Chiefs TE Travis Kelce caught 7 of 9 targets for 44 yards and a TD in Week 11 vs. the Eagles. The veteran did lose a fumble in the contest, which cost fantasy managers just a little bit, but his 15.4 points were enough for Kelce to finish as the TE2 in PPR scoring on the week. Even so, it’s troubling to consider how much he’s started to dip in production of late. Kelce is averaging just 5.3 catches, 38.7 receiving yards, and 10.5 PPR points per game over the past three games. This information shouldn’t dissuade you from continuing to trust him as a TE1 every week. We are talking about Travis Kelce after all. It’s just something to be mindful of in the coming weeks.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes hit rock bottom against Denver, managing only 241 passing yards on 38 attempts. Mahomes targeted 11 different Chiefs on Sunday, with Travis Kelce again leading the way (6-58 on 9 targets). Skyy Moore dropped a would-be TD, but Mahomes also threw 2 INTs and lost 1 fumble. The star QB reportedly battled the flu, and he certainly didn’t look close to 100% in this one. Look for a bounce-back in Week 9 vs. Miami.

Travis Kelce delivered a second straight big game with his 12-179-1 receiving line in Sunday's win over the Chargers. It tied his career high in receptions, set back in 2018 against the Raiders. The yardage marked Kelce's second-largest total ever, trailing only a 2021 meeting with the Chargers. He has now caught 21 of 22 targets in two games since spraining an ankle against the Vikings. Kelce has clearly been able to shake that off and go about dominating Kansas City targets. He more than doubled Sunday's No. 2 Chiefs target (Rashee Rice, 6) and claimed 42.2% of Patrick Mahomes' passing yards.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) is officially active for tonight's game against the Broncos. It's fair to assume that he's not at 100% after spraining his ankle on Sunday, but Kelce remains a must-start in season-long leagues -- especially against this horrible Denver defense.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos. He got in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Insider Jordan Schultz reports that Kelce's ankle has "responded well" and that he is expected to play tomorrow. We'll get Kansas City's inactives around 7 pm ET. An active Kelce is a must-start.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) was officially limited in Tuesday's practice. He was spotted on the field with that right ankle heavily taped. We're tentatively expecting Kelce to play vs. the Broncos on Thursday night, but check back tomorrow to see how he's listed on the final injury report.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) will practice on Tuesday, HC Andy Reid said. That should put Kelce on track to play vs. the Broncos on Thursday night. We'll watch his status over the next couple of days.

The Chiefs listed TE Travis Kelce as not practicing Monday on their estimated practice report. The team didn't actually work out the day after beating Minnesota. But it's no surprise that Kelce wouldn't have practice on his sprained ankle. We'll watch to confirm he's ready to play Thursday night against the Broncos. Given that Kelce returned to the Vikings game, he seems likely to play. But it's no lock. If Kelce is trending toward sitting out, TE Noah Gray could be a deeper TE option.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Chiefs TE Travis Kelce suffered a low-ankle sprain in the Week 5 win over the Vikings. That conflicts with insider Jordan Schultz's initial report that it's a high-ankle sprain -- but makes more sense considering Kelce was able to return to today's game with reasonable effectiveness. We'll look for further clarification on Kelce's status. The schedule won’t do him any favors with his Chiefs taking on the Broncos on Thursday night.

Insider Jordan Schultz reports that the Chiefs believe TE Travis Kelce has a high-ankle sprain. "The medical staff has cleared him to return, so it’s up to Kelce if he plays again today," Schultz adds. Kelce indeed returned to the field for Kansas City's second possession of the second half.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce suffered an apparent lower right leg injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. It was a non-contact play. Kelce limped to the sidelines and slammed his helmet. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Kelce returned to the sidelines with his helmet on and ankle taped for the start of the second half but did not play on Kansas City's first drive of the half.

Update: The Chiefs announced that Kelce is questionable to return with an ankle injury. CBS' Tracy Wolfson reports that Kelce underwent X-rays at halftime.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce posted 6 catches on 9 targets with a team-leading 60 receiving yards in Week 4's win vs. the Jets. Unfortunately, the other Chiefs' TE Noah Gray was the one found the end zone on a 34-yard dart in the contest. Rookie Rashee Rice didn't have the biggest day on the field (3 catches, 32 yards). Still, his 5 targets were considerably more than his teammates Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, each of whom received 2 targets apiece. It'll be worth stashing Rice on benches if he's still available in your leagues. Next week, the Chiefs will take on the Vikings.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce delivered another classic performance with 7 catches on 8 targets for 69 yards and a TD in Week 3 vs. the Bears. This game was never close, as the Chiefs led 34-0 by halftime. It’s worth mentioning that rookie WR Rashee Rice also had some success on Sunday, with 5 catches on 7 targets for 59 yards. He logged 3 catches for 39 yards before the Chiefs rested most of their starting players by the end, so there’s some reason to be excited about this development. Kelce will look to further impress his new lady friend Taylor Swift in Week 4 vs. the Jets.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce made his 2023 debut in Week 2, catching 4 of 9 targets for 26 yards and 1 score. He ran only 23 routes in his return from a right knee injury – fourth most on the team. He seemed to aggravate the same knee late in this one, although he should be fine for Week 3. Sunday turns up a perfect scoring matchup vs. Chicago.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was limited in practice all week and is expected to wear a compression sleeve on that injured knee today. So Kelce probably isn’t quite back to 100% – but he remains an elite fantasy play.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (knee) is "good to go" for today's game vs. the Jaguars. Kelce is expected to wear a compression sleeve on the knee he injured a little over two weeks ago, per Schefter. But Kelce "got his legs back" during the week off. He's back to his rightful place atop the TE Rankings.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (knee) will play vs. the Jaguars this weekend, HC Andy Reid said Friday. Kelce might come with a lower floor than usual coming off the September 5 knee injury. But his ceiling remains the highest at his position, especially in a likely shootout against Jacksonville.

Update: Kelce is officially listed as questionable. We'll get Kansas City's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice. He's seemingly on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars, but we'll see how Kelce is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. We're tentatively expecting him back for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars, but check back tomorrow for another update on Kelce's progress.

NBC's Melissa Stark reported during Thursday night's season opener that the Chiefs are "optimistic" TE Travis Kelce (knee) will be ready for Week 2. Kelce worked out in the pool on Thursday morning but couldn't produce any power off that injured knee, per Stark. We'll track Kelce's progress when Kansas City gets back to work next week.
