Travis Kelce Won't Play In Week 18
11 months agoKansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (coach's decision) has been ruled out for Week 18 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Kelce is healthy, but given that the Chiefs have already clinched first place in the AFC West, there's no reason to risk the health of their star veteran. Kelce finishes the year with 984 receiving yards, which is the first time since 2015 that he didn't eclipse the 1,000-yard threshold. This news also means that Kelce won't finish as the overall TE1 in fantasy football; it's just the second time he has fallen short of that mark since 2015. Expect Noah Gray to start for Kansas City, ranking as a mid-range TE2 in fantasy football while catching passes from Blaine Gabbert.
