Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce caught four of six targets for 72 yards and added a 1-yard touchdown run in Week 9 against the New York Jets.

Why It Matters: Kelce scored a rushing touchdown for the third time in his career - his first since 2021 - giving his fantasy managers a surprise boost. He’s been targeted 21 times over the last three weeks, which he has turned into 13 receptions for 183 yards. Xavier Worthy's likely extended absence (he suffered a hamstring injury late in this one) could open the door to more targets for Kelce, although he is what he is at this point - a low-end TE1 with moderate upside - regardless of who is or isn't playing. He'll be on the back end of the TE1 spectrum in Week 10 against the Falcons.
