Outlook Travis Kelce

Reliable Legend Offers Excellent Value at a Shifting Draft Day Discount

Returning for his 14th season, Travis Kelce remains the clear lead tight end in Kansas City's offense ahead of Noah Gray and Jared Wiley. While his absolute peak years may be behind him, his connection with Patrick Mahomes ensures a robust weekly target floor.

Our projections expect Kelce to remain highly productive, forecasting 73 receptions for 768 yards and 5 touchdowns. Currently rostered in 95% of leagues, fantasy managers are starting him in 63% of lineups, reflecting a reliable starter who still commands a significant share of the Chiefs' high-powered passing attack.

Kelce's ADP has steadily slipped from the late-60s in early June to around 109 in mid-July. This decline in draft cost represents a fantastic buying opportunity in PPR formats, turning the future Hall of Famer from a premium reach into a high-value steal.

Outlook Colby Parkinson

Crowded Rams Tight End Room Threatens to Cap Colby Parkinson's Fantasy Value

Colby Parkinson enters the season listed atop the Rams' tight end depth chart, but his path to consistent volume is highly congested. Los Angeles boasts a crowded room with Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson, and Max Klare all vying for snaps. While Parkinson caught 49 passes for 483 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2025, repeating that scoring efficiency will be incredibly difficult in this offense.

Looking at market momentum, Parkinson's ADP has fluctuated, peaking near pick 140 in June before settling back down to 197. In PPR formats, fantasy managers are treating him as a late-round flyer, mirroring a recent slide in our ownership trends. Our projections expect a step back, forecasting 36 receptions for 350 yards and four touchdowns.

Ultimately, Parkinson is a low-risk bench option rather than a draft-day steal. His fantasy utility is heavily touchdown-dependent, making him a matchup-based streaming candidate rather than a reliable weekly starter in typical leagues.
