The experts at ESPN rank Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce as the 11th-best fantasy football tight end in Week 8 of the 2026 NFL regular season.

As expected, Kelce's production has slowly declined this year. The four-time All-Pro has yet to eclipse 100 yards since the Chiefs' Week 2 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Sunday's game presents a good opportunity for the veteran tight end to break 100 yards again.

For those considering starting Kelce this week, here are his predicted stats against the Denver Broncos on Sunday:

TE Travis Kelce predicted stats vs Broncos in Week 8

Kelce has always performed well against the Broncos. The 13-year veteran has averaged 76 yards and six receptions in 23 regular-season meetings. Sunday will mark the 24th showdown against the division rival, and I expect Kelce to remain on par with that average.

Wide receiver Rashee Rice will play his first game since his Week 4 hamstring injury and will likely split targets with Kelce. I think Kansas City's superstar tight end will finish Sunday's game with around five receptions for 80-90 yards and a touchdown.
