Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or DJ Moore

Wednesday, December 24, 4:42 PM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce could be heavily involved on Christmas Day against the Denver Broncos. Kelce caught one pass for six yards on four targets in Week 16, giving fantasy managers one of his most disappointing performances of the season. With the Chiefs already eliminated from playoff contention, there is little left to play for except legacy. The 36-year-old tight end has not explicitly stated that this is his last season with the team, but there has been speculation that he could hang it up after this year. If Kelce does plan to retire this offseason, Christmas Day at Arrowhead could be Kelce's last home game of his career. Given the inexperience of Chris Oladokun at quarterback, Kelce could operate close to the line of scrimmage and act as a release valve for the QB. Kelce will also have to deal with one of the best defenses in the league, the Denver Broncos. Despite giving up the fifth-fewest points per game this season, the Broncos defense has been relatively soft against tight ends. Kelce is ranked TE18 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a low-end TE2 option for fantasy managers this Thursday.

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore stole the show in Week 16's thrilling victory over the Green Bay Packers. Moore hauled in five of seven targets for 97 yards and the game-winning 46-yard touchdown. With both Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden III (ankle) inactive last week, Moore played his highest snap count of the season and set season highs in yards and targets. In the last two weeks, Moore has totaled 166 yards and three touchdowns in games where Odunze was out. He faces a 49ers defense that has allowed the 14th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. With their secondary banged up entering Week 17, Moore has another opportunity to perform as the WR1 in the Bears offense.
