Kelce entered the Week 11 game against the Denver Broncos with 540 receiving yards, which is tops among Kansas City's pass-catchers.

However, Kelce is nowhere to be found early on in the game against the Chiefs' AFC West foes on Sunday in Denver.

Is Travis Kelce playing today?

Yes, Kelce is active and in the lineup, he just hasn't been targeted yet.

It's a matter of when, not if, Kelce will get going, so don't fret yet.
