Kelce will likely take on a bigger role in the offense in the 2015 season, following the release of Anthony Fasano on Thursday, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Kelce led the Chiefs with 67 catches and 862 receiving yards in 2014, tacking on an additional five receiving touchdowns. Fasano's departure leaves Kelce, Demetrius Harris and Richard Gordon as the Chief's current top three tight ends. Kelce heavily outperformed Fasano in 2014, despite a limited snap count, and his expanded role in the offense should make him one of the better options at tight end heading into the 2015 season.
