5 days until the NFL season begins!

While neither Travis Kelce nor Zach Ertz quite reached the 300 FP club, they did become just the fourth and fifth TEs to score 275+ PPR points in a single season, joining Todd Christensen (1983), Gronk (2011), and Jimmy Graham (2011, 2013).

[Fantasy Sports Now @FntsySprtsNow]
