Take a look at how ESPN's experts expect Kansas City Chiefs TE Noah Gray to perform in fantasy football next season.

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.

Take a look at how ESPN's fantasy football experts expect Gray to perform in 2026:

Gray was targeted 37 times last season and managed to haul in 21 receptions for 178 yards but failed to score a touchdown.

According to ESPN's fantasy football experts, Gray is projected to record 26 receptions for 262 yards and one receiving touchdown in 2026. These numbers would net Gray a total of 60.56 fantasy points scored.

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.
