Pats sign Kelly

News: Hoping to fortify their interior defensive line alongside perennial Pro Bowl tackle Vince Wilfork, the Patriots have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with former Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly, NFL.com reported. Kelly, a nine-year veteran, was waived by the Raiders in late-March in a cost-cutting move. The former Mississippi State lineman was set to carry a cap hit of $6.5 million for the 2013 season before his release. After recording 14.5 sacks from 2010 to 2011, Kelly's sack total dipped to 1.0 last season. Prior to the subpar year in 2012, Kelly had a pair of stellar seasons in Oakland. Kelly, who was used at defensive end early in his career, is a versatile lineman that can be utilized in several different positions along a front four. Before a 2005 meeting with the Raiders, Bill Belichick compared Kelly favorably with Howie Long.
Analysis: Kelly has minimal Fantasy value as an interior defensive lineman. Ignore him in all IDP leagues on Draft Day.

Kelly trudging through slow start

News: Oakland defensive lineman Tommy Kelly notched just three tackles during the Raiders' 37-6 loss at Denver in Week 4. Kelly, who has tallied 40-plus tackles the past four years, has now amassed just four stops the past two games and 12 total on the season.
Analysis: Kelly was the team's leader in sacks last season (7.5), but has failed to take down an opposing quarterback in his first four games of this year. The most he went last season without a sack was three games so perhaps the 325-pounder can halt his slide quickly. Fantasy owners should view him as a low-end option in IDP formats until he starts producing at the level he has before.

Kelly active for Week 16

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly has been ruled active for Week 16 against the Chiefs. He was listed as probable entering Saturday due to a toe injury.
Analysis: Kelly has five sacks in his last six games and can be considered a viable starting DL in Fantasy IDP formats. He now has 7 1/2 sacks on the year, which is a career high.

Kelly probable for Raiders

News: Oakland DL Tommy Kelly was listed as probable for Week 16 against Kansas City. He's been dealing with a toe injury.

Kelly plays, records sack

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly, who was probable for Week 15 with a toe injury, played and produced as the Raiders lost to the Lions, 28-27. Kelly had a sack and a forced fumble in the loss.
Analysis: Kelly added to his career high in sacks, and now has 7 ½ on the season. It was the second time he recorded a forced fumble in the season. He has five sacks in his last six games and can be considered a viable starting DL in Fantasy IDP formats.

Tommy Kelly

Kelly unlikely to miss time

News: Oakland DL Tommy Kelly is considered probable for Week 15 against Detroit because of a toe injury. Kelly was limited in practice throughout the past week as a result of the issue.
Analysis: Kelly added to his impressive sack total last Sunday against Green Bay and now has 6 1/2 total sacks this season. He is now one sack shy of surpassing his career high. However, he doesn't record many tackles and should be viewed as a low-end option in Fantasy IDP formats.

Tommy Kelly, DE, NE

Tommy Kelly

Kelly adds to sack total

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly was able to add to his sack total in Week 14 against the Packers. He finished with two tackles and a sack in the 46-16 loss. Kelly now has 6.5 sacks on the year.
Analysis: Kelly creates a lot of pressure up front for the Raiders and is just half a sack away from matching his career high. But since he does not rack up a ton of tackles, continue to view him as more of a low-end Fantasy DL in IDP formats at this point.

Tommy Kelly

Kelly ready to play vs. 'Fins

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly (toe) was listed as active for Week 13 at Miami. He sat out Friday's practice and had been listed as questionable.
Analysis: Kelly's production so far this year has been disappointing, but now that he is playing he can be started in deeper IDP leagues.

Tommy Kelly, DE, NE

Tommy Kelly

Kelly listed as questionable

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly is listed as questionable for Week 13 at Miami after sitting out practice Friday because of a toe injury. He was limited the rest of the week.
Analysis: Kelly has 5 1/2 sacks in 2011. Unfortunately, he is well behind his tackle pace from 2010, when he had 60 tackles. He has just 31 tackles through 11 games. If he plays Sunday, then Kelly is a low-end Fantasy DL.

