The Facts: It looks like the Chiefs are paving the way for Kelce to be their undisputed, lead tight end in 2015. On Thursday, the team announced the release of veteran TE Anthony Fasano, who had been their primary starter for the last two years.

Diehards Line: Kelce, who essentially had his entire rookie season wiped out because of a knee injury, bounced back to catch 67 passes for 862 yards and five touchdowns in 2014. He started 11 games, but with Fasano out of the mix, Star beat writer Terez A. Paylor reports the Chiefs will clearly be relying on him to be an every-down threat. The Chiefs currently have four other tight ends on the roster, including second-year pro Demetrius Harris, veteran Richard Gordon and developmental prospects Brandon Barden and Adam Schiltz. Harris, who is listed at 6-7 and 230 pounds, caught three passes for 20 yards in eight games (three starts) before a foot injury ended his season. He would appear to be in the mix for the No. 2 job, though free agency and the draft could change that.
