Why It Matters: Nothing looked good for the Chiefs offensively on Sunday night, and that included Kelce, who caught half of his eight targets for 44 yards, which tied with Noah Gray for team-high honors. After opening the season with 14 receptions, 231 yards, and 2 TDs in his first three games, Kelce has managed a combined 10-112-0 line in the last three. That's not an encouraging trend for the 37-year-old tight end, especially when Rashee Rice (hamstring) is out of the lineup, which should push Kelce into a higher-usage role. The veteran is teetering on the fence of TE1/TE2

value right now, but it's best to hold onto him as he has already proven he can still deliver this year.
