BALLER MOVE: Start In All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: While everyone seems to be cracking jokes about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, fantasy managers are serious about Kelce leading them to a fantasy championship. Kelce is of course locked into every single fantasy lineup every week... even if Swift is on tour.
Is there a Swift effect? Maybe. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's dismal 14-yard Week 9 performance in Frankfurt allowed T.J. Hockenson's enormous Week 10 effort to pass him up as fantasy's overall TE1 heading into Week 11's home tilt with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Does it really matter? Absolutely not. The eight-time Pro Bowler deserves a pass after treating managers very well over the prior seven dates, netting at least 11.8 full-PPR points in each affair. Kelce saw negative air yards (-3) in his last time out, as Miami elected to take him out of the game and force other receivers to beat them.
Perhaps fantasy's biggest no-brainer on a weekly basis, the 34-year-old superstar ranks first among TEs in yards per route run (2.55), fantasy points per route run (0.60), and full-PPR fantasy points per game (17.6). Logan Thomas and Jake Ferguson slammed Philly's defense for 6/44/1 and 7/91/1 receiving lines respectively in their last two games. Lock Kelce into your weekly lineups.
