Travis Kelce, Jeremy Maclin, Alex Smith's Post-Week 1 Fantasy Advice

Timothy RappSep 13, 2015

Travis Kelce knows how to make an entrance. 

The star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs opened the 2015 season with a bang, nabbing two touchdown receptions in the first half and, at least for one week, living up to the preseason fantasy hype that pegged him as a top-five option at his position. 

While Kansas City may not always have the success in the passing game it surprisingly had against the Houston Texans, Kelce should consistently be one of fantasy's top tight ends and a major facet of the Chiefs offense. He's primed for a big year.

Jeremy Maclin didn't fare as well as Kelce, but he was still a major part of the team's passing game. Maclin doesn't have the upside he had a year ago in Philadelphia's explosive offense, but he's still Smith's top option out wide and has the ability to stretch a defense down the field. 

Maclin remains a WR2 consideration and, at worst, a worthy flex option each week.

As for Smith, he's still nothing more than a low-end QB2. While he had a lot of success against Houston, he remains a game-managing quarterback on an offense that prefers to run the ball with Jamaal Charles. Yes, he has nice weapons in Kelce, Maclin and Charles in the passing game, but Smith's upside remains pretty low despite his nice start to the season.
