Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce saw his playing time increase in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos. Kelce played on 32 of 86 offensive snaps in the loss at Denver, which was an uptick from Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Kelce caught three passes for 49 yards against the Titans, but had a bigger game against Denver.
Travis Kelce plays 32 offensive snaps; fantasy value on the rise
Travis Kelce played in 32 offensive snaps in Week 2 and caught four passes for 81 yards. We break down the fantasy implications.

Kelce caught four passes for 81 yards with no touchdowns against the Broncos. Throughout the preseason, Kelce flashed some serious big-play ability, and the Chiefs drew a lot of criticism for his lack of playing time in Week 1. Head coach Andy Reid admitted to some mistakes in that first game and his uptick in snaps seems to be a response to that.
Fantasy Impact: Kelce's playing time should only increase from here. He has more potential for big plays than Anthony Fasano and is a reliable target for quarterback Alex Smith. He's not yet a must-start in fantasy but owners who have carried him on the roster to this point might just be be rewarded in the near future. He'll get plenty of playing time going forward.
