Travis Kelce Fantasy Football Outlook (2023)

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Wed, Sep 6th 2023, 12:25am EDT

All hail the king of tight ends! Travis Kelce has finished TE1 in PPR fantasy scoring in six of the last seven seasons, settling for a runner-up finish behind Mark Andrews in 2021. The gap between Kelce and all other tight ends was a vast chasm in 2022. Kelce averaged 19.2 PPR points; the next-closest tight end, T.J. Hockenson, averaged 13.3 fantasy points. Kelce has strung together seven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, and he's averaged 8.4 touchdowns per year over that span. In 2022, he had a career-high 110 catches for 1,338 yards and 12 touchdowns. Kelce turns 34 in October, but the bigger concern for people with late fantasy drafts is that Kelce hyperextended his knee in a Sept. 5 practice, leaving his status for Week 1 (and perhaps beyond) in doubt.
