32-Year-Old CenterC
Minnesota Vikings
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

Logs full practice Thursday

December 4, 2025
Kelly (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Kelly hurt his hip against Seattle on Sunday and began this week with a limited practice session. However, his ability to upgrade to full participation Thursday likely means he'll be good to go for this Sunday's clash against the Commanders. If that's indeed the case, Kelly should start at center, as usual.

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.
