Given that these two were ranked first and second in tight end ADP during fantasy draft season, it seems fitting to combine their reviews into a single post.
Let us start with Kelce. He is off to a bad start in the 2024 season, ranked 27th in TE points and maybe costing his fantasy managers some early-season losses.
To determine whether this will continue, consider Kelce's PPG on vertical passes, which ranks 13th among tight ends.
That's not a terrific ranking, but it's still significantly higher than his overall ranking,
implying that it won't take much progress here to return this number to its regular upper-tier shape.
Following the Week 2 games, this series answers several fantasy football questions (typically looking ahead and 'what does this mean?').
It includes a number of methods, many of which are discussed here and in further depth at www.TheFootballScientist.com.
Outside of KC's own stats, all advanced metrics come from TruMedia/PFF or Stathead, unless otherwise specified.
