The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Denver Broncos in Week 17. 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 17?
Kelce is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Chiefs’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Kelce in Week 17?
I could tell you that Travis Kelce has a touchdown in two straight Broncos games or that the future Hall of Famer has earned at least nine looks in six straight against the divisional rival, but does it matter?
This offense is broken, and the future is uncertain for the tight end at best. He turned four targets into six yards last week in Tennessee and has eclipsed 45 receiving yards just once over the past month.
If you want to build up the narrative of him going out with a bang, go nuts. From a numbers and trends standpoint, there’s little to suggest that anyone from this offense is going to be viable this week.
Brenton Strange, Hunter Henry, Darren Waller, etc.
There is someone on your waiver wire with a more appealing Week 17 outlook than Kelce.