11/20/2011

Tommy Kelly, DE, NE Kelly has huge game for Raiders

Tommy Kelly

Kelly has huge game for Raiders

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly, who entered the game with 3 1/2 sacks on the season, added two more Week 11 at Minnesota. But that's not even the most notable part of his performance. He also recorded his first career interception, grabbing a deflected pass in the third quarter. He added three solo tackles.
Analysis: For an interior lineman, Kelly gets his share of sacks, recording a career-high seven last season. He has a chance of exceeding that number this season. He's worth using as a No. 3 DL in Fantasy IDP leagues.

Kelly gets to Rivers

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly sacked Chargers QB Philip Rivers on Thursday night. He recorded three solo tackles in the outing, a contest that Oakland won 24-17.
Analysis: Kelly now has 27 tackles and 3.5 sacks on the year for the Raiders. Oakland has been playing well on defense and Kelly is one of the reasons why. Fantasy owners in IDP leagues should continue to view Kelly as a low-end DL option moving forward.

Tommy Kelly, DE, NE

Tommy Kelly

Kelly notches four tackles

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly was relatively quiet in Week 7 against the Chiefs. Kelly finished with just four tackles in the 28-0 defeat, two solo.
Analysis: Kelly recorded a career-high seven sacks a year ago and looks to be in store for another productive campaign. The Raiders have a stout front seven and the 29-year-old does a good job of putting pressure on opposing QBs. He has the potential to be a solid Fantasy DL but should be considered as more of a low-end option at this point.

Tommy Kelly

Kelly gets another sack

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly was credited with four tackles in Week 5 at Houston, including a sack. For Kelly, it was his second full sack of the season and first since Week 1.
Analysis: Kelly recorded a career-high seven sacks a year ago and looks to be in store for another productive campaign if he can stay healthy. Consider him a solid No. 3 DL option in IDP play.

Tommy Kelly, DE, NE

Tommy Kelly

No sacks for Kelly in Week 2

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly managed three tackles in Week 2 at Buffalo. He was held without a sack, however.
Analysis: Kelly recorded a career-high seven sacks a year ago and looks to be in store for another productive campaign if he can stay healthy. Consider him a solid No. 2 DL option in IDP play.

Kelly picks up first sack

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly had a productive game in Week 1 against the Broncos. He recorded two tackles and a sack in the 23-20 win.
Analysis: Kelly recorded a career-high seven sacks a year ago and looks to be in store for another productive campaign. The Raiders have a stout front seven and the 29-year-old does a good job of putting pressure on opposing QBs. He has the potential to be a solid Fantasy DL but should be considered as more of a low-end option at this point.

Tommy Kelly

Kelly has three tackles

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly played well in Sunday's season-finale at Kansas City in Week 17. Kelly had three tackles and finished 2010 with 59 tackles and seven sacks, which is a new career high.
Analysis: Kelly is a low-end DL in IDP leagues, but he can be a useful starter in deeper leagues and is a bye-week replacement. Don't plan on drafting Kelly in the majority of leagues in 2011.

Tommy Kelly

Four tackles for Kelly vs. Colts

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly had another decent performance in Week 16 against the Colts. He recorded four tackles, including one for a loss in the 31-26 defeat.
Analysis: Kelly has 56 tackles on the year with a career-high seven sacks. He could pad those that in the season finale so continue to view the 29-year-old as a viable Fantasy DL in IDP formats for his ability to get after the quarterback.

12/19/2010

Tommy Kelly, DE, NE

Tommy Kelly

Kelly adds half a sack vs. Broncos

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly added to his sack total in Week 15 against the Broncos. He recorded half a sack and finished with five tackles in the 39-23 loss. Kelly has a career-high seven sacks on the year.
Analysis: Kelly is having a career year and has already smashed his previous high in sacks. While his tackle total is not that impressive, continue to view Kelly as a viable Fantasy DL in IDP formats for his ability to get after the quarterback.

12/6/2010

Tommy Kelly, DE, NE Kelly with another sack

Tommy Kelly

Kelly with another sack

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly entered Week 13 against the Chargers having recorded at least a half a sack in seven of his last eight games. He continued that trend as he was able to bring down QB Philip Rivers, giving him 6.5 sacks on the year. It would be Kelly's lone tackle in the 28-13 win.
Analysis: Kelly was shaken up briefly against the Chargers on Sunday, so Fantasy owners should check back to make sure he is not seriously injured. He is having a career year and has already smashed his previous high in sacks. While his tackle total is not that impressive, continue to view Kelly as a viable Fantasy DL in IDP formats for his ability to get after the quarterback.

