Fasano returned to a reduced role with the return of Delanie Walker (wrist) against the Colts on Sunday, recording just one reception for 26 yards on two targets.
Fasano proved last week that he is capable of taking on a bigger role if Walker is forced to miss time with injury, but he is a distant second in the tight end pecking order when Walker is able to suit up.

Fasano filled in admirably for the injured Delanie Walker (hand) against the Browns Saturday, catching five of his seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown.
The veteran tight end served as a security blanket for rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota, as Mariota had to get rid of the ball quickly against a Cleveland defense that was generating a lot of pressure. Walker probably won't be out much longer, but Fasano's all-around ability at the tight end position should allow him to see a decent amount of snaps even when Walker returns.

Fasano caught his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's season opener against the Buccaneers.
Fasano had a relatively quiet day despite his team putting up 42 points in the contest. Starter Delanie Walker injured his hand in the contest, so Fasano could see a short-term spike in value if Walker is forced to miss some time with the injury. The veteran tight end is a solid all-around player, but his fantasy upside will be limited as long as Walker plays.

Fasano recorded a pair of catches for 13 yards in Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons.
Fasano had a quiet night while working with the first-team offense in Delanie Walker's absence. He's pretty firmly entrenched as the number two tight end on the Titans depth chart at this point.
Fri Mar 13 201512:18Fasano reached agreement with Titans on Friday
Fasano reached an agreement with the Titans on Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.
Mostly known for his work as a blocker, Fasano will provide depth behind Delanie Walker. Even if Walker suffers an injury, Fasano will offer minimal upside as a receiving threat.
Thu Feb 26 201515:04The Chiefs have released Fasano
The Chiefs have released Fasano, ESPN's Adam Teicher reports.
Fasano, who finished the 2014 season with 25 catches on 37 targets for 226 yards and four touchdowns, should catch on elsewhere as a depth tight end, but probably the most significant aspect of his release from a fantasy perspective is that it should lead to added opportunities in the Chiefs' offense for the promising Travis Kelce.

Fasano failed to record a reception in Sunday's regular season finale against the Chargers.
Fasano's offensive production dropped dramatically in the second half, as he recorded just six receptions over his last seven games played. He finished the 2014 season with just 25 receptions on 37 targets for 226 yards and four touchdowns. With Travis Kelce getting another year under his belt, Fasano's offensive production will likely continue to drop heading into 2015. His largest contribution will once again likely come run-blocking for Jamaal Charles, but his snap count will likely remain below Kelce in 2015 and he shouldn't be considered a fantasy draft option in most formats.
Sun Dec 28 201411:41Fasano (knee) active for Sunday's game against Chargers
Fasano (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Fasano is available for this game, but he has been overshadowed by Travis Kelce this year and is coming off a one-catch performance in Week 16.

Fasano (knee) nabbed one pass for one yard Sunday against the Steelers.
Fasano was targeted just three times on the day, and did near nothing. He is still second fiddle to Travis Kelce in the passing game and doesn't serve much fantasy value.
Tue Dec 23 201412:52Fasano (knee) did not practice Tuesday
Fasano (knee) did not practice Tuesday, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.
Fasano was dealing with a knee injury leading up to Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, but he was declared active and caught one pass for one yard. At this point it's difficult to predict if he'll be ready for Sunday's game against San Diego, so check back on his status later in the week.
Sun Dec 21 201411:43Fasano (knee) active for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh
Fasano (knee) is active for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.
With only 24 receptions and four touchdowns on the year so far, Fasano is probably not starting for many fantasy teams in the fantasy playoffs, but he is available.
Fri Dec 19 201417:09Fasano (knee) officially probable Sunday's game against Steelers
Fasano (knee) is officially probable Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Fasano did not practice Wednesday before returning on a limited basis Thursday and Friday. He will likely play Sunday, but if not, Travis Kelce and Richard Gordon would be the Chiefs' two tight end options.
Thu Dec 18 201417:48Fasano (knee) returned to limited practice Thursday
Fasano (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday, the Chiefs' official site reports.
We'll revisit Fasano's status Friday, but we'd expect him to be listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Wed Dec 17 201419:58Fasano (knee) did not practice Wednesday
Fasano (knee) did not practice Wednesday, the Kansas City Star reports.
We'll track Fasano's status as the week rolls along, but with no reported setbacks with his knee, we suspect that the veteran tight end will practice in some capacity on Thursday.

Fasano (knee) caught one pass for two yards Sunday against the Raiders.
Fasano saw less snaps than his counterpart (Travis Kelce) Sunday. Kelce also serves much more purpose in the passing game than Fasano, so reduced snaps makes him less of an option than he was at the start of the season.
Sun Dec 14 201411:34Fasano (knee) active for Sunday's game against Raiders
Fasano (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Fasano has three scores in his last five games, and it would be four if not for a questionable penalty that negated a touchdown last week against Arizona. His knee is not a concern heading into Sunday's matchup with the Raiders, who have allowed 23 scores through the air this year (tied for 21st in the league).
Fri Dec 12 201416:34Fasano (knee) listed as probable for Sunday's game against Raide...
Fasano (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, the Chiefs' official site reports.
With fellow TE Travis Kelce also in the mix, Fasano carries limited upside in the catch/yardage departments, with his fantasy utility reliant on him finding the end zone, something Fasano has done four times in 12 games thus far.
Thu Dec 11 201417:55Fasano (knee) returned to limited practice Thursday
Fasano (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday, ESPN.com reports.
Given that Fasano possesses limited upside in the catch/yardage departments, he's only going to help fantasy owners out when he finds the end zone, which makes him a hit-or-miss option in TD-friendly formats.
Wed Dec 10 201413:06Fasano (knee) won't practice Wednesday
Fasano (knee) won't practice Wednesday, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.
We'll revisit Fasano's status Thursday, but the report notes that the tight end is day-to-day and it's plausible that his absence Wednesday was simply maintenance-related.
Mon Dec 8 201417:56Fasano failed to catch pass on one target Sunday against Cardina...
Fasano failed to catch a pass on one target Sunday against the Cardinals.
While Fasano remains a big part of the offense as a blocker in the running game, he fails to contribute consistently as a receiving tight end. He remains behind Travis Kelce as a fantasy tight end option for Kansas City.
