Travis Kelce News

Travis Kelce Involved in Multi-Million Dollar Scam

Wednesday, September 16, 2:35 PM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was named in federal court on Tuesday as one of the people who were burned by Siddharth Jawahar, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison for fraud that prosecutors say sucked in more than $35 million from investors, according to TMZ. Jawahar pleaded guilty to three counts of wire fraud and was ordered to pay more than $31 million in restitution. Kelce's exact losses were not disclosed, and prosecutors made it clear that he was a victim and was not accused of any wrongdoing. This unfortunate off-the-field news for the 36-year-old 11-time Pro Bowler and four-time first-team All-Pro should have no effect on his on-field production going forward in what could be the final year of his NFL career. The former third-rounder in 2013 from Cincinnati got off to a solid start in the Week 1 season-opening win over the division-rival Denver Broncos on Monday night, catching three of five targets for 71 yards. Consider him a low-end TE1 going into KC's Week 2 tilt against the Indianapolis Colts.

Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice Finds The End Zone Agaisnt Denver

Monday, September 14, 7:45 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice caught two passes for 19 yards and a touchdown in the 31-10 win over the Denver Broncos. It was hardly the WR1 performance we've grown accustomed to seeing from Rice, but the dynamic of the Chiefs offense has changed, and Rice himself is returning from an injury. Kansas City ran the ball 38 times compared to 27 pass attempts from Patrick Mahomes. The acquisition of running back Kenneth Walker appears to have shifted the offensive game plan for Kansas City, which could affect Rice's upside moving forward. The fact that the Chiefs were able to have the offensive performance they did against the Broncos defense could mean that leaning run-heavy is a viable option for the team. Despite finding pay dirt, Rice also finished tied for fourth on the team in targets. The 26-year-old will look to bounce back in Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts. The Indianapolis defense just allowed 41 points to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, so it may not be a tough matchup for Rice. Fantasy managers should feel cautiously optimistic about placing Rice back into their lineups for Week 2.
