AFL FANTASY TAKE
Kelly will have a delayed start to his 2021 season, he was also injured early in his AFL debut game last year.
He was likely a certain starter at Round 1 this season.
With a very limited sample size at AFL level Kelly appears to be a very good prospect for Collingwood, from a fantasy perspective he should provide a solid return early in his career.

Kelly will be a downgrade target at some point this season in AFL Fantasy classic, he’s a pass in 10 team standard draft leagues.
