Outlook Travis Kelce
Proven Veteran Remains a High-Floor Value in Drafts
Kelce enters his 14th NFL campaign anchoring Kansas City's tight end room ahead of Noah Gray and Jared Wiley. Even at this stage of his career, he remains Patrick Mahomes' most trusted safety valve over the middle, maintaining a pivotal role in an evolving Chiefs passing attack alongside Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy.
Our season projections forecast another productive year, slotting him for 73 receptions on 107 targets for 765 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns (184.0 fantasy points). While explosive yardage totals may be tapering off, his route volume and elite red-zone awareness provide a dependable weekly floor.
Draft sentiment has softened notably in recent weeks, with his ADP tumbling from the 107 range down to around 144 to 148. That declining cost presents a tremendous value opportunity in 1.0 PPR leagues for managers seeking reliable tight end production without early-round capital.

Outlook Oronde Gadsden
Late-Round Stash With Sneaky Upside After Preseason Market Drop
After posting 49 receptions for 664 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games as a rookie in 2025, Oronde Gadsden enters his second campaign facing a crowded Chargers tight end room. Operating alongside Charlie Kolar and David Njoku, Gadsden must carve out steady snaps to secure consistent receiving work.
Draft sentiment has cratered over the summer. Gadsden’s ADP tumbled from pick 123 in July to past pick 214 by September, while his roster rate dropped toward 12%. The sliding market reflects growing skepticism about his standing on the depth chart and path to immediate volume.
Despite fading market buzz, our projections still see standalone value, pegging him for 60 catches, 615 yards, and four touchdowns (123.0 fantasy points). At his virtually free draft-day price, Gadsden represents an intriguing late-round stash if he claims a larger share of Justin Herbert's targets.
