Travis Kelce Could Be More Involved Against Los Angeles

Friday, October 16, 12:17 PM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Los Angeles Chargers at home in Week 6. Kelce should benefit from the team's bye last week, offering the veteran tight end an opportunity to recover before taking on a division rival. The Chargers are winless heading into the weekend and march into Arrowhead as heavy underdogs. Kelce should also step into a larger role on offense with Rashee Rice ruled out with a hamstring injury. None of the Kansas City pass receivers outside of Rice and Tyquan Thornton have stepped up this season, making Kelce the de-facto top option in the passing game once again. Kelce is ranked TE8 in our RotoBaller Week 6 PPR rankings, making him a solid TE1 option. Fantasy managers should feel confident riding with Kelce this weekend.

Jake Ferguson A Risky Fantasy Option Amid Poor Production

Saturday, October 17, 12:45 AM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has failed to be a big part of his team's efforts to move the ball down the field in the passing game this season. Though he's caught three touchdowns in five games this season, he's made a series of crucial mistakes, such as losing a key fumble in Week 3 and failing to catch a close losses, pass that ended up as an interception in Week 5. Both those games ended up being one-score losses. It would probably serve Dallas well to ease back on Ferguson's targets and start getting the ball to WR Ryan Flournoy more -- he's shown excellent flashes of talent and his film is impressive. Ferguson has a lot of mistakes to clean up and not a lot of upside, as he's averaging just 20.4 receiving yards per game. The opposing Green Bay Packers, who Dallas will face in Week 6, are bottom-10 in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season. Fantasy managers outside of dynasty leagues may want to look elsewhere for a starting TE this week.
