No. 18 Travis Kelce:
“Having come second a season ago, Travis Kelce led the league in receiving yardage at the tight end position this season. He topped 1,000 yards for the fourth consecutive season and was once again one of the most important parts of the best offense in the league. Kelce broke 15 tackles, the second-most in the league at the position, and he was a particularly key factor in the team’s playoff comeback against the Texans where he caught 10 of 12 targets for 134 yards and three scores. In total this season, he caught 76.3% of the passes thrown his way.”
George Kittle (No. 1) had eight catches for 71 yards and no touchdowns in the postseason. Travis Kelce (No. 15) in the postseason had 19 catches for 207 yards and four touchdowns. I know the rankings take into account more than the postseason, but I feel like Kelce proved himself the better tight end to Kittle and should be ranked much higher. If anything he provided enough evidence to dethrone Kittle from the top spot.
