Best Travis Kelce Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Travis Kelce Over 19.5 Yards Longest Reception (-125)
While most thought Rashee Rice’s return would negatively affect Travis Kelce, Rice’s presence has actually been a boost for the TE. Ever since Rice made his debut in Week 7, Kelce is averaging 5.2 catches for 70.6 receiving yards per game, which is big increase from the 4.7 catches and 53.5 receiving yards per game the tight end averaged in the first six games of the season without Rice.
Usage wise, Kelce is handling a 19.3% target share with Rice active vs. a 18.1% target share with Rice inactive. Furthermore, Kelce owns a 7.6 aDOT with Rice active, which is a huge upgrade from the 5.2 aDOT he saw with without his teammate.
With the higher target share and aDOT, Kelce has had a reception of at least 21 receiving yards in all but one his five starts alongside Rice this season, including a season-long 44-yard catch vs. the Raiders. On Thanksgiving Day, Kelce will be facing the Cowboys in an expected shootout, with this game presenting the highest total of Week 13 at 52.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook. Dallas is allowing the third-most yards per pass (7.3) and the 10th-highest completion percentage to tight ends this season (75.6%), and Kelce hauling in a catch of at least 20 yards in this spot is very likely.
