SUMMARY
Tight End Rank: #37   
Overall: #251

Boss didn't quite have a career season, but a similar season to his best to date. He had 500-plus yards for the second straight season and caught 35 passes, giving him at least 33 receptions three straight seasons. In the last three years, Boss averages 37 receptions for 494 yards and five touchdowns. His new team, the Raiders, uses the tight end a little more than his old team (Giants) but don't expect a huge spike in production. Boss will be the top tight end in the Raiders' offense. Boss also is a steady blocker, which gets him plenty of playing time. Boss is a good athlete that can make the tough catch in traffic. He also has pretty good speed and leaping ability, making him a good red-zone target.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Boss has turned into a solid spot starter at tight end. He isn't an elite option, but can do well in spurts. He has potential, especially in the red zone. His numbers are very similar the last few seasons, so you can pretty much expect 35 receptions for about 500 yards and five touchdowns. You could do worse than Boss, but could also probably do better.

Kansas City Chiefs TE Kevin Boss said he is excited to join the team and work with fellow TE Tony Moeaki. 'I think it will be fun to play with him. Maybe the success that the Patriots have had with a couple of their tight ends, I think that's something we can do here,' Boss said. While Boss may like to see he and Moeaki approach numbers the Patriots' tight ends posted last year, the Chiefs won't be asking for that out of their pair. The Chiefs are trying to build more around their running game. Boss said he spoke with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and was sold on what the Chiefs are doing. 'I'm comfortable doing a lot of different things. I played a lot of different roles with New York and with Oakland,' Boss added.

Fantasy Impact: Tony Moeaki is the tight end to own in Kansas City but Boss will get some work but probably not enough to help fantasy teams.

Oakland Raiders TE Kevin Boss had five receptions for 43 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. The touchdown was the first for Boss in seven games dating back to Week 6.
Fantasy Impact: Boss has been getting more work with Carson Palmer at quarterback. He still isn't a great fantasy play but worth a spot start or two.

The Oakland Raiders might use more sets involving both tight ends in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears with a shortage of wideouts. TE Brandon Myers and Kevin Boss might be used more.
Fantasy Impact: The Raiders are really thin at receiver so using the tight ends more makes sense. Boss might be worth a look as a low-end No. 1 tight end in Week 12. He has some upside, especially with Carson Palmer looking his way more.
