KC TE Travis Kelce - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Travis Kelce is one of the most athletic tight ends in the league. He stands tall at 6-foot-6, and is one of the fastest at his position. His talents led him to become one of Alex Smith's favorite targets.

Fantasy Downside
Comparing his breakout 2014 stats with his 2015 is kind of scary considering how similar they are. The numbers are nearly identical, which is not a good thing, because most were expecting an increased workload last year.

Bottom Line
If Kelce was in a different offense, like say the Packers, he'd be in the conversation for the best overall tight end. He's a very talented player whose skills are limited due to the offense he's in. He'll still have big games, and will finish as a TE1, but his potential is so much greater.

KC TE Travis Kelce - Week 19, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 19 at New England

After catching just one pass in the final game of the regular season, Travis Kelce and the rest of the Chiefs toasted the Houston Texans last Saturday. Kelce caught eight passes for 128 yards. It was his second big game of the season against the Texans, as he caught two touchdown passes against them in Week 1.

The fact Travis had a repeat big performance vs. Houston is worth noting going into this weekend. Last year when he played the Patriots, he caught eight passes for 93 yards and a touchdown. And the New England pass defense is not as strong as it was in 2014. Plus, top Kansas City wide receiver Jeremy Maclin is far from a lock to play this weekend. Kelce has a good chance at leading the Chiefs in targets and has returned to elite TE1 territory.

KC TE Travis Kelce - Week 18, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 18 at Houston

A lot has changed since Travis Kelce last played the Houston Texans back in Week 1. In that game, Kelce’s fantasy owners had visions of a Midwest Gronk running through their heads, as Travis caught six passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns. Of late, Kelce’s owners have had disturbing visions of post-2013 Vernon Davis. Kelce had one lousy reception for 10 yards in the season finale against Oakland. In Week 14, he could only muster three catches for 18 yards in a victory over San Diego.

So, will it be feast or famine with Kelce on Saturday? Despite his recent struggles, he is still one of the steadier players at the tight end position and his performances at the beginning and end of the regular season represent opposite extremes. Something in the middle is more likely, and Travis will give you a decent starter at a lower price than the likes of Jordan Reed and Tyler Eifert.

KC TE Travis Kelce - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs Oakland

Travis Kelce was expected to be more of a red zone threat in 2015, but headed into Week 16 with just four touchdowns, two of which were in an opening day win against Houston. However, Kelce came through for fantasy coaches with a score in Week 16. He caught six passes for 43 yards overall and was targeted more than anyone else on the Kansas City roster.

In last year’s meeting with Oakland at Arrowhead Stadium, Kelce caught five passes for 59 yards and a touchdown. Although Travis has not been the high-end, Gronk-like TE1 many were hoping he would be, he continues to be one of the few somewhat dependable players at a depleted spot in the fantasy football landscape. And he is worthy of one more start on Sunday.

KC TE Travis Kelce - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Cleveland

After spending Week 14 in the fantasy football witness relocation program, Travis Kelce made a nice return to the scene last weekend against the Ravens, catching six passes for 73 yards. Only Jeremy Maclin was targeted more among the Kansas City receivers, as it appears Andy Reid and the rest of the coaching staff made a concerted effort to get Travis more involved.

The Cleveland defense has been terrible throughout the season. The Browns have surrendered 29 touchdown passes. Kelce has not delivered the monster ceiling people think he is capable of, but given the favorable opponent and the fact he is still one of the best players at a weaker position, you can lock him into your lineup as a TE1.

KC TE Travis Kelce - Week 15, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Baltimore

All season long, the majority of the fantasy community has given Travis Kelce the benefit of the doubt because of his upside and the lack of quality options at the tight end position. Well, it is officially time to call Travis a disappointment. He caught three passes for 18 last Sunday. A rainy day in Kansas City did not help his cause, but that was an appalling performance during one of the most important weeks of the fantasy season.

On the surface, Baltimore has a weak pass defense. They have given up 27 touchdown passes and a decent amount of yardage. However, only two tight ends have found the end zone against the Ravens all season. Kelce almost has to rebound after such a poor showing, especially with the weather not expected to pose a problem, but consider him more of a low-end TE1.

KC TE Travis Kelce - Week 14, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs San Diego

One of fantasy football’s disappointments in Week 13 was Travis Kelce. Expected to have a big day against an Oakland defense that has had trouble stopping tight ends, Kelce was limited to two receptions for 42 yards and a two-point conversion as he was targeted just three times.

Earlier this season, Kelce caught five passes for 46 yards when Kansas City crushed the Chargers 33-3. Kelce would have had a bigger day, but a touchdown catch he had made in the end zone was overturned on replay. With Travis still having as much upside as anyone at his position and the Chargers in the midst of a total collapse, he will continue to be a TE1 this week and the rest of the way with Kansas City possessing a soft schedule throughout the fantasy playoff season.
