Jason Kelce is in Kansas City to watch his brother, Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs face the Chargers.

What happened

According to USA TODAY Sports, Jason Kelce is back from London and was seen tailgating with Chiefs fans before the game. The tailgate was connected to the “New Heights” podcast event at Arrowhead Stadium. Hawkeyes Wire reports that a Caitlin Clark shoe display was set up inside the New Heights tailgate.

Context

Travis Kelce has 52.6 PPR points this season in four games, with 22 targets, 16 receptions, 246 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. He is projected for 13.8 PPR points in Week 6.

The Chiefs are 4-0 and hosting the 0-5 Chargers. Wide receiver Rashee Rice has been ruled out for Sunday’s game due to a right hamstring injury.

Depth chart

The Chiefs’ tight end depth chart lists Travis Kelce as TE1, Noah Gray as TE2, Jake Briningstool as TE3, Jared Wiley as TE4, and John Michael Gyllenborg as TE6. Gray has 12.1 PPR points this season, Briningstool has 1.9, and Wiley has no games played.

What’s next

The game is in progress. Travis Kelce was injured on the first drive against the Chargers, getting his right ankle taped up on the sideline, but he returned for the Chiefs’ second drive.

🏈 Fantasy impact

This news about Jason Kelce tailgating does not affect Travis Kelce’s fantasy value. However, Travis Kelce did suffer a right ankle injury early in Sunday’s game. He was taped up on the sideline and returned to the field for the Chiefs’ second drive, so his availability is not currently in doubt. Kelce is the Chiefs’ top tight end and a high-end fantasy option. If he were to miss time, Noah Gray would be the next man up, but Gray has just 12.1 PPR points in four games and would not be a recommended replacement. Keep monitoring Kelce’s status, but for now, he remains a must-start fantasy tight end.
