Travis Kelce was limited at practice Thursday after practising in full Wednesday, managing an ankle injury he played through in Week 7 against Seattle. He is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Denver, which means check the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff.
Kelce caught 4 of 8 targets for 44 yards and 6.4 half-PPR points last week whilst playing 83 per cent of the snaps. The limited session does not guarantee he plays this week, though the pattern suggests he will likely suit up. Denver has allowed 12.9 half-PPR points a game to tight ends, the 9th most of 32.
Fantasy impact
Player by player
Travis Kelce
Over his last three games, Kelce has averaged 5.4 half-PPR points a game on 5.7 targets and 77 per cent of snaps with a 19 per cent target share. He is scoring 1.5 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts, so his role is worth more than his recent points. Over those three games his weighted opportunity rating averaged 0.45 (9th of 106 tight ends) and his air yards share averaged 24 per cent (6th of 106 tight ends).
Our models give him a Roundup Score of 67 out of 99 (TE9, 80th overall) and project 7.9 half-PPR points a game he plays. His wins above replacement at season pace of 0.69 ranks 7th of 107 tight ends. Over the full season, he is scoring 2.3 half-PPR points a game above what his usage predicts, meaning some touchdown or big-play luck that may not repeat. Monitor his Friday practice status to gauge his availability for Sunday.
What to do
• Monitor Kelce's Friday practice report and check the inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
• If Kelce is active against Denver, start him as a TE1 despite the recent dip in production.
• Have a backup tight end ready in case Kelce is ruled out closer to kickoff.
