The 2024 NFL season is still months away but planning for your Fantasy Football teams starts now. At Fantasy Football Today, we’ve already been drafting a lot in the last few months with even more mock drafts taking place since the conclusion of the 2024 NFL Draft. We’ve hit all different formats from Superflex to half-PPR and through it all I’ve seen a lot of different trends in ADP (average draft position) unfold.

Of course, he responded by returning his least productive season in the last four years, but let’s unpack that a little. First of all, Kelce played through an injury and played fewer snaps. After finishing with the fourth-most snaps played in 2022, he finished with just the 14th-most in 2023 — 150 fewer snaps. Despite this, he finished with the second-most Fantasy points per game at tight end behind Sam LaPorta. He also scored just five touchdowns, averaging 10.7 touchdowns per season over his last three. Nothing is more due for regression in Fantasy Football than touchdowns scored. Despite playing 200+ snaps fewer than LaPorta, Kelce led the NFL in first-down receptions. He remains the go-to target…
