Outlook Travis Kelce
Travis Kelce vs. Chargers — Top Target in Divisional Clash
Healthy and fully entrenched as Patrick Mahomes' most trusted security blanket, Kelce leads the Kansas City tight end depth chart into a home matchup against the winless Chargers. With starting wide receiver Rashee Rice already ruled out due to knee and hamstring issues, Kelce is primed to capture a substantial share of looks over the middle of the field.
Our models project Kelce for around 11.6 fantasy points on roughly 6 targets and 54 receiving yards. While Kansas City is favored by 7.5 points in a contest that could lean toward the run, his elite red-zone presence and unmatched rapport with Mahomes keep his floor high. Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

Outlook Oronde Gadsden
Oronde Gadsden at Kansas City — Limited Role Keeps Him Off Fantasy Radars
Gadsden continues to serve as the secondary tight end behind Charlie Kolar with David Njoku remaining sidelined on injured reserve. While the Chargers face passing-game vacancies with receiver Tre' Harris ruled out, Gadsden hasn't established consistent involvement, securing just five receptions for 36 yards on nine targets over his last two outings.
Facing an undefeated Chiefs defense as road underdogs, Los Angeles could be forced into negative game scripts, yet our weekly projection anticipates a quiet outing of roughly two catches for 21 yards (4.4 fantasy points). Ristered in just 4% of leagues, Gadsden is strictly a bench stash or desperate play in deep tight-end premium formats.
