Travis Kelce enters his 14th NFL season at age 36 after re-signing with the Chiefs on a three-year deal following another retirement consideration. He posted 76 receptions for 851 yards and five receiving touchdowns in 2025 despite the team's 6-11 finish and Patrick Mahomes' late-season knee injury. Kelce remains the clear TE1 and a favored red-zone option in Andy Reid's scheme, though his target share has declined and the addition of Kenneth Walker III plus continued development of Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy could limit volume. Mahomes is expected back for Week 1, preserving the core connection, but age-related reductions in explosiveness and intermediate production point to another modest touchdown total in the low single digits.
