Travis KelceNegativeJul 16, 2026RotoWire NFL Articles
Despite declining from 1,200 yards per season (2016-2022) to the 850-yard range and from nearly 10 touchdowns per season to about four, Kelce enters his 14th season at age 37 in an improved Chiefs situation. The team missed the playoffs last year and lost both starting cornerbacks, forcing higher offensive volume. Patrick Mahomes is recovering from a serious knee injury, which means less running and more easy throws to avoid the pass rush, setting up Kelce as a high-volume PPR asset. His ADP is outside the top 12 among tight ends, offering a draft-day discount relative to his expected high-volume PPR role.
Mark AndrewsNegativeJul 16, 2026RotoWire NFL Articles
Andrews posted a career-low 422 yards last season despite playing all 17 games for the second year in a row, averaging only about four targets per game—his fewest since his rookie year. With Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar no longer with the team, Andrews should see a bump in targets; Likely swiped 194 targets over the last four years, and he and Kolar combined for nearly two targets per game last season. Those targets should now go to Andrews. His only competition for tight end targets is blocking specialist Durham Smythe and a pair of rookies taken in the fourth and fifth round of the draft (Matthew Hibner and Josh Cuevas), giving him a clear path to increased target share. Andrews' struggles last season were related to Lamar Jackson's injury-plagued season. Jackson is healthy entering training camp, and he and Andrews should continue to build on their already great chemistry, supporting a rebound in production. Taking a shot on Andrews at his TE14 price is a low-risk gamble with significant upside given the target opportunity, quarterback health, and reduced competition.
Dallas GoedertPositiveJul 16, 2026RotoWire NFL Articles
With A.J. Brown no longer on the Eagles, Goedert becomes the primary pass catcher with physicality in the red zone. DeVonta Smith weighs 170 pounds and Makai Lemon weighs less than 200 pounds, so when the Eagles need someone to make big catches in traffic and in the red zone, Goedert will be the preferred option for Jalen Hurts. Goedert could surpass his career high of 60 catches in PPR formats, making him a strong PPR option despite facing serious touchdown regression (11 touchdowns last year after scoring 12 times 2021-2024). His ADP is TE15.
