Chiefs Expect Travis Kelce Back

Travis Kelce Headshot

Chiefs GM Brett Veach said from the Combine that TE Travis Kelce is "fired up" about playing in 2025. “We left it as, he’d be back and we’re excited to get him back and get him going," Veach added. Kelce was non-committal about his plans earlier this month, but it sounds like he's let the Chiefs know that he's returning for what will be his 13th season. Kelce posted career lows in multiple categories and scored his fewest PPR points per game since 2015 last year, but he still finished seventh among TEs. Perhaps his fantasy production dips again this year, but we wouldn't bet against him at least cracking the top 12. Kelce's early best-ball ADP is sitting in Round 10 -- although that figures to climb multiple rounds with this news.
