Travis Kelce Injury Update
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) will make his 2023 season debut in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday. Kelce suffered a hyperextended knee in last Tuesday's practice and was held out of the Week 1 loss to the Detroit Lions last Thursday night as a precaution. He's been limited in practices this week, but apparently he showed the coaching staff enough to gain clearance to play this weekend as the defending Super Bowl champions look to get into the win column for the first time.
The 33-year-old could have some limitations in terms of his snap count coming off his knee injury, but now that he's active, his fantasy managers can lock the All-Pro tight end into a starting lineup spot for Week 2.
Mark Andrews Injury Update
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (quadriceps) was listed as questionable for Week 2 against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on the team's final injury report for Week 2, but the good news is that he was upgraded to a full practice participant on Friday. The Ravens held the Pro Bowl tight end out of their Week 1 win over the Houston Texans, but it's looking more likely that he'll make his 2023 debut this weekend on the road in Cincinnati.
Fantasy managers will know right away whether the 28-year-old is active, too, as the Ravens play in the early slot this Sunday. If Andrews is active, fantasy managers should lock him into their starting lineups as one of quarterback Lamar Jackson's favorite targets through the air.
