Yahoo Fantasy Football on Travis Kelce

Kelce's age and Mahomes' injury recovery limit ceiling against elite Broncos defense.

Kelce performed well against the Broncos last season, recording a season-best nine catches for 91 yards and a touchdown against them in Week 11, but trusting him in the 2026 opener seems risky. Not only is Kelce another year older, but Mahomes is coming off an injury, which could push the Chiefs into a more ground-dominant approach in Week 1. Kelce could still be a top-10 TE if he can find the end zone, but he has a very low floor otherwise against a top-tier defense. The source recommends sitting him in Week 1.
