What were Travis Kelce's best fantasy seasons by total points?
The table below ranks the top ten, using the same numbers the record carries: games played, total fantasy points, the per-game figure, and the best single week of each season. All ten rows belong to the same player and the same team, which makes the ranking a straight comparison of Travis Kelce against his own career.
| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points per game | Best week | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | 17 | 314 | 18 | 36 | | 2 | Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | 16 | 311 | 19 | 28 | | 3 | Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | 16 | 295 | 18 | 39 | | 4 | Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | 17 | 263 | 15 | 41 | | 5 | Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | 16 | 254 | 16 | 25 | | 6 | Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | 16 | 234 | 15 | 26 | | 7 | Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | 16 | 221 | 14 | 33 | | 8 | Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | 17 | 219 | 13 | 36 | | 9 | Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | 17 | 195 | 11 | 25 | | 10 | Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | 17 | 191 | 11 | 24 |
How did 2022 separate from the rest of the list?
The gap between first and second is the thinnest on the page: 314 points in 2022 against 311 in 2020, separated only because 2020 ran 16 games while 2022 ran 17. On a per-game basis the order actually flips, since 2020 produced 19 fantasy points per game and 2022 produced 18. So the record crowns 2022 as the best total, while 2020 stands as the strongest rate of scoring across his seasons.
Third place is not close to either. The 2018 season scored 295 points in 16 games at 18 per game, and its best week of 39 was the second-highest single week anywhere on the list. Only 2021, with a 41-point week, beat it, even though 2021 ranks just fourth in total points at 263. That 41 stands out as the biggest single fantasy week Travis Kelce ever recorded on this record.
From fourth place down, the totals fall steadily: 263 in 2021, 254 in 2019, 234 in 2017, and 221 in 2016. Points per game on this table sit between 11 and 19, with the 2020 season at the top of that range. The middle of this list is remarkably level, with no sudden collapse between adjacent seasons anywhere between fourth and seventh.
What do the later seasons show?
The three most recent seasons on the list occupy the bottom three spots: 219 points in 2023, 195 in 2024, and 191 in 2025. All three ran 17 games, so the decline in totals matches a decline in rate, from 13 fantasy points per game in 2023 to 11 in both 2024 and 2025. Even so, the 2023 season posted a best week of 36, tying the 2022 season for the second-best single week of his career and matching the top season on the list.
The best-week column shows that even his lowest-scoring seasons still contained games near his career standard. The 2024 season reached 25 in its best week and 2025 reached 24, numbers that sit alongside the 25 posted in 2019. The full range of his best weeks runs from 24 to 41, which shows how high his peak performances stayed across the entire span of the list.
What should fantasy managers take from the rankings?
Ten seasons are listed for Travis Kelce, all with the Kansas City Chiefs, spanning 2016 through 2025. The per-game column never fell below 11 in any season listed. For draft purposes, the useful comparison is his own range: the top of the list scores at 18 or 19 per game, while the bottom sits at 11, so the difference between peak Travis Kelce and late-career Travis Kelce is the difference between the best tight end season on record and a still-startable weekly option.
