Video: Top 24 Tight End Rankings & Tiers - 2026 Fantasy Football
Travis Kelce is a player that is so damn difficult to rank, like honestly, he may be too low in my rankings... he's going to be 37 years old this next season... the only tight ends we've seen over the past like 20 years do anything at all in their age 36 season were Antonio Gates and Mercedes-Lewis, and neither tight end finished with five points per game or more in their age 37 year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

TE7 PPG with Mahomes healthy; age discount warranted but GOAT status matters.

Kelce is extremely difficult to rank and may be too low in current rankings. With Patrick Mahomes healthy, Kelce was tight end seven in PPG last season at 1.85 yards per route run—higher than his 2024 rate. While age discount is warranted (he'll be 37), historical data shows only Antonio Gates and Mercedes Lewis produced anything at age 36 in the past 20 years, and neither finished with 5+ PPG at age 37. However, the case can be made that age doesn't matter given his GOAT-tier status, and he should be prioritized over Ferguson, Gaston, and Kittle if Mahomes stays healthy.
