Travis Kelce (hip) is probable to face the Broncos on Thursday night. He had a minor injury in Week 1 against the Houston Texans and was able to return.
Travis Kelce is probable for Thursday, remains elite fantasy asset

Before the injury, Kelce was on his way to a ridiculous opener, scoring twice before he had to leave the game. Kelce finished with six catches, 106 yards and those two scores in an easy win on the road. He’ll be featured heavily yet again on Thursday.
As great as he was, the Broncos have a much better defense to try and stop Kelce. Their secondary is more disciplined and their pass rush is arguably better than Houston’s, which is saying something.
Fantasy impact: If we drafted today, Kelce is probably the No. 2 tight end, with Jimmy Graham and the Seahawks not looking great. The Chiefs have a very good O-line and improved weapons to help quarterback Alex Smith. Start Kelce, obviously.
