Travis Kelce, first-round fantasy football pick in 2019? | Pro Football Focus
Kelce is now deserving of a first-round fantasy pick for two specific reasons:
1) He’s awesome, and now in the best situation of his fantasy career.
2) Due to positional advantage, his 295.8 projected fantasy points are worth significantly more than Michael Thomas (WR1 per our projections) and his 336.2 projected fantasy points.

5) Kansas City Chiefs
We are still waiting to see what the status of Tyreek Hill will be for this year. But dealing in what we know, Patrick Mahomes is the best player in the NFL. He’s a magician. And it’s scary to think the reigning MVP is only scratching the surface. Travis Kelce is the best tight end in football. And the receiving corps still has depth and talent beyond Hill.
Dwayne Bowe: Chiefs Players Are ‘Rooting For’ Tyreek Hill Amid Child Abuse Case | Bleacher Report
Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe told TMZ Sportsthat Tyreek Hill’s teammates are “rooting for him” while he remains indefinitely suspended by the Kansas City Chiefs amid an investigation into allegations he physically abused his son.
”When I talk to guys on the team, they’re still rooting for him,” Bowe said. “They’re pulling for him. It’s all he said, she said until the final word is out.”
What’s behind the Kansas City Chiefs’ brutal history of domestic violence? | USA Today
No other franchise in the NFL has compiled a record of domestic violence quite as brutal as the Kansas City Chiefs.
Browns GM, coach attend RB Hunt’s baptism | ESPN
Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey and coach Freddie Kitchens attended Kareem Hunt’s baptism ceremony Sunday in support of the running back, who is trying to turn his life around in his hometown of Cleveland.
The running back signed with the Browns in February after being cut by the Kansas City Chiefs when a video surfaced of Hunt shoving and kicking a woman at his Cleveland residence in 2018. Because of that altercation, Hunt will miss the first eight games of the 2019 season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
Chiefs Twitter Q&A: Patrick Peterson, Darron Lee and overtime rules | Kansas City Star
Not surprisingly, most of this week’s questions revolved around Patrick Peterson. And this was before the Arizona Cardinals cornerback was issued a six-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
So, since the bulk of this week’s questions were about Peterson, I’m going to pose my own question and attempt to answer it.
Also, as I’ve discussed with the Tyreek Hill situation, your talent can outweigh your problem until the problems outweigh the talent. His talent is such that teams will employ him after the Chiefs release him, unless more evidence is unveiled and/or he get’s charged and convicted of a crime. As it stands now, law enforcement has declined to press charges and even though there is damning audio, the NFL shouldn’t be banning players for life because Hill might have done something atrocious.

39. February 2019: The Browns sign Kareem Hunt
Like he did with Antonio Callaway, Dorsey decided to bet on talent—despite glaring character concerns—when he signed Kareem Hunt, who had been cut by the Chiefs in November after a video surfaced of Hunt kicking a woman during a February 2018 incident in Cleveland, of all places.
Around the league
AFC West
Los Angeles. The Chargers have the most talent in the conference and while we know things have a way of going sideways for them come January, I can’t fathom them not making it. They were a force last year despite never having Joey Bosa, Melvin Ingram and Hunter Henry healthy for the same game, and they are in win-now mode. Love their draft, and they’re continuing to develop impact players ready to emerge. Quality QB, abundant skill players and a nasty defense. Balance on both sides of the ball. I like them to host multiple playoff games at their bandbox stadium (or somewhere else if the NFL forces them to move).