Kelly quiet vs Dolphins

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly was quiet in Week 12 against the Dolphins. He had six tackles in the 33-17 loss, however, only two were solo. Kelly now has 42 tackles on the season.
Analysis: Kelly was shaken up briefly against the Dolphins on Sunday, but was able to jump right back in a few plays later. He has been an excellent source for sacks this season and should continue to be viewed as a viable option in Fantasy IDP formats heading into Week 13 against the Chargers.

11/8/2010

Tommy Kelly, DE, NE Another sack for Kelly in Week 9

Tommy Kelly

Another sack for Kelly in Week 9

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly extended his sack streak in Week 9 against the Chiefs. He brought down QB Matt Cassel in the 23-20 overtime win and has recorded a sack in four straight games. Kelly recorded three tackles in total and also had a forced fumble against Kansas City.
Analysis: Kelly continues to be a force for the Raiders and tied his career mark with his sack on Sunday. It is rare for interior lineman to get after the quarterback as much as he does so Fantasy owners should continue to ride the hot hand. Kelly should be considered a viable option in Fantasy IDP formats heading into Week 11 against the Steelers.

10/31/2010

Tommy Kelly, DE, NE Sacks continue for T. Kelly

Tommy Kelly

Sacks continue for T. Kelly

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly recorded another sack Week 8 against the Seahawks, giving him 3 1/2 in four games. He finished with four tackles, including one solo.
Analysis: Kelly is on a good run with the sacks. As an interior lineman, he doesn't get many tackles, but if you're looking for some cheap sacks off the waiver wire, he certainly seems capable of providing a few. Treat him as a No. 3 DL in Fantasy IDP leagues.

Kelly collects sack vs. 49ers

News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly had a productive game against the 49ers in Week 6. He recorded six tackles, including his first full sack of the season in the 17-9 loss.
Analysis: Kelly has never produced more than 4.5 sacks in a season but has 1.5 through the first six games. He also has 24 tackles while clogging up the middle for the Raiders defense. He could become more of a Fantasy contributor with more performances like Sunday's but remains a low-end Fantasy DL in IDP formats heading into Week 7 against the Broncos.

Tommy Kelly

Kelly picks up first sack

News: Oakland DL Tommy Kelly picked up a sack of San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers in the Week 5 Raiders victory. Kelly finished with four tackles in the game.
Analysis: The sack was Kelly's first of the season and the four tackles gives him 18 on the year after five games. Kelly has not been very active for the defense up until the Week 5 game and we cannot recommend his use for Fantasy IDP leagues in Week 6 at San Francisco.

Kelly slims down for 2010

News: The Sports Xchange reports Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly had a sack during Saturday's preseason game against the Bears, equaling a regular-season total of 2009. A figure he'd rather not remember. "I had to look in the mirror at the end of the season and ask, 'Is it them, or is it you?'" Kelly said. "I can't point my finger on them ... I've just got to handle me. In the offseason, I'm going to try and get myself back in the best shape I can so they won't have nothing to say." So Kelly, who came to camp at 340 pounds in 2009, arrived at 305 pounds. "I was carrying a baby in my stomach," Kelly said. It came as a surprise to his teammates, as offensive lineman Khalif Barnes said offensive linemen were guessing he'd come in at 345 or 350. "But the guy looked great. He's looking slimmer, is still strong and has that get-off," Barnes said.
Analysis: The Raiders moved Kelly to nose tackle with Richard Seymour going from end to three-technique. So Kelly slimmed down for a role that traditionally calls for more weight. "You've got to know your own skill set," Kelly said. "It's kind of obvious after last year that I can't play with that much weight and be the best kind of player I can be. You've got to do what's best and what fits you. I'm strong enough and tough enough to play nose, so I'm not even worried about it." While it's nice Kelly is slimmer and showing he can rush the passer, it is still going to be tough for him to get a ton of sacks at defensive tackle. Kelly can definitely rack up tackles, but he is still a low-end Fantasy DL.
