The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. 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 11?
Update: Here to make sure Kelce is actually playing this week? Well, yes, he is. However, in the first half of the team’s game against the Bills, the superstar tight end had absolutely zero catches. Buffalo has done all they can to remove Kelce from the game.
Kelce is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
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 11?
Travis Kelce has seen at least a dozen targets in three straight games, the first player 35 or older to do that since Terrell Owens in 2010 (five straight). The usage was no mistake — Kelce caught a two-yard score at the end of the first half and was responsible for six of Patrick Mahomes’ first 16 completions.
This Chiefs team defies logic across the board, and Kelce is a part of that. We were ready to write him off for the regular season, but this offense is built around Mahomes’ ability to move the chains. That style, given the roster as it sits, means that Kelce is a threat to lead the position in opportunities every single week.
We are looking at a Tier 1 tight end. Maybe he’s not a tier unto himself like years past, but Father Time is taking his time in knocking on Kelce’s door. I see no reason to bet against that moving forward for the remainder of this season.
