Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Brandin Cooks

Saturday, December 6, 5:29 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will have his hands full against the Houston Texans in Week 14. Kelce caught five passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Despite the loss, the veteran tight end put forth an excellent fantasy performance, and he should be relied upon to do the same against Houston this week. The Texans defense has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season, but Kelce is no average tight end, and his usage in the Kansas City offense sets him apart. Kelce has at least six targets in four of his last five games, with three touchdowns in that span. Kelce is ranked TE4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a top-end option at the position once again.

Former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks signed with the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday and figures to immediately factor into the Bills' plan at wide receiver in some capacity. The Bills have been tinkering with their wide receivers on the roster over the past few weeks, trying to find the right combination on the field. They signed the former Buffalo Bill Gabe Davis back to the roster along with former Kansas City Chiefs wideout Mecole Hardman, but then he was placed on injured reserve with a calf injury. Second-year wideout Keon Coleman has served as a healthy inactive for the past two games for disciplinary reasons. Cooks will have an opportunity to make an impact, although it will take him some time to get up to speed. The veteran hasn't shown much in the past two seasons with the Saints and Cowboys, but he isn't too far removed from a solid 2023 season with the Cowboys, where he recorded 54 receptions for 657 yards and eight touchdowns on eight targets in 16 games. Cooks could be worth monitoring over the next few weeks to see how he is integrated into the offense.
