Details. I'd prefer to just irrationally blame Belichik.

Not cold water. But I'm hearing more 2-4. That's entirely subject to change though.
On the upside, the decision for GMs is pretty simple I think. If he's your TE (like he is for me in my most important league), be ready to have him be declared out tomorrow evening. If he's active, I think he's a top 5 TE. Even a limited Kelce is better than most every teams second TE.
I would say mid to late second with the uncertainty. Depending on the league, he could go much sooner, depending on the level of research the other owners in that league do. I just had a low money ($25) work league PPR draft tonight that is not very competitive and he went 1.6.
I took him at 1.4 in a medium money league last week before the injury, so welp. It’s me. I am the mark in the room.

I almost took him at 1.03 on Monday. Glad I dodged that bullet

Later 1st Round tonight, have been in drafts where he went as high as #2 overall
I don't think many folks are operating on the 2-4 weeks theory, that would make Kelce a 1st round disaster if he's out an entire month
I know we don't have any confirmation but a bone bruise on the knee has got to be painful
Look at it from the Chiefs' POV, they just won their 2nd Super Bowl out of 3 trips over the last 5 years, there is absolutely NO RUSH for Kelce to be on the field.
They might lose a game or two they shouldn't but they are far better off getting Kelce healthy.
-28% of KC targets went to Kelce last year if my ears heard correctly. Almost 1/3, astonishing

It's not just you. I took him at 1.04 as well. Drafted Monday night. 1st news I see on Tuesday is Kelce is hurt. FML. To compound my pain I have Mahomes as well. Got him in the 3rd round. I picked up Higbee on waivers so at least I have a warm body in case Travis can't go.
I bet he's loving every minute of the drama he's created as well.

An overwhelming number of Teams in the High Stakes space, across all formats, drafted the Mahomes/Kelce stack.
I am not among them. Almost was. Drafted yesterday evening from the 4th position, with every intention of going that route had the pair fell to me.
I've been on the ****-end of the stick plenty of times over 30 some-odd years of enjoying Fantasy Football. Too many of us know all too well how some of our peers, friends and rivals are feeling right now.
As much as it benefits me for Kelce to be sidelined, as a fan of NFL Football, I can't help but think the NFL is more enjoyable with Mahomes-to-Kelce happening weekly.
Very confident the Reid/Nagy/Mahomes brain trust will figure something out with between McKinnon, the WR collective and Noah Gray.
Next man up! You've been training for this for 3 years now. It's your time!

Hoping you’re right. He’s an incredible player.

I actually think you are dead on with this. I could see McKinnon having a huge night.

I am on the benching Kelce side of things. Of course I have Hockenson to put in his place so am ok doing so

I took him 1.2 on Monday.

Someone already mentioned it but just using him as Mahomes favorite red zone target could be the plan.

Damn. And you STILL think you guys lose even with Kelce?

Chris Jones.
This is the reason if the Chiefs lose tonight. He makes such a huge difference in the middle of that defense.
If he plays he won't be in any of my lineups.

Hope he plays. Don’t want to hear excuses after Detroit wins.

50/50 he plays/sits, but I'm biased.

Great news! Do I start Kelce or Hockenson -- I know, I know, ridiculous problem to have, but its dynasty. Traded for Hockenson this off season preparing for the possibility of this being Kelce's final year

If Kelce is playing he is in your lineup. I know that is an obvious statement.

Its really not. I'd be fine playing Hockenson over a gimpy Kelce for one week.

I don't think he plays. KC is just stringing this out to make Detroit prepare as if he will be in there.
Just a hunch.

I'm sure a good opening game will finally get him some attention from the ladies....

We don’t think them activating some random TE is a sign Kelce is out?
ChiefD
Footballguy
Not necessarily. Reid has played with 4 tight ends before. Not sure who will be inactive because of it. Maybe Kelce if he really can't go. But I wouldn't be surprised if they had 4 tight ends this game.

Probably will know when KC Offense trots out for their first series.
He just isn't worth playing IMO.
Doug B

Would the Chiefs keep Kelce on the gameday active roster and then simply sit him? Was kind of hoping they'd make the 90-minutes-before-kickoff announcement, and then Kelce owners could adjust accordingly.

Ed Werder Tweet at 5:21: "Corrected: Sources tell me that #Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is pleading with head coach Andy Reid and trainer Rick Burkholder to play him tonight against the Lions despite the hyperextended knee he suffered in the team’s final practice two days ago."

Imagine being a world class athlete whose older brother tells national media “yeah I had one of those, stupidest thing ever. tried to kick a piece of firewood backwards. super painful…but since the ACL is intact, he probably can’t make it worse by playing. it’s just pain management.”
Travis: Sonuva…
