Jalen Royals is a Kansas City Chief
2 weeks ago

The Chiefs select Jalen Royals in the 4th round.

The Kansas City Chiefs add to their wide receiver core as they select Jalen Royals from Utah State. The shift wide receiver will offer versatility that is needed in the Chiefs offense. 

 

The Chiefs have been trying to replace the loss of Tyreek Hill for a few years now and have had differing results. Rashee Rice looked to be the next WR1 in Kansas City, but he was hurt for the season in week 4 and has a looming suspension into 2025. Xavier Worthy showed some flashes late in the season, but any injury or suspension would show to the lack of depth the Chiefs have. 

 

With an aging Travis Kelce, adding Jalen Royals will help give Patrick Mahomes another much needed weapon. Royals looks to be a better best ball pick versus redraft as it will be difficult to know when to start Royals.

Travis Kelce's 2025 Return: A Fantasy Football Gamble or Hidden Gem?
2 months ago

Travis Kelce’s 2025 Return: A Fantasy Football Gamble or Hidden Gem?

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.

Is Travis Kelce Really Ready to Retire?

Travis Kelce’s Potential Retirement: What’s Next for the Chiefs Star?

Travis Kelce is at a crossroads in his career as he approaches the 2025 season, with retirement a real possibility. At 35, the Chiefs’ star tight end has had a long career filled with deep playoff runs, and the toll of playing extra games year after year is starting to weigh on him. While his regular-season numbers took a hit once again this year, Kelce’s still a key guy for Kansas City, known for stepping up when it matters most. He’s been contemplating whether he wants to keep going, especially after his lowest yardage and touchdown totals in years. But with three Super Bowls and numerous records under his belt, Kelce’s decision is a big one.

 

 

Despite some struggles in the regular season, Kelce showed he’s still got it in the playoffs, delivering big performances when the Chiefs needed him most. His ability to shine in the postseason—like setting a record for the most 100-yard playoff games—proves he’s not done yet. If Kelce decides to come back for 2025, he’ll still be one of the top fantasy tight ends out there, especially with his knack for big moments. It’s all about whether he’s motivated enough to keep playing at the highest level, but if he does, expect him to remain a key player for the Chiefs and a go-to option in fantasy leagues.

Travis Kelce on the verge of history in 5th Super Bowl appearance
3 months ago

Travis Kelce can surpass legend Jerry Rice as the leader in catches in a Super Bowl history.

Travis Kelce is already the all time leader in postseason catches, by a wide margin with 174.  Kelce is a certified first-ballot hall of fame player in his own right whenever he decides to retire.  On Sunday in the Super Bowl, Travis Kelce has a chance to pass the receiver many consider the greatest of all time, Jerry Rice.

 

Travis Kelce needs just 3 receptions to surpass Rice as the leader all-time in catches in the Super Bowl.  Rice currently has the record with 33 in 4 games, and Kelce needs just 3 receptions to sit alone at the top of the Super Bowl leaderboard.  Kelce has averaged 7.5 receptions and 75 yards in his previous 4 appearances in the Super Bowl.

 

Kelce has a receptions line set at 6.5 receptions for Super Bowl 59.  He has been 2nd on the team in targets and receptions this postseason with 12 and 9 respectively, but there is no more reliable option for the Chiefs when they need someone to make a play.

Travis Kelce's Playoff Mastery: A Dominant Performance

Travis Kelce’s Playoff Mastery: A Dominant Performance

Travis Kelce proved once again that he has plenty left in the tank during the Chiefs’ 23-14 divisional-round victory over Houston, catching seven of eight targets for 117 yards and a touchdown. This dominant performance was his best of the 2024 season, showcasing his ability to step up in the most critical moments—particularly in the playoffs. Despite a dip in regular-season production, Kelce remains Patrick Mahomes’ top target when it matters most. His clutch play was highlighted by the touchdown that helped him surpass Jerry Rice for the most postseason touchdowns in NFL history.

 

Looking ahead to the AFC Championship, Kelce’s fantasy outlook is extremely promising. Whether he faces the Bills or Ravens, both defenses have had issues defending elite tight ends this season. With his recent performance and history of thriving in big games, Kelce is poised to be a top-tier fantasy option for DFS play in the coming week.

Travis Kelce’s 10th Consecutive Pro Bowl Selection: A Solid 2024 Season for Fantasy Gamers

Travis Kelce’s 10th Consecutive Pro Bowl Selection: A Solid 2024 Season for Fantasy Gamers

Travis Kelce may not have had the explosive 2024 season fantasy managers were hoping for, but he still delivered solid production, finishing as the TE5 overall. With 97 receptions for 823 yards and 3 touchdowns on the year, Kelce continues to be a reliable target for Patrick Mahomes, despite the Chiefs’ offensive depth growing. While his overall numbers didn’t reach the elite heights of previous seasons—largely due to the emergence of other pass-catching options and a slight dip in touchdowns—Kelce’s consistency remains a key asset for fantasy teams.

 

 

Still, Kelce’s season is far from disappointing, especially when factoring in his impressive 10th consecutive Pro Bowl selection. His seven-year streak of 90+ catches remains the longest by any player in NFL history, cementing his legacy as one of the league’s greatest tight ends. With over 12,000 career receiving yards and 80 touchdowns to his name, Kelce is firmly planted in the record books. While his fantasy value didn’t peak this year, his continued dominance and Pro Bowl status further prove why he’s still a cornerstone for both the Chiefs and fantasy rosters—proof that even in a quieter season, Travis Kelce is still an elite option.
