Trends


"Kelce is a future Hall of Famer, but his days as an elite fantasy tight end may be over. Kelce's targets and receptions actually increased from 2023 to 2024, but he saw a big dip in yards (823), TDs (three), yards per target (6.1) and RAC (3.5), all of which were career lows. After finishing no lower than third in fantasy points (second in PPG) in eight straight seasons, Kelce fell to fifth (seventh in PPG) in 2024. He will continue to benefit from Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' pass-heavy offense, but especially with the team's WR upgrades, the 35-year-old is now more of a midrange TE1."


"Kelce had stated after the Super Bowl loss to the Eagles that he hadn't yet decided whether he'd continue his playing career for a 13th pro season, but Chiefs GM Brett Veach said at the NFL Scouting Combine this week that he expected the veteran tight end to return for another year. Kelce has now confirmed it and will formally announce it on his New Heights podcast this week. Kelce will turn 36 years old in October and is certainly slowing down at this stage of his career, but he's ready to give it another run with Kansas City. It will be interesting to see what his role looks like in 2025, especially with Rashee Rice (knee) due back to full health as the Chiefs' power slot receiver and the anticipated leap of Xavier Worthy in his second season following a big stretch run and postseason. Kelce's days as an elite fantasy tight end are likely over."

I. Player News & Analysis

Trends


"Thielen returns for his age-35 season, continuing to defy the odds and play productive football. Granted, he missed seven games in 2024, but Thielen remained Bryce Young's top target and posted his fourth top-25 fantasy campaign (PPG) in his past five seasons. He played his best ball late in the season, averaging 7.7 targets per game and producing at least 15 fantasy points in four of his final six outings. Thielen doesn't have a high ceiling and is likely to play a lesser role with first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan in the mix, but he's still a reliable target (he's finished third in catch rate two seasons in a row). That's enough to keep him in the flex discussion in deep leagues."


"Thielen said in early February that he wants to play for at least one more season, and he'll be able to do that as he returns for a third campaign in Carolina on a revised contract. The veteran wideout's 48 catches and 615 yards last season were his fewest since 2019, but he played in only 10 games due to a hamstring injury and still managed to catch five touchdowns. Despite the missed time, Thielen led Carolina in both receiving yards and receiving touchdowns last season, and he'll likely continue to be a top target for up-and-coming quarterback Bryce Young in 2025."

Adam Thielen's target share has increased by 67.61% over the past 10 weeks.

Adam Thielen's targets have decreased by 35.71% over the past 6 weeks.

Trends


"Strange is the new No. 1 tight end in Jacksonville following the release of Evan Engram. We got a preview of this last season when Engram was sidelined for eight games. In those weeks, Strange played 72% of the snaps and handled a solid 14.6% target share (4.9 per game). That led to one big fantasy outing (12-11-73-0 in Week 15), but he otherwise averaged 6.9 fantasy PPG and failed to clear 12.4 points in any of the other seven games. Perhaps Strange gets to another level in Year 3, but, especially with Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter set to be featured, the 2023 second-round pick seems likely to settle in as a low-ceiling TE2."


"It was a nice bounce-back effort from the second-year tight end, who failed to catch his only target in Week 17 against the Titans. Strange started the final four games of the season for the Jaguars with Evan Engram (shoulder) sidelined, catching 17 of 21 targets for 155 yards over that stretch. Engram is expected to be fully healthy to begin Jacksonville's offseason program and has one more year remaining on his current contract, which will likely relegate Strange to a backup role again to begin 2025."

Brenton Strange's target share has increased by 113.6% over the past 8 weeks.

Brenton Strange's targets have increased by 200.0% over the past 8 weeks.

Brenton Strange's receiving yards have increased by 134.85% over the past 8 weeks.

Brenton Strange's fantasy points have increased by 162.93% over the past 8 weeks.
