Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or David Njoku

Monday, September 25, 1:37 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught 7-of-8 targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Week 3's 41-10 smackdown of the Chicago Bears. The 33-year-old was just out of arm's reach on a potential first-quarter touchdown after a pass glanced off his fingertips in the back of the end zone. But Kelce was able to shake a defender for some open space on a similar route for a short score later during the third period, much to the delight of fantasy managers, and even Taylor Swift from an Arrowhead Stadium suite. This one got ugly in a hurry, diminishing the overall upside of all K.C. skill positions with a commanding 34-0 lead at halftime, but Kelce managed a satisfying fantasy afternoon before the Chiefs sat on the ball. The four-time All-Pro will likely be in a tier by himself among Week 4 TE1 plays once again on Sunday Night Football against the stumbling New York Jets.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku is off to a slow start in 2023, having caught just 10 passes for 92 scoreless yards through three games. Njoku will look to break out against the Baltimore Ravens at home in Week 4. The Ravens will represent a tough challenge for Njoku, however, as they are allowing the second-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends through three weeks. Njoku can be an explosive playmaker at the tight-end position but this is a tough week to trust him. Treat him as a mid-range TE2 and don't hesitate to bench him if you have a better option on your bench.
