Travis Kelce Should Remain Heavily Involved In Week 6

Saturday, October 11, 2:07 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Kelce had his best game of the season in Week 5, catching seven passes for 61 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kelce's seven catches were a season-high, and his 61 receiving yards matched his season-high set in Week 2. Kelce also found the endzone for the first time since Week 1. His production has trended back up since his 26-yard performance in Week 3, and fantasy managers hope he can continue this momentum into Sunday night against Detroit. The Lions have the highest-powered offense in the league, and the Chiefs will be without Rashee Rice for another week, so Kelce should be heavily involved in the short to intermediate areas of the field. Kelce has been the safety blanket for Patrick Mahomes for many years, and he should continue playing that role in a game where the Chiefs will need to score often. Kelce is ranked TE9 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a TE1 in what could be the highest-scoring game of the week.

Mike Gesicki Won't Return in Week 6

Sunday, October 12, 5:49 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (left pectoral) exited during the first half of Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Green Bay Packers. He has been ruled out for the remainder of the game. Gesicki had not yet been targeted at the time of his departure, so he finishes Week 6 without any notable statistics. Cincinnati should be able to overcome his injury thanks to their significant tight end depth, including Noah Fant, Drew Sample, and Tanner Hudson. Those three tight ends combined for four catches in the first half against Green Bay.
