Analyze Travis Kelce's matchup for week 10
Kelce is on bye, so he can’t be started; use the week to stream a replacement and enjoy the mental break before a playoff push.
Kelce and the Chiefs are off in Week 10, eliminating any lineup decision. His recent four-game surge (28 targets, 292 yards, 2 TDs) shows vintage form, and the bye arrives at an ideal time to refresh the 36-year-old for a soft Week 11 date in Denver and the fantasy stretch run.
Ascending: 7.0 targets, 73.0 yards per game over last four with two scores and a season-best 99-yard outing in Week 8.
Long-term, Kelce’s workload and usage remain elite; he’s played on 85% of KC’s red-zone snaps this season and leads the team in end-zone targets. The Chiefs have incentive to keep him fresh for January, meaning the bye week workload management should extend into Weeks 11-14, keeping him on the field in crucial fantasy playoff weeks. Bottom line: bench Kelce with confidence this Sunday, scoop a high-floor streamer, and brace for a refreshed superstar ready to carry rosters into championship week.
