Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down as he enters his age-35 season, but one ESPN writer believes that the regression will begin right here in 2024.
Last season, Travis Kelce missed two games but still compiled 93 receptions for 984 yards and five touchdowns. He was virtually unstoppable in the postseason, however, with 35 receptions for 355 yards and three touchdowns.
in his 2024 fantasy football projections, ESPN’s Mike Clay precicts Kelce to fall below 1,000 yards receiving for the second consecutive year. Clay has the three-time Super Bowl champion finishing with 83 receptions for 836 yards and seven touchdowns.
Clay believes Travis Kelce will lead Kansas City in receptions and yards while sharing the team lead in TD receptions with second-year wideout Rashee Rice. He predicts that Rice, Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown and rookie Xavier Worthy will all compile over 50 receptions and north of 700 yards receiving.

2023 marked the first year since 2015 where Kelce failed to hit 1,000 yards receiving. Of course, the perennial Pro Bowler would have undoubtedly hit the feat if he didn’t miss two games.
