Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs

DraftKings Price: $7,400
Projected Points: 17.1

The aforementioned Chiefs are home favorites against the Raiders in Week 14, and if they are able to surpass their 25.75 implied team total, it likely will be due to Travis Kelce ravaging the Oakland Raiders secondary.

Although the Chiefs offense has been sputtering over the last five weeks, Kelce has been incredibly reliable. From the start of Week 8 against the Denver Broncos, Kelce has scored 29.3, 20.3, 20.9, 6.9, and 25.4 DraftKings points. Those numbers resemble what you'd think you would get if you paid up for Le'Veon Bell. Numbers like that from the tight end position are incredibly rare, and that consistency can set you above the rest of the field if you are brave enough to pay up for him.

As a matter of fact, Kelce likely will be lower-owned than he should be in Week 14. He's priced way above the rest of the tight ends at the position, and a lot of DFS players like to pay down for cheaper tight ends who can score touchdowns and rack up receptions. Kelce can do both, and by paying up for him, you can have a pretty unique build. He also is a perfect target to stack with the volatile Alex Smith.
