Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Chig Okonkwo

Sunday, October 4, 9:45 PM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was almost invisible in his team's 30-27 thrilling victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4. After smashing in multiple games to start the season, Kelce only saw four targets in Week 4, catching two of them for 15 yards. Maybe the 37-year-old veteran is no longer at the peak of his abilities as a football player, and is susceptible to strong defensive coverage. The Chiefs don't need him to have a massive game to win, as they have running back Kenneth Walker III, the most productive RB in the NFL, on their side. Kelce faced double coverages all day against Vegas, and they made it a huge part of their game plan defensively against the pass to shut him down. Even when he wasn't double-covered, the Raiders were sound defensively in covering him. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II was looking his way early and often, though, so Kelce should bounce back in Week 6. The Chiefs will rest up in Week 5, as they have an early-season bye. One week later, they'll face the Los Angeles Chargers, who Kelce has a history of absolutely destroying. He'll still be a must-start TE1 for that matchup.
