Travis Kelce Out for Week 1 Matchup Against Detroit

Travis Kelce Out for Week 1 Matchup Against Detroit

one year ago

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) will miss tonight's game against the Detroit Lions after suffering a bone bruise in practice on Tuesday. The superstar tight end will miss his first game because of an injury since his rookie year. While fantasy players are unhappy to hear Kelce will miss tonight's contest, it is the best outcome in the long run. The Chiefs don't play again until September 10, giving the superstar 10 days to heal for the matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Noah Gray will start for Kelce tonight. However, fantasy players can find a better replacement option off the waiver wire. Potential options include Tyler Higbee, Juwan Johnson, and Sam LaPorta.
