Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Dalton Kincaid

Thursday, June 19, 6:10 PM

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he's not inclined to limit tight end Travis Kelce's snaps this year or make concessions to his age (35) after he briefly contemplated retirement in the offseason. "I'm not feeling that," Reid said. "It would be similar to last year I would imagine as it goes. So, he's in great shape right now, so I think he's looking forward to getting going." However, Reid said he will continue to monitor Kelce as training camp and the regular season progress and makes changes if necessary. Kelce had the third-highest snap count and ran the fourth-most routes of his career in 2024, which bodes well for him staying heavily involved in the offense in 2025. However, the 10-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro's numbers took another dip (97-823-3 line in 16 regular-season starts), making it clear that his ceiling probably is no longer as an elite, high-end fantasy TE1.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) sat out practice on Monday with soreness in his left knee. There's no word on the severity of the issue, but it's worth noting that Kincaid missed a month last year with a PCL tear in the same knee and played through the injury at the end of the season. Thanks in part to his knee troubles, Kincaid experienced a marked decline in production compared to the previous season. As a rookie in 2023, the former first-round pick from Utah amassed 73 catches on 91 targets, 673 yards, and two touchdowns over 16 games. In another two-TD campaign last year, Kincaid caught only 44 of 75 targets for 448 yards in 13 contests. The 25-year-old still has serious upside, especially with reigning MVP Josh Allen as his quarterback and no established No. 1 wide receiver on the roster, but his ongoing knee troubles are concerning.
