Hey GVindy, this thing has been settled already.
********
Oh hey is anyone with good options in the least bit tiniest concerned about Kelce facing the 9ers?
My gut says Al Smith in a revenge game shows Kelce is the new Vern Davis. Start him.
My head tells me look at what SF just did shutting out, not even allowing a FGA to, the Philly offense, and presenting the No. 2 least FFPA defense against TEs. Sit him.

Deep league, not alot of options I'm starting him. But if ASJ type guys were available I'd go that way. The exploding burrito is basically a WR like Graham splitting out.

Most importantly I think he is Smiths favorite target. Captain checkdown loves his TEs. (see, Vernon Davis)Ilov80s said:
Agree with this 100%. Kelce is the type of player like a graham or gronk or JT in that he is basically uncoverble by most safeties and other defensive backs. The KC offense flowed through him last week vs NE. There's a reason why bowe had such a good day. With kelce garnering attn in the middle of the field it opens it up for the wrs. He is going to continue in his role and it's only getting more and more entrenched as the Chiefs coaching staff realizes that they are a far more explosive unit with him on the field. Smith already loves throwing to him. He's got great hands, great speed and athleticism for his size and he can flat out pulverize defenders in the open field.
Match up proof.

Really stoked about snagging this guy in my biggest money league, after Pitta went down.
(speaking of that, I lost Pitta in 2 leagues and Rudolph in the other) Lost all my TEs in one week.
Anyhow,don't know how you cats missed this one, I figure his nick should be........... "KELCE LATELY" .
Have you seen "Kelce Lately"?
Perfect.

I did something similar---traded Gronk straight up for Julio Jones. I'm rolling the dice the rest of the way with Kelce.

That's a really odd interpretation of the game. The offense flowed through the ground and the D sold out to stop the run. Kelce was wide open the entire game and has been all year. I'm seriously curious about his skills that make you believe he is uncoverable. Is it his numbers? Have you watched him? I've seen every snap. he's never had an ounce of attention directed at him by the opposing D. He will continue to get looks due to Smith being ultra conservative but if you believe he's some uncoverable entity you are setting yourself up for a let down.

Kelce is a must-start going forward.

I broke down and started Kelce today anyway, sorry to anyone who took my advice. He looks like Smith's blankie going forward.

I have Kelce and Cameron in 2 leagues together and started 1 in each. I'm done with Cameron now.
You were saying
Anything he does from this point on in this game is icing on the cake.
You are correct about them running the offense through the run. I misspoke. I should have said that his presence opens up the PASSING offense. That's really what I meant. It's no coincidence that bowe blew up last week vs Revis with kelce operating in the middle of the field.
Anyway, tomato, tomato, who cares I'm just enjoying my delicious 14th RS draft pick and new gronk-like dynasty te!

In some minds, being "wide open the entire game" feels a lot like being uncoverable.
I suppose defensive coordinators aren't smart enough to pay attention to him; or maybe Kelce is hiding behind the abundance of WR talent in KC.
Shutout
Footballguy
Yeah and if the Broncos targeted Julius Thomas instead of Demaryius on those 5 receptions we'd also be looking at Larry Donnell Goose egg instead of 5-165-2.
Whats your point? The fact is that they called up a pass play to Kelce at the GL and he got a td. That's a positive thing. The coaches see him as a valuable force in the red zone. They are playing a tough defense, so if this is kelce's floor I'm cool with it.

Saw this on rotoworld.
Travis Kelce caught 2-of-3 targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Kansas City's Week 5 loss to the 49ers.
Kelce scored a two-yard touchdown to cap off Kansas City's opening drive before bafflingly drawing only two more targets the rest of the afternoon. He drew half as many looks as Anthony Fasano, who was the target on Alex Smith's game-ending interception. Although Kelce's usage has been frustrating, his upside remains through the roof. His floor, meanwhile, isn't so shabby either, as he's now scored in three-straight games. Kelce will return as a TE1 following the Chiefs' Week 6 bye.
What is baffling to me is how coaches try to outsmart themselves. On what planet is Fasano better then Kelce to the extent he should be utilized more then Kelce? You dominate the Patriots partly because of Kelce, today you throw to him three times and you lose. Not saying he is why they win, but this is a guy who has the talent to help.

Started Kelce and am also a niners fan. Watching that game made me think the same thing... It's like Reid thinks he's outsmarting everyone by going to Fasano, when there's a good reason defenses don't pay attention to him.

The Chiefs are really fascinating. Admittedly it was the 9ers who shut out the Philly offense the week before, I never felt good about the matchup, but:
11 targets to Hemingway and Fasano. Kelce was 5th in targets with 3.
Amazing.
KC's last 4 drives:
06:16 3 02:10 KC 20 3 9 Punt
02:22 3 01:45 KC 45 5 19 Punt
08:42 4 01:32 KC 23 3 9 Punt
02:12 4 00:12 KC 20 2 0 Interception
The last pass to Kelce came with 3:22 left in the 3rd. It was a completion which was KC's last earned 1st down of the game.

I know it's a little crazy but Andy might make me sell Kelce high while I still can.
