Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Dalton Kincaid

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.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Kincaid returns from a three-game absence and will reclaim his role atop the depth chart. He has a fantastic opportunity to produce this week against a Bengals team that has been historically poor when defending opposing tight ends. In fact, the Bengals have allowed the most catches, receiving yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. Assuming Kincaid is healthy enough to handle a full or near-full workload, he'll be a mid-range TE1 with high-end upside. He's not a lock to play a full dose of snaps, but even if he's limited, this matchup is too favorable not to take advantage of. Kincaid should be started in all fantasy leagues.
