Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Adam Thielen

Friday, October 23, 11:53 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will likely be a focal point of the offense as the team heads to Seattle this weekend. Kelce was listed on the injury report with an ankle injury that he sustained early in last week's game, but he was healthy enough to finish the contest and logged a limited practice on Friday so he should be good to go. Kelce had a serviceable game in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers, catching four passes for 53 yards on five targets. The veteran tight end did not find the end zone last week but his 53 yards were the second-most on the team just behind Xavier Worthy. Kelce will now have to face the tough Seattle defense on the road in Week 7. The Seahawks are arguably the most well-rounded defense in football, but the position that most often finds success against them is tight end. With wide receiver Rashee Rice out another game with his hamstring injury, Kelce should continue to see a high volume of targets from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Kelce is ranked TE8 in our RotoBaller Week 7 PPR rankings, making him a solid TE1 option this week. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting Kelce this Sunday, but be prepared for a potentially low-scoring affair.
