Travis Kelce’s Slow Start
Kansas City Chiefs tight end **Travis Kelce one of the NFL’s most dominant offensive weapons, has had a slower start to the season than expected. While Kelce remains a top target for quarterback **Patrick Mahomes**, his production in the early weeks has been below his usual standards. Kelce has dealt with some minor injuries, and the Chiefs’ offense has had a few hiccups in the transition post-Tyreek Hill, but many expect him to bounce back.
