Travis Kelce Could Defy Age with Huge Season

Eric Karabell writes that Don't be surprised if Travis Kelce leads the Chiefs in receptions and receiving yards again despite turning 37. Kelce looked rejuvenated early, averaging 10.8 yards per target and 14.3 per catch, both career highs. He's one of only three tight ends to surpass 500 receiving yards in their age-36 season.

Fantasy managers largely overlooked Kelce, drafting eight tight ends earlier in ESPN ADP. He enters Week 3 fourth in tight end scoring behind Trey McBride, Dalton Kincaid and Isaiah Likely. Karabell also notes Zach Ertz, 35, could be a sneaky deep-league play for the Eagles while Dallas Goedert recovers from knee surgery.

The tight end position appears loaded with young talent including Brock Bowers, Colston Loveland and Sam La Porta who haven't even reached 12 receptions through two weeks.
