Idle for Week 18
Published: 2025-01-05
Kelce (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Kelce didn't miss any practice time this week, but with the Chiefs having already clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed heading to regular-season finale, he'll be rested along with several other key players on both sides of the ball. Noah Gray and Peyton Hendershot will be the Chiefs' available options at tight end in Week 18.

Doubtful for Sunday
Published: 2025-01-03
Kelce (coach's decision) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest in Denver.
This comes as no surprise, as QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) also is listed as doubtful, RB Isiah Pacheco (ribs) has been ruled out, and RB Kareem Hunt received the same listing as Kelce. With the Chiefs having locked up the No. 1 seed on the AFC side of the playoffs, they're taking a cautious approach with a number of key players, which predictably includes Kelce. At least for Week 18, Noah Gray, Peyton Hendershot and practice-squad members Robert Tonyan and Anthony Firkser will be the candidates to fill in at tight end for Kansas City. Kelce instead will turn his focus to the team's postseason opener in the divisional round on either Jan. 18 or 19.
Candidate to sit out Week 18
Published: 2025-01-01
Kelce is among several Chiefs starters who could be rested for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Chiefs announced Wednesday that Carson Wentz will start at quarterback Sunday while Patrick Mahomes rests, per Schefter, and there's a very good chance other Kansas City starters will follow the same path at the star quarterback. Kelce would be among the most likely candidates to get the day off given his veteran status, heavy workload throughout the campaign and key role in the team's offense. If the 35-year-old does indeed spend the game on the sideline, Noah Gray and Peyton Hendershot would likely lead the Chiefs' tight-end corps against Denver.
Sets new frachise record Wednesday
Published: 2024-12-25
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.
Slump continues in Week 16 win
Published: 2024-12-21
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.
Gets four catches in win
Published: 2024-12-15
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 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.
Becomes fastest TE to 12,000 yards
Published: 2024-12-08
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.
Garners 13 targets Friday
Published: 2024-11-29
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.
Overshadowed in solid performance
Published: 2024-11-24
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 in four of 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.
