Storylines

Travis Kelce grades out as KC's best

Travis Kelce (TE) is at 75 out of 100 through week 8 of 2026. That score compares him with everyone else at his position — an 84 would mean better than 84% of them — and it comes from charted play, not raw totals.

Where They Stand

Overall: Grade 63, 6th of 32 — in the top third.

Strengths: quarterbacks (2nd), tight ends (3rd) and offense (4th).

Coaching: Andy Reid beats what his rosters' grades say he should by 2.1 points a game, over 443 games, 6th in the league.

Offense — better on the field: On the field, the offense has played better than 89% of the league, ahead of a player grade of 61 out of 100.

This season: 5-1. Last time out, they lost to Seattle Seahawks 3-20.

Since preseason: Up 4.4 points since the preseason, mostly because its offense played better than before (better than 64% of the league, now better than 89%) and its defense players graded up (George Karlaftis +18 and Mansoor Delane +9). Losing doesn't move the grade by itself. The grade is how well the players and each side of the ball played, and 6 games still counts for less than last season.

Written from this club's own numbers: its grade, the offense, defense, special teams and coach that make it up, its last games, its division, and its depth chart. Which facts show up depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. The site builds the sentences from those numbers. A chatbot does not write them.
