Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles was the headliner of the Monday night win over the New England Patriots with his three scores, but he wasn't the only player who turned heads. Tight end Travis Kelce exploded for eight catches, 93 receiving yards and one touchdown.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 5: Travis Kelce
Travis Kelce had his coming-out party on Monday. Will he keep the party going for his fantasy owners?

His snaps were limited in the first two games of the season, but the Chiefs upped his chances in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins. That game only led to three catches, 36 yards and one score, but it laid a foundation for his Week 4 breakout.
Do you know who is starting opposite receiver Dwayne Bowe? It's A.J. Jenkins, which is all you need to know about the opportunities for Kelce this week against the San Francisco 49ers. Sure, the Chiefs are going to run it as much as they can, but Alex Smith will likely get a chance to throw against his former team.
Fantasy impact: The 49ers may be one of the better defenses in the league, but the Chiefs have shown they can move the ball with 37.5 points per game over the last two weeks. Kelce will be a top-six play this week and is absolutely a must-own player.
