Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Dallas Goedert

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce took accountability after colliding with second-year wideout Xavier Worthy on the opening drive of the season. The collision left Worthy with a dislocated shoulder that sidelined him for the rest of the game. "There is no excuse for me running into my own guys like that," Kelce admitted on the New Heights Podcast. Worthy's early exit appeared to rattle the Chiefs' offense. Without his speed to stretch the field, the Los Angeles Chargers defense was able to apply pressure on Patrick Mahomes, limiting Kansas City's explosive plays and ultimately sealing a win. With Worthy's recovery timeline still unclear, the Chiefs will look to Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster to carry the receiving load, while Kelce is expected to play an even bigger role in the passing attack.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 2 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Goedert recorded seven catches for 44 yards in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys, but also suffered a knee sprain that will force him to miss at least one game. Without Goedert in the lineup, the fantasy outlook for Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is significantly improved. In the seven games Goedert missed last season, Smith scored six receiving touchdowns. In the five games where they shared the field, Smith scored just one.
