Ed Kelce has a message for Travis Kelce’s critics.

Kelce, 74, took to social media to praise his youngest son’s play this season.

“If anyone asks how well Travis is playing, through Week 10 he leads all tight ends in total yards,” Kelce posted on Instagram.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was the NFL league leader among tight ends in total yards through Week 10, but fell to second place after Week 12. Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride leads all tight ends in both receptions (80) and yards (797).

Kelce ranks second in the NFL among tight ends with 674 yards, with Indianapolis Colts rookie Tyler Warren right behind him with 662 yards. The 36-year-old has resurgent for the Chiefs this season, as he has 54 receptions and four touchdowns to go along with his 674 yards.

The 10-time Pro Bowler already has more touchdowns than last season and, despite his lower athleticism, has been a reliable target for Patrick Mahomes.

The four-time All-Pro quickly quashed any retirement rumors last season, as shortly after the team’s crushing Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, he announced his return. Last week, Kelce said he would let the Chiefs know of his intentions to play in 2026 before NFL free agency begins in March 2026 to give the team enough time to plan its offseason.

Kelce had four receptions for 43 yards in the Chiefs’ 23-20 victory over the Colts on Sunday. The Chiefs improved to 6-5 with the win, but remain out of the playoff picture.

The Chiefs need to get hot down the stretch if they want to make the playoffs, let alone win the division.

Their next game will be pivotal as they take on the Dallas Cowboys (5-5-1) on Thanksgiving Day at 4:30 p.m. ET.
