Charcandrick West, Jeremy Maclin, Travis Kelce's Post-Week 10 Fantasy Advice

Tyler ConwayNov 15, 2015

The Kansas City Chiefs did the impossible in Week 10: They vanquished Peyton Manning to the bench. They also got quite a bit of fantasy production from running back Charcandrick West.

Unheralded out of Abilene Christian, West continued his ascent to fantasy stardom Sunday by scoring two touchdowns and triple-digit all-purpose yards. It was his third straight game in triple digits and at least one score.

Things were a little less noteworthy elsewhere, as the Chiefs passing game stayed quiet in the blowout. Jeremy Maclin was held under 50 yards for the third straight game. And while Travis Kelce had his fourth straight game of five or more catches, he didn't pick up much from a yardage perspective.

With that in mind, let's take a look at how the Chiefs' top offensive stars fared in Week 10 and assess their statuses going forward from a fantasy perspective.

Charcandrick West

West's an every-week start in all formats. We're now a month into him being the full-time starter, and he's had three good games and one bad. That's the type of production you'll take from any running back. West has topped 20 carries each of the last three weeks, is starting to get more integrated into the passing game and is playing on an offense that's trending upward.

There really aren't any downsides here. The Chiefs don't have an obvious replacement on the roster and are having trouble deciding on a backup. Spencer Ware ascended to the second-string spot with Knile Davis listed as a healthy inactive, but he carried the ball only two times.

West has reached set-it-and-forget-it status.

Jeremy Maclin

Maclin's three-week breakout is over and is now starting to feel more like an anomaly than something to expect going forward. He has five games this season with less than 60 receiving yards and three with more. Given Alex Smith's propensity for avoiding wideouts in the end zone, Maclin is a flex play in standard leagues and a low-end WR2 in points-per-reception formats.

31706

By the end of the season, he'll probably have something like 80 catches for 1,000 yards. How he gets there, however, is what makes him so difficult to own from a fantasy perspective.

Travis Kelce

53609

Not much analysis needed here. Kelce's one of the most productive tight ends in any fantasy format, and his consistency makes him an invaluable piece. You're not going to find a better option whose name is not Gronkowski.
