The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Travis Kelce.
Is Travis Kelce Playing in Week 15?
Kelce is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Kelce in Week 15?
This is shaping up to be an awfully sad ending to a great career.
Travis Kelce made just one catch on Sunday night (his first single catch performance of the season), and his drops have a weird way of being magnified by him essentially handing the other team the ball.
The future Hall of Famer has under 50 yards in three straight games and no more than six targets in four of his past five. The connection with Patrick Mahomes hasn’t been the same all season long, and with hope for this season fading, it’s fair to ask if we have already seen our last highly productive Kelce game.
My instinct on that front would be “no”, and he still finished Week 14 second on the Chiefs in targets: he simply did nothing with them. He scored against these Chargers in Brazil back in Week 1, and if he can do so again, he’s likely to find himself inside the top 10 for the week.
That’s a bit optimistic for me, but I do think he remains above the streaming tier: you just grin-and-bear it, hoping that he can cash in a high-value look at Kansas City trees to hang onto their playoff hopes.
