Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Chig Okonkwo

Sunday, November 16, 9:51 PM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was the focal point of his team's passing offense in their 22-19 Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos. Kelce was targeted a team-high 13 times, recording nine catches for 91 yards and a touchdown. The 36-year-old has now recorded 50 receptions for 631 yards and four scores on 66 targets across 10 games so far this season. Kelce has played some of his best football of late, recording 19 catches for 256 yards and two touchdowns on 26 targets over his last three games. Even with star wideout Rashee Rice back in the lineup after missing the first six games of 2025 due to suspension, Kelce has still been a priority target-earner for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Kelce profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) is off the injury report heading into the Week 11 meeting with the Houston Texans. The 26-year-old was limited in practice throughout the week due to a foot injury, although it won't keep him off the field for Sunday's contest. Despite having plenty of preseason hype, Okonkwo has failed to meet expectations for fantasy managers. In nine games, he's amassed only 29 catches (39 targets) for 281 yards while failing to score a touchdown. Granted, Okonkwo still has more snaps than Gunnar Helm. However, Helm has at least found the end zone. All things considered, with Cam Ward under center, neither player has done enough to earn a spot in most fantasy lineups. Keep both benched against one of the top defenses in the National Football League.
