Travis Kelce Relies On Elite Role In Tough Matchup

Travis Kelce Relies On Elite Role In Tough Matchup

10 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce enjoyed his best fantasy effort since a Week 7 eruption with two touchdowns during the Divisional Round victory over the Buffalo Bills, but he's had no problem thrashing the Bills in recent years. In Sunday's AFC Championship contest against the Baltimore Ravens, however, Kelce will encounter a much more difficult task. Per DraftKings scoring, Baltimore's defense ranks fourth against TEs. But in five career games against the Ravens, Kelce has caught at least six balls and exceeded 70 yards in each outing. The 34-year-old superstar's $6,600 salary tops his position on Sunday, and only George Kittle holds a candle to Kelce in terms of DFS status. With rookie receiver Rashee Rice lined up to frequently battle with All-Pro defensive back Kyle Hamilton in the slot, quarterback Patrick Mahomes may need to turn to Kelce early and often to combat this vaunted Ravens unit.
