The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding TE Travis Kelce.
Is Travis Kelce Playing in Week 13?
Kelce is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play on Friday.
We’ll continue to monitor the Chiefs’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Travis Kelce in Week 13?
For the fourth time in five games, Travis Kelce vacuumed in at least eight targets, and he paid off for fantasy managers with 12.2 PPR points. Was it annoying that, for a second consecutive week, Noah Gray caught a pair of touchdowns? It was, but in terms of projecting things forward, the involvement of the backup TE isn’t impacting my ranking of Kelce in a significant way.
I was encouraged that the Chiefs drew up a few screens for their veteran, easy-button targets that rack up PPR points. I don’t think Kelce is a threat to lead tight ends in scoring the rest of the way, but he’s a safe bet to return top-12 production, which holds value at a volatile position.
