Travis Kelce Week 7 Outlook - Chiefs at Broncos

He was the Kelce we all know and love last week, racking up 5/65/2 in a messy game against the Bills defense that can't seem to stop tight ends. It's not quite the same story with the Broncos, though. They've faced four tight ends who've seen four-plus targets, and while all of them totaled at least three catches and 36 yards, none of them topped 49 yards. The only top-12 tight end they've played was Jonnu Smith, who turned seven targets into 4/36/1 back in Week 1, which was the biggest tight end performance they allowed. The Broncos were good against tight ends in this same scheme last year, though it didn't stop Kelce from catching 17 balls for 186 yards in the two games combined. You're never going to bench Kelce, so the only reason you'd be here is to ask about playing him for DFS purposes. While this isn't a great matchup on paper, I don't think it's a matchup you should run from, especially knowing the George Kittle (the other expensive tight end) has a brutal matchup against the Patriots. If you're paying up, Kelce would be my pick.
