Travis Kelce Is Absolutely Worth A Top 5 Pick In Your Fantasy Football Draft

Travis Kelce is the most reliable weapon in fantasy football. He's had seven straight 1,000+ yard seasons and is coming off a career-bests in targets (152), catches (110), and Touchdowns (12). With Tyreek Hill in Miami, he is the unquestioned #1 option in the most explosive offense in football. Those targets ranked him 6th in the NFL, regardless of position. He's remarkably consistent too, finishing TE2 or better in fantasy every year since 2016. Not only that, he plays a position that is wildly inconsistent where fantasy managers often play guys that have 2 catches for 25 yards with 0 TDs. Starting Kelce gives you a legitimate six point leg up on your opponent weekly, so why would you not invest a first round pick in this guy?!?!

The main argument against him is that he's going to be 34 in October, but the guy is showing no signs of slowing down and despite all the Justyn Ross hype, the Chiefs don't have a big time #1 WR to take Patrick Mahomes attention away from Travis Kelce. So I foresee another big year for him and yet another TE1 finish.
