- Noah Gray: 2026 fantasy football projection for Chiefs' star TE
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray is often overshadowed by his All-Pro running mate Travis Kelce, but his contributions to the team's offense shouldn't be overlooked.
While Kelce is the topic of most headlines, Gray has been a consistent contributor to Kansas City's offense for years and could be an ideal target for fantasy football managers who need a backup tight end in deep leagues.

Patrick Mahomes will be in constant need of a safety valve as he returns to the field after sustaining a serious knee injury last season. If Travis Kelce slows down a bit or needs to miss time due to injury next season, Gray could prove to be a wildly undervalued fantasy asset.
