Even with low projections and minimal stats over his recent games, Noah Gray may surprise and score against the Eagles.

In his fourth season with the Chiefs, Gray set career highs in catches (40), receiving yards (437), touchdowns (5), and targets (49). Kansas City had him on the field for 57.0% of their plays. His ceiling was four catches (six times) while shining in back-to-back games (4/23/2 and 4/66/2) midseason. He gained over 55 yards in three matchups. Over his last five games, Gray only has six catches for 30 yards.

Here are the projections for Gray in the Super Bowl:

  • Two catches for 20 yards with a 25% chance of scoring
  • 5.46 fantasy point in PPR formats

The Eagles allowed a league-low 591 yards to tight ends with 68 catches and five touchdowns on 103 targets. They gained 8.7 yards per catch with a 66.0% catch rate. Thirteen opponents finished with 13 catches or fewer in the regular season. Philadelphia struggled against the tight end in five games (CIN – 9/105, WAS – 8/64/1, BAL – 11/105/2, WAS – 14/138, and LAR – 9/63/1). Only one tight end gained over 75 yards (Zack Ertz – 11/104).

Top other games:

·        Mark Andrew (6/67/1)

·        Tyler Higbee (7/54/1)

·        Zach Ertz (6/47/1)

·        Mike Gesicki (7/73)

Kansas City’s tight ends had 143 catches (2nd) for 1,323 yards (3rd) and seven touchdowns on 190 targets (2nd) this season, suggesting a tight end score in the Super Bowl.

With 20+ years of experience in the high-stakes fantasy market, I aim to research and compete at the highest level in baseball and football each season. I've contributed as a writer/analyst for Sports Draft Daily, ScoutPro, Scout Fantasy, Fulltime Fantasy, FFToolbox, and Sports Illustrated Fantasy. I'm honored to be in the National Fantasy Baseball Championship Hall of Fame. My drafting philosophy is risk-averse yet open to betting on potential game-changers. I approach player selection with a neutral perspective, acknowledging that fantasy sports are inherently unpredictable due to injuries, performance dips, and managerial decisions. My work focuses on these main areas: - Season-long fantasy baseball and football - BestBall Baseball and Football Events - Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS): DraftKings, FanDuel, and Underdog - Long Shot Player Prop Parlays for NFL I participate in various leagues and contests, including NFBC, NFFC, RTSports, FFPC, DraftKings, Underdog Fantasy, FanDuel, and FFWC, with the goal of leveraging my extensive experience and research for success in each game format. A fantasy follower can expect in-depth profiles of NFL and MLB players, along with season-long and weekly projections for each fantasy football season. In addition, I have many strategy articles to help develop fantasy players' learning curves.
