Travis Kelce Ineffective in Defeat

Sunday, October 25, 10:42 PM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce hauled in four of eight targets for 44 yards in his team's 20-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. Kelce either led or tied for the Chiefs' lead in each significant receiving category. However, he and the remainder of the pass catchers were held in check on a night when quarterback Patrick Mahomes averaged a paltry five yards per attempt and never orchestrated a red zone drive. Better days are ahead for the former third-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, but Kansas City's receiver corps is in desperate need of assistance, as their lack of depth is hurting the pass attack. We'll see if the 37-year-old can win back fantasy managers' favor with a bounce-back effort against the Denver Broncos in a divisional clash in his next outing.

Isaiah Likely News

Isaiah Likely Posts Week 7 Dud With Just 12 Receiving Yards

Sunday, October 25, 1:10 PM

New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely raised concern about his involvement in the passing attack with quarterback J.J. McCarthy under center, seeing his target volume plunge in Sunday's 27-21 overtime victory over the Houston Texans and catching just two of four targets for 12 yards without a touchdown. It was a dramatic reversal after Likely drew 36 targets over his previous three games, converting them into 24 receptions for 259 yards and three touchdowns. Both of his Week 7 catches came in the second half, and he finished with a disappointing 3.2 PPR fantasy points despite McCarthy throwing for 252 yards in his first start with New York. Malik Nabers commanded nine targets and finished with 111 receiving yards, while all four Giants touchdowns came on the ground. Likely's four targets represented his lowest total of the season. New York enters its Week 8 bye before visiting the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9.
