STM Take

Kelce at STTM #7 tier 2 in 2025 (down from his five-year run at STTM #1 or #2) reflects the late-career decline at age 32. The 24.1 PPR Week 11 ceiling shows the talent lives, but the 1.6 (Wk 16) and 1.8 (Wk 14) PPR weeks reflect a player no longer commanding every snap of the offense. Three Super Bowl rings make him a first-ballot Hall of Famer regardless of where the rank sits.

Kelce was born in Westlake, Ohio, played at Cincinnati, and Kansas City took him 63rd overall in the 2013 NFL Draft. He has won three Super Bowls with the Chiefs, made ten Pro Bowls, earned four first-team All-Pro nods, holds the NFL record for receiving yards by a tight end in a season (1,416 in 2020), and is the all-time leader in career receptions and receiving yards among tight ends.

Strengths

  • All-time TE leader in career receptions and receiving yards; the resume is the most decorated at the position in NFL history.
  • 10-time Pro Bowler and 4-time first-team All-Pro; the career tier is the all-time elite.

Concerns

  • Drop from STTM #1 tier 1 in 2021 to #7 tier 2 in 2025; the trajectory is the natural age-32 decline.
  • Recent game log includes multiple sub-5 PPR weeks; the floor games come more often now.

What to watch: Whether Kelce retires after 2026 or plays one more season; the career is at the wind-down phase.
