lod01 905 Posted November 10, 2014 I think they like having Fasano in here blocking for Charles' runs but it makes no sense not playing them both on the runs. Kelce should be out there near 100% of the time and one of the hack WR's should be standing on the sidelines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tunamelt warrior 27 Posted November 13, 2014 If you have held Kelce this far, it would be wise to ride it out, as his schedule is at it's most favorable. Andy Reid is actually keeping Kelce on the field for more and more work as well (67% of the snaps in Week 10). This is where Kelce earns his keep. Remaining schedule and defensive rank against the TE listed below....The higher the ranking, the better the matchup.Week 11---Seattle #7 Week 12---Oakland #17Week 13---Denver #3Week 14---Arizona #6Week 15---Oakland #17Week 16---Pittsburgh #13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allen almost never has a bad game. Kelce is too erratic to count on. I'm trusting the TE catching passes from Andrew Luck over the TE catching passes from Alex Smith.

Better match-up, home v. road, Fasano Q + 3rd string TE out.We don't know for sure increased snap count is going to mean more targets, but everything is trending the right way for Travis.

MattFancy 2,197 Posted November 13, 2014 Andy Reid: Kelce up to speed with whole dealSpeaking Wednesday, coach Andy Reid said Travis Kelce is now prepared for a bigger workload if Anthony Fasano (knee) is out or limited.This quote equates to porn for fantasy footballers: "At the beginning of the year, we kind of kept the package (for Kelce) smaller," Reid said. "Then we've added to it. He's really kind of up to speed with the whole deal right now." Fasano's knee contusion is not considered overly serious, but he did miss practice Wednesday. Things are shaping up for Kelce to have an expanded role against a Seahawks defense that gives up the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. If Fasano ends up inactive, Zeus will be unleashed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Each week that has gone by has crushed these hopes more, so this is pretty exciting news.I'm personally gonna go dance right now. BRB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's two-thirds of the league.What does Kelce offer that differentiates him from a FF perspective? He's low volume and has, what, 5 4 TDs? Nice but nothing to pay a premium to acquire.Tough finding a trade partner to move Travis. Dude is a great athlete and has tremendous upside. But this year he was late round flyer who turned into a low end TE1. What can you get for that? Somebody who will function as your RB/WR 4? I'd rather hold as my expensive insurance policy to JT.Depth doesn't win championships, but I've had a hard time moving Kelce despite sending out many offers.

Was just a suggestion, as personally I wouldn't start anyone over Thomas not names Graham or Gronk.I have Kelce also in a league that I own Graham, so he is wasting away on my bench as well. I figure at the very least if he does blow up, I'm not gonna be playing against him come playoff time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ilov80s 20,154 Posted November 17, 2014 On the first GL possession, they went to him on 1st or 2nd down. They went super heavy and ran play action. Kelce was one of only 2 guys that ran routes. Kelce was bracketed by 2 Seahawks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Illegal Pants Downfield 8 Posted November 17, 2014 I wouldn't overreact to the box score results -- Kelce led the Chiefs in targets, receptions and receiving yards. Of more concern is that the Chiefs are showing no interest in passing as long as the run game is working (and it has been). Smith threw for 108 yards and the Chiefs won. Until/unless their offensive formula stops working, Kelce will be nothing more than a tantalizingly talented TE stuck in a wasteland of a passing offense.

Faust 3,687 Posted November 18, 2014 Rotoworld:Travis Kelce played on 50-of-52 snaps (96.1 percent) in Sunday's win over the Seahawks.Kelce's previous season-high for snaps was 66.1 percent. The playing time is encouraging even if his box score (3-37-0 on five targets with one lost fumble) was discouraging on a day Alex Smith only attempted 16 passes. Kelce was asked to execute just 15 pass routes as the Chiefs took the air out of the ball. If Anthony Fasano's knee injury keeps him out Thursday night, we'd fire up Kelce again as a reasonable TE1 in the hopes a more pass-happy gameplan is needed.
