Will Travis Kelce Play This Week?

Travis Kelce (knee) to test injury Thursday morning

Travis Kelce will “test his knee later this morning to see how he feels,” according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. If he feels good, he’ll be on the field for pregame warmups, going through one final evaluation.

Fantasy Impact

The Chiefs have no interest in letting Kelce play if he’s injured, but it does look like there’s at least a chance he’ll suit up Thursday night. Kansas City could definitely deploy him on a snap count, but even then, he should be started in most fantasy leagues.

What the Experts are Saying

Well, crap. Our first-round draft picks are dropping like flies. Welcome to the 2023 NFL season. The injury chaos has taken over, and Week 1 isn’t even in the books. Someone, please make it stop. Turn off injuries for the remainder of the season. I’ll say that I doubt Kelce will play this week, but you never know. The Chiefs could also limit his snap count and deploy him in the red zone if he is active in Week 1. The simple fact is that if you drafted Kelce and he plays Week 1, you are likely starting him. Detroit allowed the tenth-most fantasy points, the fourth-highest catch rate, and the eight-highest yards per reception to tight ends in 2022.
