News: 14 hours agoKelce recorded six receptions on eight targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Panthers.

Spin: 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.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: The stats back Kelce as best tight end in fantasy football history. He has 2,116.7 points since 2016, by far the most any tight end has scored over an eight-year period, and he has six positional first-place finishes in that span, never finishing worse than third. Still, Kelce's detractors cite his 10.6 yards per reception and 12.9% big-play rates from 2023, both the worst of his NFL career. We counter that the Chiefs' problems at wide receiver put oodles of pressure on him to perform, and made it easier for opponents to defend him. Kelce's days of being a mid-first-round pick and virtual TE1 lock might be behind him, but he's still Patrick Mahomes' go-to guy and plenty capable of a 2023 repeat.
