Summary

Tight End Rank: #37   
Overall: #251

Boss didn't do much in his first season with the Raiders. He missed a couple games because of injury but still played 14 games but had fewer than 375 yards and caught just 28 passes. These totals were his lowest since his rookie season (2007). Boss topped 50 yards just once all season. For his career, he does have two seasons with 500-plus yards and three of five seasons with at least five touchdowns. He can be a serviceable starter but not a big producer at tight end. Boss is a steady blocker, though, which gets him plenty of playing time. He is a good athlete that can make the tough catch in traffic. Boss also has pretty good speed and leaping ability, making him a good red-zone target. He'll be the top backup to Tony Moeaki this year in Kansas City, likely playing more as a blocker.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Boss took a step backwards last season and isn't likely to see a big surge in stats with a move to Kansas City. Moeaki is the tight end to own in Kansas City. Boss could get 25 or so receptions for 300 yards and a few scores, giving him little value for fantasy teams.

Notes

2012-03-16 14:53:08
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.

The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to terms with free-agent TE Kevin Boss (Raiders) on a three-year deal worth $9 million.

The Oakland Raiders cut free-agent TE Kevin Boss Tuesday, March 13.

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.

Oakland Raiders TE Kevin Boss (hip) suffered a hip pointer in the team's Week 13 game.

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.
