NFL 2018: Top 12 0.5 PPR NFL Fantasy Tight Ends

#2 Travis Kelce – Kansas City Chiefs – 2017 total = 192

Wild Card Round - Tennessee Titans v Kansas City Chiefs

Kelce could easily be number 1 on this list this season as he receives so much volume in the Kansas City passing game.

He caught 83 passes, which was the most out of all TEs, and also caught 8 touchdowns in the process. His 1038 receiving yards were second on the team, only behind speedster Tyreek Hill.

This season, however, there are a few changes for the Chiefs on offense. Sophomore QB Pat Mahomes will be taking over under center.

Mahomes has a cannon of an arm and great things are expected from him. We will have to wait and see if he can strike up the same relationship with Kelce as he had with his predecessor, Alex Smith.

Another change is a Running Back coach, Eric Bieniemy, being promoted to the Offensive Coordinator role, filling in for the departed Matt Nagy.

Will this mean the Chiefs turn to a more run-heavy attack to help settle in their young QB? It’s a possibility, but Head Coach Andy Reid has never favored a run-first approach in all his years in coaching, so I think Kelce’s volume is safe.

Expect to see him being taken as high as the 3rd round in some 12 team fantasy drafts.
