Week 14 at New England Patriots
Travis Kelce led the Chiefs in receiving last week finishing 5-90 on a team-high nine targets. Kelce has been extremely reliable this season with 80+ receiving yards in half of his games. He hasn't been a huge touchdown threat, but he has scored in three of his last five starts. He does get a tough matchup this week against the Patriots, who have allowed the fourth-fewest receiving yards to tight ends (40.1 ypg), but they aren't exactly shutdown. Just a few weeks ago, Zach Ertz finished 9-94 against New England. Don't get cute in Week 14, trust Kelce as your TE1.
Week 13 vs. Oakland Raiders
Travis Kelce was the only Chiefs player to really have success in Week 11, finishing 7-92-1 on 10 targets. Kelce has been extremely consistent in 2019, having just one game below 50 receiving yards (and even then it was 44 yards). He's scored three times in his last four games and has finished with seven receptions in six games this season (out of 11). He's an easy must-start TE1 this week, especially in a favorable matchup against the Raiders. Kelce went 7-107-1 the last time he played Oakland.
Week 11 at Los Angeles Chargers
Travis Kelce had a solid 7-75-1 on seven targets last week. He's had at least 50 receiving yards in every game but one this season, and in that game, he still had 44 yards. He's finished five games with seven receptions, making him a valuable PPR asset. Overall, he's been one of the rare consistent tight ends in fantasy. He hasn't topped 80 yards since Week 4, but he's still very valuable for his position. He should continue to be trusted as a TE1 this week against the Chargers.
Week 10 at Tennessee Titans
Travis Kelce had a solid 7-62 on nine targets last week. He's had at least 60 receiving yards in all but two games, and in those games, he finished with 44 and 58. The only downside to Kelce's season is he hasn't found the endzone often, scoring just twice. He gets a fine matchup this week against the Titans. You can likely expect similar numbers from Kelce this week as he's put up all season, meaning around 4-6 receptions for 60-80 yards. He should be trusted as a strong TE1 option.
Week 9 vs. Minnesota Vikings
New QB, no problem for Travis Kelce. The star tight end finished 4-63-1. This was just his second touchdown of the season, but his production has been there all year long as he's remained one of the NFL's few consistent tight ends. He gets an interesting matchup against the Vikings this week who have allowed the sixth-most receiving yards to tight ends, but have allowed no touchdowns to the position. Still, there aren't many tight ends you'd start over Kelce in fantasy. Use him as your TE1 with confidence.
Week 8 vs. Green Bay Packers
Travis Kelce had his lowest output of the season last week, finishing with just 44 receiving yards. His touchdown output is also concerning as he's only scored once in seven games this season. Despite some struggles, Kelce still remains one of the best tight end options in fantasy. And he gets a favorable matchup this week against the Packers where he should be a reliable option for backup QB Matt Moore. Kelce should be viewed as an easy TE1 in Week 8.
Week 7 at Denver Broncos
Travis Kelce had his worst game of the season last week, finishing 4-58 with no touchdown. He has just one touchdown on the season after scoring 10 times a year ago. Despite the lack of end zone production, though, he's still been one of the few consistently productive tight ends in the league. He has 50+ yards in every game and is a top-five scorer in fantasy (depending on your settings). He doesn't get a great matchup against Denver this week, but he should still be viewed as a strong TE1 option.
Week 6 vs. Houston Texans
Travis Kelce led the team with 10 targets in Week 5, but only managed to catch four passes. Thankfully he had big gains as he finished with 70 yards. It was his lowest yardage output of the season, but 70 yards is still nice production from a tight end. He faces a Texans defense that's allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season, but that doesn't concern us too much. Kelce has 70+ receiving yards in every game this season, and should be viewed as a must-start TE option.
Week 5 vs. Indianapolis Colts
Travis Kelce led the Chiefs in receptions (7) and receiving yards (85) last week as he continues to be an incredibly reliable option. He's had at least 80 receiving yards in every game this season and has three straight games with seven catches. He's already a must-start option, but to make things even better, he gets a great matchup against the Colts in Week 5. Indianapolis is allowing the third-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Keep Kelce in your starting lineup this week.
Week 4 at Detroit Lions
Travis Kelce had yet another big game, finishing 7-89 in Week 3. He's had double-digit fantasy points in PPR formats every week as he's finished with at least 80 receiving yards in every game. He technically gets a tough matchup this week as the Lions have only allowed seven receptions to the position all season, but tight end is the toughest position to gauge in points against. Zach Ertz finished 4-64 last week against Detroit, so Kelce should be fine. He's an easy must-start option at the tight end position.
