Looks like Travis Kelce is playing in 2025, and while he’s coming off a productive 2024 season with 97 catches for 823 yards, his role in fantasy football is evolving. At 35 years old, Kelce’s connection with Patrick Mahomes remains strong, but the rise of younger tight ends like Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer, and Sam LaPorta has slightly lowered his ceiling. The Chiefs are expected to take a more cautious approach with Kelce in the regular season, managing his workload to ensure he’s ready for a playoff push. This strategy could limit his consistency for fantasy owners, but Kelce’s ability to deliver in key moments makes him a crucial piece of the Chiefs’ offense when it matters most.

For fantasy gamers, Kelce still remains a top 7 tight end with top 5 upside, especially in red-zone situations where he continues to excel. While younger tight ends are emerging, Kelce’s established role in a high-powered offense keeps him valuable. As the 2025 season progresses, and Kelce is ramped up for the playoffs, his value could rise down the stretch. If you can get him at a discounted price, he’s still a decent floor, high-ceiling option capable of delivering big performances when it counts the most.
