Here is this week’s edition of the Kansas City Chiefs mailbag. To ask a question for a future edition, send it to me via Twitter (@adamteicher) and tag it #ChiefsMail.

@adamteicher #ChiefsMail is it me or is the current roster weaker thank last years's? Especially at OL, DB, and WR.

@adamteicher: I would agree with you at offensive line, where they lost a Pro Bowl player, Branden Albert, and at defensive back, where they lost a pretty good player in Brandon Flowers. Not sure I agree at wide receiver. Let's see what Frankie Hammond can do. One position where they are way ahead of where they were last year is tight end. Travis Kelce is a huge upgrade over Sean McGrath.

@adamteicher So Adam, how much do you think Travis Kelce will play this year? And do you see him being a good fantasy player? #Chiefsmail

@adamteicher: He'll play a considerable amount. Tight end is a strength of the Chiefs. They'll need to use a lot of two- and maybe even three-tight end formations. I wouldn't make him a priority in your fantasy draft, but he wouldn't be a bad pickup.

@adamteicher Do you think Bronson could become the Marcus Cooper of another team? He played so well in the preseason from what I saw.

@adamteicher: I was surprised the Chiefs released Malcolm Bronson, a young safety they carried on their practice squad last year. I thought he did enough good things that they should have kept him around. So it's worth watching what happens with him.

@adamteicher What the heck is up with Catapano? #Chiefs

@adamteicher: Defensive lineman Mike Catapano missed most of training camp and all of the preseason with some sort of mysterious virus, and I'm not sure the Chiefs know exactly what they're dealing with. He's on the non-football injury list now and they could bring him back later in the season if he's healthy enough.

@adamteicher thanks Adam. Can Bray practice and study with the Chiefs this year

@adamteicher: Tyler Bray can't practice with the Chiefs because he's on injured reserve.

@adamteicher was it just me or does Cyrus gray look faster and more agile this year

@adamteicher: Gray looks good. I don't know that it will matter much because he won't play much at running back.
