josh wiley 27 Posted September 5, 2023 Kielce was great for me last year so I hope he heals up well. That being said my opponent this week has him so rest up big fella Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 660 Posted September 5, 2023 thats a big ouch if you spent a first on the guy. good news is... this type of injury wont keep him out more than a week or two I suspect. there is a slightly increased risk of soft tissue injuries after the recovery but I wouldnt worry much about that.

nobody 2,245 Posted September 5, 2023 That must've been one hell of a hyperextension for the mighty Travis Kelce to miss a game over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 660 Posted September 5, 2023 I still question whether he will miss time, but Noah Gray is the guy to pickup if he does miss time. hes good enough to start on more than a few teams. hes just not starting here because Kelce can still play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmh6476 826 Posted September 5, 2023 I'd be comfortable going Noah gray as a plug and play with kelce out. He's shown flashes just blocked by the best te in the league. Maybe 4 receptions, 50 yards with possibility of a td for gray if kelce don't play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 583 Posted September 5, 2023 I doubt this does the trick, but I may have to think about him being available at my pick 1.12 tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe 4 receptions, 50 yards with possibility of a td for gray if kelce don't play. fair analysis. if by some fluke KC is losing in the 4th Quarter that is when Gray will get high use. from what I can tell, his special skillset is to find that gap in the zone and wait for the pass. Mahomes will hit him all day long if the other team plays a lot of zone D. point worth mentioning, the guy got 300 yards receiving last year as the backup to Kelce. Not bad given what a workhorse Kelce is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His problem is hamburgers and being built like a fullback. He would be around 30-45lbs bigger than most of the starting TE's in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I was saying is he's probably as good an option as anyone else out there. I stand by what I said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That makes him super special. well, he has nice hands. and Mahomes can thread the needle. I'm not saying to expect miracles. hes not Kelce but hes good enough for a 1 or 2 week filler. remember, this is a waiver wire pickup. thats who we are comparing him to. we are not comparing him to legit fantasy starters. hes good because of the situation and because Mahomes likes throwing to his TE's. on another team his value is dicey.

weepaws 2,669 Posted September 7, 2023 12 hours ago, Super Cubs said: benched Kelce for Kmet just incase I'm not home by the time the game starts. I’ve done it. My life is very busy, and on most days ff is number 50 of importance of what’s taking place in my life. I read today that KC is going give Kelce knee a text to see if he can play, and if he can I think makes your decision even tougher, how limited will Kelce be if he does play. Good luck with your final decision, it’s a tough one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_T 660 Posted September 7, 2023 I think they dress him but give Gray all the reps early, and if the team falls behind Kelce comes back in. if the team is winning Kelce will continue to sit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,245 Posted September 7, 2023 My bet is he sits. If he hyperextended so bad that they were worried he tore his ACL, then I'd assume he has a lot of swelling. Zeke had a hyperextension last year and missed the following game, had a bye, and then missed the game after the bye. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

makindollaz 45 Posted September 7, 2023 I have Freiermuth I can plug into the TE spot if needed, so not panicking but, leaning towards playing V. Jefferson over Kelce in a flex spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
