Kelce saw surprisingly limited target volume given that the Chiefs were playing from behind for the entire game. However, he still turned in one of his better performances of the season thanks to long gains of 27, 23 and 21 yards. After combining to record only 116 yards across three games from Weeks 8-11, Kelce has now topped 80 receiving yards in consecutive contests heading into a Week 14 showdown against Buffalo.

Kelce saw surprisingly limited target volume given that the Chiefs were playing from behind for the entire game. However, he still turned in one of his better performances of the season thanks to long gains of 27, 23 and 21 yards. After combining to record only 116 yards across three games from Weeks 8-11, Kelce has now topped 80 receiving yards in consecutive contests heading into a Week 14 showdown against Buffalo.
Kelce caught all but one of his targets and finished with his most receiving yards since his monster Week 7 performance against the Chargers. Perhaps the superstar had extra motivation Sunday after a late fumble in last week's loss to Philadelphia cost his team an opportunity to make a comeback attempt against a fellow contender. Whatever the case, the end result was another solid day of production for fantasy managers, who have received 70 receptions, 732 yards and five touchdowns from the fantasy stud through 10 games. A road matchup against the Packers is on tap for Kelce and the Chiefs next Sunday.
The Dolphins defense clearly came into the game with a plan to make sure Kelce wouldn't beat them, as the superstar tight end was double- and triple-teamed on every route he ran. The 14 receiving yards was his lowest output since he was held to one catch for six yards in Week 1 of the 2018 season, but with Kansas City on its bye next week, expect Kelce to be well-rested and ready to rebound in Week 11 for a Super Bowl rematch with the Eagles.
Patrick Mahomes turned the ball over three times while failing to score a touchdown Sunday, resulting in down games for most of Kansas City's position players. Kelce still produced a useful fantasy line despite his quarterback's struggles, but it felt like a down game after the star tight end combined for 31 receptions, 370 yards and two touchdown over the previous three weeks. Kelce and the entire Chiefs offense will look to rebound as they prepare for a potential shootout against the Dolphins in London next Sunday.
