Kelce had eight receptions on 11 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Wednesday's 29-10 win over the Steelers. Kelce snapped out of a minor slump with his best fantasy performance since Week 8 against Las Vegas (10-90-1). The future Hall of Famer passed current member and former Chief, Tony Gonzalez, for the club record in career receiving touchdowns (67). With the Chiefs clinching the No. 1 seed throughout the playoffs following Wednesday's win, the team may opt to rest some of its key players in Week 18. Kansas City has 10 days off before a road tilt against Denver next Sunday, so make sure to check on the status of the team's key fantasy options leading up to that matchup.
Kelce caught five of seven targets for 30 yards in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans. Kelce had 15 receiving yards in each half. His touchdown drought now sits at six games, and Kelce has 45 or fewer receiving yards in each of his last three outings. The slumping tight end won't have to wait long to try to get back on track, as the Chiefs will be right back in action Wednesday against the Steelers for a Christmas Day matinee.
Kelce secured four of eight targets for 27 yards in the Chiefs' 21-7 win over the Browns on Sunday. The star tight end had a quiet afternoon by his standards, but it came on an afternoon when Patrick Mahomes averaged just 4.2 yards per attempt overall. Kelce finished third on the team in receptions and receiving yards while also checking in second in targets, and he'll head into a Week 16 home matchup against the Texans on Saturday afternoon with at least Sunday's catch total in four consecutive contests.
Kelce caught five of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Chargers. Kelce became the fastest tight end in NFL history to reach 12,000 career receiving yards, doing so in his 172nd regular-season game. Tony Gonzalez had the previous record at 210 games. Kelce's team-high 45 receiving yards included a nine-yard catch on third-and-7 coming out of the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter, which allowed Kansas City to run the clock down to one second before Matthew Wright kicked a game-winning 31-yard field goal. Heading into a Week 15 road game against the Browns, Kelce has 80 catches for 682 yards and two touchdowns this season.
Kelce finished with seven receptions on 13 targets for 68 yards in Friday's 19-17 win over the Raiders. Kelce led the Chiefs in targets while recording his second highest total in that category in the 2024 season. Friday's yards also marked the star's highest total since Week 9. Backup wide receiver Justin Watson vultured Patrick Mahomes' only passing touchdown in the win, which has been the story for Kelce's fantasy season through 12 games (two touchdowns). The 34-year-old still looks beastly with the ball in his hands, so the potential for a breakout performance is still in the cards for frustrated managers. Kelce posted a healthy 7-89-0 line against the Chargers in Week 4, with the two teams set to face each other against next Sunday at Arrowhead.
Kelce recorded six receptions on eight targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Panthers. Kelce led the team with eight targets and surpassed 50 receiving yards for the fourth time in six games since the Chiefs' Week 6 bye. His performance was highlighted by long gains of 27 and 19 yards, both of which went on to set up field goals. Despite the solid performance, Kelce was overshadowed by Noah Gray, who caught a pair of touchdowns.
Kelce was held to two receptions (on four targets) for eight yards in Sunday's 30-21 loss to the Bills. It was a game to forget for both Kelce and the Chiefs as the team suffered its first loss of the 2024 campaign. The star tight end couldn't even salvage fantasy managers' Sundays with a touchdown on either of his short catches. To make matters worse, backup Noah Gray poached two potential scoring chances from the longtime starter in Kansas City. Kelce was coming off of his best three-week stretch of the season prior to Sunday's dud, so look for better results as the Chiefs attempt to bounce back against the Panthers next Sunday.
Kelce secured eight of 12 targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 16-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday. Kelce set the pace for the Chiefs in receptions and targets while checking in just a yard short of Kareem Hunt for a tie for the team lead in that category as well. The star tight end also recorded his second touchdown of the season on a two-yard grab late in the first half, and he now boasts a 32-254-2 line on 40 targets in his last three games alone as Kansas City prepares for a Week 11 road showdown against the Bills.
Kelce hauled in 14 of 16 targets for 100 yards with one lost fumble in Monday's overtime win over the Buccaneers. Kelce reached triple digits in receiving yards for the first time this season, and the Chiefs needed every yard after narrowly defeating the Buccaneers. The star tight end has generated a whopping 24 receptions and 190 yards with a touchdown over his previous two contests. The presence of trade acquisition DeAndre Hopkins has clearly benefited Kelce by giving Kansas City another threat to worry about. The latter could be in store for a big second half based on recent developments as the Chiefs prepare to host the Broncos on Sunday.
