Guys, I hate to say it, but I think DJLN might be washed. Seems old and tired. Walls and walls of texts without the same energy or production. Approaches arguments like scho approaches a Buca di Beppo next to a Hooters at a strip mall in southern NJ.

Your assessment is correct. Dude in the league I've been in for 12+ years is now shopping Kelce around after owning him for a decade (3 keepers). I offered him a ransom a few years back and he declined.
Kelce will perform when that performance is needed (crunch time). [Reply]
When he caught that pass that got called back he looked like the same player he was in the past. Without watching the All-22 hard to tell if he is playing bad or not. [Reply]

You folks so often underestimate how razor thin the lines between success and failure in this league are.
You cannot go out there and load manage. Play your ass off or don't play. If you want to keep reps off him, don't activate him.
Because he's been bad thus far in the season. Not bad by his standards - bad at football. And that happens to almost everyone that makes business decisions. Even if those decisions are because "I need to stay fresh for January" vs "I need to get paid" they still yield a player that's simply not helping his team win.
Right now Kelce isn't. He needs to play at his best or don't play. 17 games at 3/4 speed won't help us at all. Gimme 10 games at full speed if you want to keep his reps down but what we've gotten the last two weeks is...disconcerting.
Bottom line Taylor is draining him of all of his juice And he just doesn’t have any left for the game [Reply]

Today marks the first game since September 2018 where Travis Kelce does not record at least 3 catches. It snaps a streak of 114 straight games, the longest streak by any player in NFL history. It dates back to Patrick Mahomes' second career start. @KCTV5#ChiefsKingdompic.twitter.com/4orUZJzQDI

I just think they covered him well and that interception was because Mahomes tried to force it to Kelce. I'm sure part of the Bengals game plan is to keep 87 from getting the ball. [Reply]

Mahomes was looking off another DB to get Kelce open. Just so happens that the DB he couldn't see knew exactly where the ball was going.
It's possible that Kelce is having a bad decline, but it's also equally possible that both the Ravens and the Bengals know how dangerous he is and made a concerted effort to make it impossible to throw to him. [Reply]

Absolutely. People are worried way too early with Kelce I think [Reply]
One thing important to remember is that Kelce was dominating elite competition in the playoffs 7 months ago. If this really is the year he drops off I am at peace with that, but that seems like an unrealistically sharp drop off. [Reply]

Should we be worried?
No, but you should probably put him on ignore until the post season. [Reply]
