2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Red Raiders saw the departure of their top three receivers this offseason, which sets up a golden opportunity for Kelly. Transferring in from Washington State, where he had 61 grabs for 923 yards and eight touchdowns, Kelly can continue to build on his finish last year. In the Cougars last three games, Kelly averaged 7.7 receptions on 11.0 targets for 122.0 yards and 0.7 touchdowns. He figures to take on a sizable role in Texas Tech's aerial attack as well, taking some of the pressure off star running back Tahj Brooks. If Kelly can help unlock the passing game with QB Behren Morton, the Red Raiders could return to being one of the most fantasy-friendly offenses in all of college football. Read Past Outlooks
Out for Liberty Bowl
Kelly is out for the 2024 Liberty Bowl to prepare for the 2025 NFL Draft, Don Williams of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Texas Tech and Arkansas were scheduled to play each other on Dec. 27, when the Red Raiders will now play without Kelly. He had one last chance to log a college game before his collegiate eligibility was maximized entirely. Instead, Kelly will opt out early to prepare for the 2025 NFL Draft. The senior wideout was a proven commodity for three different colleges: Fresno State, Washington State and Texas Tech. As a Power Conference player for the latter two, he recorded a combined 150 receptions for 1,946 yards and 13 touchdowns. Perhaps all that output will be enough to get Kelly drafted.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Part of a prolific Bulldogs passing attack, Kelly stepped into a prominent role in 2021. As the second wideout behind Jalen Cropper, he was still able to record 52 catches for 778 yards and three scores. Cropper will return for 2022, but Kelly should only see improvement with another year in the Bulldogs’ system, and another year catching passes from Jake Haener. One of the best quarterbacks in the country, Haener tossed for 4,096 yards and 33 touchdowns to nine interceptions. With Haener, the Bulldogs love to air it out, which is fantastic news for both Kelly and Cropper. In 2022, Fresno State’s passing attack should remain dominant, and Kelly looks primed to feast off the spoils.
