2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kelly has been a longtime plus-starter for the Colts since being selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, and he now takes his talents at center to Minnesota. A neck injury and knee scope limited Kelly to just 10 starts with Indy last season, but the 32-year-old begins his Vikings tenure at full health. He represents an upgrade at C over Garrett Bradbury for new starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Read Past Outlooks

Toe
September 10, 2025
Kelly was estimated as a non-participant in practice Wednesday due to a toe issue.
ANALYSIS
Kelly logged all 56 of the Vikings' offensive snaps versus Chicago on Monday but hurt his toe in the process. His participation level (or lack thereof) throughout the rest of the week should provide more insight on whether he'll be able to suit up Sunday against the Falcons. If Kelly can't play in that game, Michael Jurgens may be asked to start at center.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could stay in division
CIndianapolis Colts
January 21, 2025
The Texans could be interested in Kelly if he doesn't re-sign with the Colts this offseason, Ben Solak of ESPN suggests.
ANALYSIS
Kelly is a pending free agent and has stated his preference to remain with the Colts. However, the veteran center could be out of the team's price range, in which case he will be a coveted option on the open market. The Texans suffered a number of injuries that hurt their offensive line play in 2024, something the team will likely address this offseason.
