Who Should I Start? Marcedes Lewis or Travis Kelce

Saturday, December 6, 6:24 PM

Denver Broncos tight end Marcedes Lewis was signed from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Lewis has been elevated three times, so he must be signed to the active roster if the team wishes to keep him. The 41-year-old will now stick on the active roster for the rest of the season. At this point in his career, Lewis is basically depth and an extra blocking option. He hasn't finished with more than six receptions in a single season since the 2021 campaign with the Green Bay Packers. Lewis can be ignored in all fantasy formats going forward.

The Kansas City Chiefs want impending free-agent tight end Travis Kelce back in 2026 if he decides to play for another season, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Kelce has not made a firm decision on his playing future, but reports over the weekend suggest that he could be leaning toward playing another season. The 36-year-old 11-time Pro Bowler and four-time first-team All-Pro caught 76 of his 108 targets for 851 yards and five touchdowns in his 17 starts in 2025 in his 13th year in the league. Although Kelce finished under 1,000 receiving yards for the third straight season, he still managed to finish as the TE4 in half-PPR scoring, and he should remain a favorite target of quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) in 2026 if he comes back. Kelce is long in the tooth, but he should stay in TE1 territory in fantasy football next season if he returns, especially considering the team has multiple receivers that will hit the free-agent market.
