The Kansas City Chiefs will visit the Denver Broncos in Week 11. 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 11?
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 11?
Travis Kelce was effective in his only game against these Broncos last season (20.4 PPR points), but 5.3 yards per target is the part from that game that I believe is most sticky and is why I’m proceeding with caution.
It’s not a huge sample this season, but Kelce has lost more than a full yard off of his yards-per-route average when Rashee Rice is on the field (1.07) than off the field (2.08) and if the Broncos have a blueprint of sorts to slowing him down further, the floor is low.
That said, because of a high pass projection for the Chiefs this week, Kelce’s ceiling is also enticing, and let’s face it, upside at the TE position is almost impossible to turn down.
Kelce is a play for me this week with the understanding that there is risk involved. The reflex seems to be to play the future Hall of Famer without a second thought: I don’t think that’s right, but I think you’re on the right side of math this weekend.
