Over the past two seasons, it appeared that Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce took a dive in production. He was a 1,000-yard receiver for seven seasons running, but only secured 984 in 2023 and 823 in 2025.

Kelce, returning for the 2025 season, still ranks in the top ten in the league in his position and among the best overall. His ranking of 37th acknowledges that he's not producing the exact numbers as in past seasons, but is still valued and essential to the Chiefs' offense, with teams constantly planning against him.

"He wasn't quite as good last year as he's been in his career with too many drops, but he still remains one of the best in the league. A bad year for him was catching 93 passes, but his yards per catch fell to 10.6, the lowest of his career. He did amp it up in the postseason with 32 catches in four games."
