Kansas City Chiefs tight end Anthony Fasano is inactive against the Seattle Seahawks Sunday. He has been out of practice with a knee contusion. This will be his first game out of the lineup all year.

Obviously, you were not counting on Fasano in any of your fantasy leagues. He hasn't caught more than four balls all year. However, he gets a ton of snaps, which has been a big reason why tight end Travis Kelce has yet to really bust out.
Last week, he played just 66.6 percent of snaps compared to the 76.7 percent of Fasano. No other tight end saw a snap last week, so it should be a Kelce party today, especially with the lack of receivers on KC.
What's more, the Seahawks have been torched by tight ends as the fourth-easiest matchup this season. Oakland Raiders tight end Mychal Rivera lit them up for two scores two weeks ago and they've given up multiple-TDs to tight ends in four games this season.
Fantasy impact: You have to start Kelce today and he’s going to be a very popular daily league option -- he should be.
