NFL Writer Matt De Lima of 'The Big Lead' made a list of the 5 most overrated NFL players in 2026. He included Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce on the list, citing a slight decline in production.
"Kelce is still discussed as the standard at the position. Maybe a few years ago, that was the case. The 2025 numbers place him in the middle of the pack. wrote De Lima, "Kansas City rewarded the resume anyway, re-signing him for more than $54 million over three years after he had considered retirement. The Hall of Fame case is on lock. The week-to-week impact looks closer to a complementary piece than a centerpiece."
Kelce finished last season with 78 catches for 851 yards and five touchdowns. He was slowed production-wise in the final weeks due to Patrick Mahomes' injury and the need to adjust to multiple quarterbacks.
The future Pro Football Hall of Famer enters 2026 third all-time behind Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten, and 2,126 yards behind Gonzalez for the most for a tight end in league history, with only 45 behind Witten in second place. The expectation is that 2026 will be his final season in the league.
