You drafted Josh Allen and Travis Kelce to start them. So start them. But in this week's In and Out, we set expectations for both players and more. As usual, we're painting outside the lines on all involved. In and Out, only @​Footballguys <https://www.footballguys.com/article/2026-in-and-out-week01> [Retweeted](

Over the last two years, Kelce has been TE9 and TE7 in fantasy points per game. His per-route efficiency screams he's on the back nine of his career. Among 59 qualifying tight ends last year, Kelce ranked 19th in yards per route run, 18th in yards after the catch per reception, and 16th in first downs per route run. Denver was 19th in yards per target versus tight ends while allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to the position. Kelce should see solid volume in Week 1, but the source doesn't expect a monster game; if he gets into the endzone, he could possibly salvage a low-end TE1 outing.

Finished TE3 in PPR last season (all 17 games played); described as 'washed' athletically by some but still #2 target for Mahomes behind Rice. Debate: Kelce's 2025 production (5th receptions, 4th targets, 4th yards, 8th TDs among TEs) sufficient for fantasy despite clear decline from 2020 peak. Comments note he's 37 years old, lacks athleticism of prime years, but volume/role remain strong. Rice's emergence as primary option reduces Kelce's ceiling; some managers avoid him, others see him as solid volume play in 9th round.

Brock Bowers accounted for a higher percentage of his offense’s first downs — as a rookie — than Travis Kelce ever did in a season. His stats could go nutso if the Klint Kubiak Raiders put points on the board

Ranked 88th in Week 1 FLEX rankings. Mattek highlights Kelce as a reliable tight end option with predictable high-floor production: 87% snap share, 82% route participation, 6–10 targets per game, and strong touchdown probability in any given week. Mattek emphasizes the consistency: 'don't you just know what you're getting out of Kelce... these guys are going to play 87% of the snaps. They're going to run 82% of the routes. They're going to get between like six and 10 targets.'
