Even at 260 pounds, Chiefs TE Travis Kelce showed the ability last year before his injury in offseason practice and training camp to beat a linebacker or safety down the field and make catches. Having a player of Kelce’s size and abilities can add a dimension to a team’s passing game.

But he has to get on the field first. Kelce, still recovering from the knee ailment, missed the first few offseason practices this year. That’s a troubling development. The Chiefs say he will return to practice in time. The fact they didn’t add a tight end in the offseason would support that stance.

Kelce’s situation bears watching. The sooner he can get back to practice, the better for the Chiefs.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
