2020 Fantasy Outlook
After two seasons in Kansas City, Yelder has just three catches on four targets for 50 yards to show for it. He spent the 2019 campaign buried behind both Travis Kelce and Blake Bell on the Chiefs' depth chart. Bell's move to Dallas briefly left Yelder as the primary backup to Kelce toward the end of March, but the front office signed Ricky Seals-Jones in early April, who will presumably displace Yelder in that role after a few relatively productive seasons at the position elsewhere. Yelder is in a fairly good spot to land a 53-man roster spot again in 2020, but it would likely take multiple injuries at the tight end spot for him to warrant a look for fantasy purposes.
