Travis Kelce named among most overrated NFL players in 2026
Summary

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been listed as one of the most overrated NFL players for 2026, according to NFL writer Matt De Lima. Kelce's recent performance has shown a decline, finishing last season with 78 catches for 851 yards and five touchdowns. Despite a contract extension of over $54 million for three years, De Lima suggests Kelce’s impact has shifted towards a more complementary role rather than a primary one. Kelce, entering what is expected to be his final season, stands third all-time among tight ends in receiving yards, trailing only Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten.
