2.) Travis Kelce - tight end, Kansas City Chiefs

In what was expected to be a high scoring game between the Dolphins and Chiefs, was actually more of a defensive game that included one defensive touchdown by the Chiefs. While Kansas City was able to shut down the passing attack that Miami has, the offense for the Chiefs relied on the run game with Isiah Pacheco (16 carries, 6 yards with 9 yards being his longest). One player that usually always has some sort of miraculous catch and even a touchdown was Travis Kelce, who did not score double digit points in fantasy this week with only 3 catches for 14 yards off of 4 targets. 

Obviously Kelce provides so much volume at the tight end position and as the number one option in the Kansas City pass-attack, but it was tight end Noah Gray who led the team in receptions and yards for the Chiefs. The Chiefs would go on to win 21-14 and take down Miami, but the services of Kelce were nonexistent to fantasy owners who have Kelce.
