Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs

Season: 3rd
ADP: 52nd (TE4)

Finishing the season as the eighth-ranked tight end in fantasy in what amounted as his redshirt rookie season, our own projections here at numberFire have Travis Kelce ranked as the third best tight end for next season.

And as I wrote just a few days ago, the man they call "Zeus" offers more than enough upside to challenge Jimmy Graham for his top-two spot atop the tight end hierarchy.

This is because, despite leading his team with 67 receptions, 862 yards, and 5 touchdowns last season, he did this in limited playing time (playing on just 66.6% of the team's offensive snaps) as he recovered from microfracture surgery that cost him his entire rookie year.

Now with the release of last season's snap count leader at tight end, Anthony Fasano, and a clean bill of health going into training camp, the sky is the limit for Kelce in 2015.
