After a quiet second half of the regular season that saw the entire Chiefs offense struggle down the stretch, the Chiefs were able to right the ship in the playoffs and handle business to win their third Super Bowl in the past five years, and second title in a row. Lo and behold, the return to form for Travis Kelce was one of the primary drivers of Kansas City’s newfound offensive success in the tournament, and he now appears primed to make a triumphant run as a top fantasy TE once again in 2024.
After racking up just 387 yards and one touchdown in his final seven games of the regular season, Kelce exploded for 355 yards and three touchdowns in four playoff games to put himself back on the fantasy map for next season. After a decline in production seemed inevitable for the all-world TE next season, Kelce may have been able to quell any worries about his ability to be productive for the time being. He likely will remain out of the first round of fantasy drafts this season thanks to the stunt he pulled in the back half of 2023, but the sentiment surrounding his name has likely also been salvaged with his dominant end of season run.
