Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught two passes for eight yards in the 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs were handed their first loss of the season, and Kelce was the target on the game-ending interception. The veteran tight end finished the game with just four targets against the stingy Buffalo defense. Despite being the focal point of the Kansas City passing attack every week, Kelce was held in check in this contest. The 35-year-old will look to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers next week. The Panthers rank 32nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so Kelce should have his way against them. Despite this underwhelming performance, Kelce should still be considered a top-tier tight-end option for the rest of the season.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. Kelce had a strong performance against the Denver Broncos last week, totaling eight catches for 64 yards and a touchdown. The 35-year-old will now face a Buffalo defense that ranks 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Regardless of the matchup, Kelce has been the focal point of the Kansas City offense since Rashee Rice went down with an injury. The Chiefs star tight end has scored at least 20 points the last three games in a PPR format. Kelce's ability to find soft spots in the zone allows Mahomes a safety valve to move the chains easily. Kelce is ranked TE1 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings again this week. Fantasy managers should continue to start Kelce confidently.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught eight passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in the 16-14 win over the Denver Broncos. Kelce led the team in catches and targets again this week, and that trend will likely continue for the rest of the season. Kelce scored his touchdown on a two-yard strike from Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter. The Chiefs narrowly escaped with the victory in this contest on a last-second blocked field goal by the Kansas City defense. Kelce produced another high-end TE1 performance this week, and fantasy managers should excited about his matchup with the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. The Bills rank 15th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so Kelce should continue his elite production. The veteran tight end has seen immense volume every week since Rashee Rice's injury, and his fantasy production has skyrocketed ever since. Fantasy managers should continue starting Kelce as a TE1 every week.
Travis Kelce To Face Stout Denver Defense In Week 10
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Kelce is coming off a season-best performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. The veteran tight end had 14 catches on 16 targets for 100 yards in the 30-24 overtime win. Kelce will transition from facing one of the most favorable matchups to one of the toughest. The Broncos rank 10th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so Kelce will have his work cut out for him. That said, Kelce is among the few elite tight ends with a strong guaranteed workload every week. Kelce is ranked TE2 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week in a difficult matchup, but fantasy managers should feel great about starting him every week.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught 14 of 16 targets for 100 yards in the 30-24 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday. The Chiefs star tight end was undoubtedly the focal point of the passing attack, earning seven more targets than the next closest pass-catcher. Kelce improved on his season-best performance from last week with more catches, targets, and yards than any other game this season. The only negative was that the Chiefs tight end did not find the end zone and also lost a fumble, but he still reached 22 points in full-PPR formats. Kelce will look to keep the good times rolling against the Denver Broncos in Week 10. The Broncos rank 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so it will be a challenging matchup for Kelce. That said, Kelce is the alpha in the Kansas City passing attack, and his volume of targets will likely negate most defensive matchups moving forward. Kelce will continue to be ranked as a top-tier TE1 for as long as he is healthy.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. Kelce had his best game of the season last week against the Las Vegas Raiders, totaling 10 catches on 12 targets for 90 yards and one touchdown. Kelce had his most catches, targets, and receiving yards this season in that one game against the Raiders, and now he has an even better matchup. The Buccaneers rank 27th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, meaning Kelce has a top-5 matchup at the position this week. The Chiefs tight end has already established himself as the top pass catcher in the absence of Rashee Rice, and the matchup raises his ceiling even further. DeAndre Hopkins should be more involved in the Kansas City passing attack, but Kelce should still get enough volume. Kelce is ranked as TE1 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week and should be started every week.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had 10 catches for 90 yards and a touchdown in the 27-20 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. Kelce dominated in this contest, leading the Chiefs pass catchers in catches, targets, and receiving yards. The veteran tight end was the only player on either team to earn double-digit targets in this game, as Kelce finished the game with 12 targets. Despite the addition of DeAndre Hopkins, Kelce did not see a reduction in usage. Kelce will look for another strong performance in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs rank 23rd in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so it will not be a difficult matchup for Mahomes' top target. There is a chance that Kelce's volume will decrease as Hopkins becomes more integrated into the Chiefs passing attack, but Kelce should still be viewed as a set-and-forget TE1 in the foreseeable future.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Since the loss of Rashee Rice due to a knee injury, Kelce has been the benefactor of the relinquished targets. After two weeks of strong utilization in the offense, Kelce had a down game in Week 7. Kelce had four catches for 17 yards against the San Francisco 49ers. Kelce will take on the Raiders, who rank eighth in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, but he will likely receive a large percentage of the passing volume. The arrival of All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins may cap Kelce's ceiling for volume but could help his efficiency by attracting more defensive coverage. Kelce is ranked as TE3 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, so start him as a high-end TE1.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had four catches for 17 yards on five targets in the win against the San Francisco 49ers. Kelce had the second-most targets among Chiefs pass catchers in this contest but could not eclipse 20 receiving yards or find the endzone. After the departure of Rashee Rice from the wide receiver corps, Kelce was vacuuming up targets across the middle of the field, but the Niners tried to eliminate him. Kelce should be the favorite to lead the team in targets every week moving forward, which should be the case in Week 8. The Chiefs take on the Las Vegas Raiders on the road next week. Kelce saw seven targets in each game against the Raiders last season, so he is one of the safest bets for volume at the tight end position. Fantasy managers should continue to view Kelce as a TE1 despite the poor showing this week.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. Kelce and the Chiefs should be fresh coming off their Week 6 bye. The Chiefs tight end put together a strong performance in the team's last contest against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. Kelce caught nine passes for 70 yards against the Saints two weeks ago. With wide receiver Rashee Rice likely out for the remainder of the regular season, Kelce should continue to see a high-volume workload. However, the Chiefs are facing the Niners, who know them well. These two teams matched up in the 2020 Super Bowl, and Kansas City walked away with the victory in that game. The Niners know that Kelce is the biggest threat in the Kansas City passing attack, which means he could see some extra attention in this contest. The San Francisco defense is ranked 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so this matchup will not be a walk in the park. Despite the tough matchup, Kelce is seeing elite opportunity as a tight end, and he should be started with confidence every week.
