Travis Kelce, the 37-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end, returned for his 14th NFL season on a one-year, $12 million deal after mulling retirement following the 2025 campaign. Through four games in 2026, he has posted 16 receptions for 246 yards and two touchdowns at a career-best 15.4 yards per catch, generating strong yards after catch and earning elite PFF receiving grades amid a resurgent start with Patrick Mahomes. His role as a reliable security blanket remains central in the Chiefs' passing attack, though target volume could shift with wide receiver injuries prompting offseason interest in additions like Tyreek Hill. Sustained health and usage through the 17-game schedule, including a Week 5 bye, will shape his final regular-season total.
