Travis Kelce secured eight of 12 targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Kansas City Chiefs' 16-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.Kelce set the pace for the Chiefs in receptions and targets while checking in just a yard short of Kareem Hunt for a tie for the team lead in that category as well. The star tight end also recorded his second touchdown of the season on a two-yard grab late in the first half, and he now boasts a 32-254-2 line on 40 targets in his last three games alone as Kansas City prepares for a Week 11 road showdown against the Bills.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Stays hot with 14 catches Monday
Travis Kelce hauled in 14 of 16 targets for 100 yards with one lost fumble in Monday's overtime win over the Buccaneers.Kelce reached triple digits in receiving yards for the first time this season, and the Kansas City Chiefs needed every yard after narrowly defeating the Buccaneers. The star tight end has generated a whopping 24 receptions and 190 yards with a touchdown over his previous two contests. The presence of trade acquisition DeAndre Hopkins has clearly benefited Kelce by giving Kansas City another threat to worry about. The latter could be in store for a big second half based on recent developments as the Chiefs prepare to host the Broncos on Sunday.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Biggest fantasy game in 2024
Travis Kelce corralled 10 of 12 targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders.Kelce posted a strong receiving line complemented by his first receiving touchdown of the 2024 season. The star tight end finally put it all together for fantasy managers who drafted him early in drafts this year. Perhaps the addition of proven No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins will finally draw defenses away from Kelce. Up next for the Kansas City Chiefs is a primetime matchup against the Buccaneers next Monday.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Little room to operate in win
Travis Kelce finished with four receptions (five targets) for 17 yards in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers.It was clear that the 49ers came into this contest with a game plan to limit Kelce for a shorthanded Kansas City Chiefs offense. While the opponent's defensive strategy was successful, it did not lead to a win, as Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City's rushing attack (four combined touchdowns) took care of business Sunday. Kelce was coming off of a pair of strong fantasy outings in his previous two contests, so managers will be hoping for a bounce-back performance against the Raiders next Sunday.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Season-best effort in win
Travis Kelce secured nine of 10 targets for 70 yards in the Kansas City Chiefs' 26-13 win over the Saints on Monday night.Kelce led the Chiefs in receptions and targets on the night with figures that also qualified as season highs. The star tight end has reemerged over the last pair of contests after a worrisome first three games, having generated a 14-159-0 line in the former span. Kelce's contributions have been particularly critical considering the depleted nature of the team's receiving corps, which has now lost its top two members in Rashee Rice (IR, knee) and Marquise Brown (IR, shoulder). Kelce should continue to play an elevated role when Kansas City emerges from a Week 6 bye to face the 49ers in a road Super Bowl rematch on Sunday, Oct. 20.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Performance improves
Travis Kelce recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers.After combining to earn only 12 targets through three games this season, Kelce finally saw a more significant role in the Kansas City Chiefs' offense. He had a few big gains on the day, the longest of which was a 38-yard catch down the right sideline on the team's first possession. While Kelce isn't likely to return to his production from past campaigns, he'll almost certainly regain his role as the centerpiece of the offense with Rashee Rice (knee) suffering an apparent long-term injury Sunday.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Slow start continues
Travis Kelce caught one of three targets for five yards and added a one-yard run in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.Kelce came just short of his first touchdown of the season in the third quarter, getting tackled inside the 1-yard line before backup left tackle Wanya Morris caught a touchdown on the next play to give Kansas City a 17-16 lead. The star tight end had a 41-yard catch called back on a holding penalty in the fourth quarter, so he came close to significantly improving his meager stat line on two separate occasions. As things stand, Kelce has just 39 receiving yards on the season heading into Week 3 against the Falcons.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Quiet night in opener
Travis Kelce caught three of four targets for 34 yards in a 27-20 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.Kelce had an uncharacteristically quiet performance to start the season, with fellow tight end Noah Gray actually matching his reception total and outgaining him by three yards. Most of Kelce's production came on an impressive 23-yard reception, as the veteran star ceded the spotlight to Rashee Rice and rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy. Kelce should have a more robust role other weeks this season, and he'll aim to make good on that possibility against the Bengals in Week 2.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Catches behind-the-back pass
Travis Kelce caught one reception for eight yards on one target in Saturday's preseason game against Detroit.What looked like a nifty trick play turned out to be a comical and fortuitous accident, as Patrick Mahomes threw a behind-the-back screen pass to Kelce that was later clarified as Kelce running the wrong route and Mahomes throwing behind the back out of momentary necessity. Either way, it's more of the same story from the past six years -- Mahomes and Kelce dominating, be it by accident or design. Particularly with the downfield speed of Marquise Brown (shoulder) and Xavier Worthy spreading defenses thin, Kelce should see a lot of targets in 2024.
