 win over Denver.

    Analysis: Sunday's snow-covered field wasn't necessarily conducive to a prolific passing attack, but the Chiefs hummed for most of the game thanks in large part to Kelce's work. The veteran tight end consistently shook open over the middle of the field for a season-high 11 catches, 13 targets and 142 yards, the most meaningful of which was likely an 11-yard reception late in the first quarter that made Kelce the first tight end in NFL history to record four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Kelce has been…read more

  • Paces Chiefs in win over Pats

    Kelce caught seven of nine targets for 66 yards and added a four-yard touchdown run in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: The tight end led the Chiefs in catches, targets and receiving yards, but his frequent usage may have had something to do with the knock Patrick Mahomes took to his throwing hand early in the game as the QB seemed reluctant to attack downfield afterwards, resulting in more underneath looks for Kelce. He's now just 11 yards shy of his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season, a mark he could reach early in Week 15's clash with the Broncos.

  • Leading receiver in big win

    Kelce caught five of nine targets for 90 yards in Sunday's 40-9 rout of the Raiders.

    Analysis: The Chiefs' passing game was surprisingly muted despite the final score, as windy conditions at Arrowhead Stadium prevented Patrick Mahomes from stretching the field as usual -- Kelce wound up leading the team in receiving yards thanks largely to a 47-yard catch-and-run in the third quarter. The tight end has topped 60 yards in five straight games, hauling in three TDs along the way, and he's now 77 yards shy of his fourth straight 1,000-yard campaign. Kelce could have a tough time reaching…read more

  • Hauls in touchdown in win

    Kelce caught seven of 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 24-17 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Kelce not only hauled in a team-long reception of 31 yards, but also caught Kansas City's only touchdown through the air, scoring from 23 yards out during the third quarter. In doing so, he comfortably led the Chiefs in all major receiving categories. Of course, that came after star wideout Tyreek Hill (hamstring) was forced into a very early exit, leaving Kelce as the unquestioned focal point of the passing attack. Although Hill will now have the bye week to get healthier, Kelce could…read more

  • Nabs seven passes in loss

    Kelce caught all seven of his targets for 75 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-32 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Kelce helped cap off Patrick Mahomes' first drive since exiting Week 7 with a knee injury, taking the shovel pass underneath for a three-yard touchdown. Having Mahomes back obviously benefits the Chiefs' attack, but Kelce's consistency didn't really suffer in his absence. The former Bearcat has been targeted at least six times in every game this season and has been held under 60 yards just twice in 10 games. He remains arguably the most consistent tight end in the game. Next up is a Monday…read more

  • Seven grabs in win

    Kelce secured seven of nine targets for 62 yards in the Chiefs' 26-23 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Kelce co-led the Chiefs in receptions while checking in just behind Sammy Watkins in receiving yardage. The veteran tight end was second on the team in targets as well, and he's logged at least eight looks in all but one game this season. With Patrick Mahomes (knee) looking ready for a Week 10 return, Kelce should be in position to continue his solid production versus the Titans in a road matchup.
