Look at the Chiefs roster and tell me how they're going to function as a playoff contender without peppering Kelce with his usual high target share? He was the TE4 last season (TE9 on a per-game basis), and that was with Patrick Mahomes II hurt for part of the season.

STACKED’s take

Wood's TE7 rank vs. consensus TE9; Kelce's target role intact despite offseason noise.

Jason Wood ranks Kelce as TE7 versus consensus TE9 (ADP 10), a 2.5-rank gap favoring Kelce. Wood dismisses offseason concerns about Kelce falling off the cliff, noting the Chiefs roster cannot function as a playoff contender without peppering Kelce with his usual high target share. Kelce was TE4 last season (TE9 on a per-game basis) despite Patrick Mahomes II being hurt for part of the season. Wood has medium odds of adjusting if Mahomes' ACL recovery lags or Kelce suffers a soft-tissue injury in camp, but otherwise sees no reason to think his baseline has changed, with touchdown variance offering further upside.
