Kelce is confident he'll be the Chiefs' No. 1 tight end this season, NFL.com reports. "I come in and take the role, it's as simple as that," Kelce said. "It's not like it's a hidden secret or anything. I'm probably the most comfortable in the offense for being on the field for an entire year."
Kelce enjoyed a mini-breakout season in 2014, bringing in 67 passes for 862 yards and five touchdowns while playing alongside Anthony Fasano. However, Kelce played just two-thirds of the team's snaps. That number figures to skyrocket this season with Fasano moving on to Tennessee, making Kelce the Chiefs' clear No. 1 tight end and possible No. 1 receiving option, with new addition Jeremy Maclin expected provide the stiffest competition for targets.
I have him and ertz as my TEs next year, really hoping one breaks out as they're both expected to. I've got a lot of faith in kelce actually doing so, I wouldn't doubt that rotowire report.

An additional 33% more snaps would be nice, but that isn't quite a "skyrocket"
