Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Gerald Everett

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.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (illness) missed practice on Wednesday due to an illness. It would be surprising if Everett wasn't able to return to the practice field later this week, but we'll keep a close eye on his status leading up to Sunday's contest against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Receiver Mike Williams (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings, so that should mean more targets to go around for the rest of LA's pass-catchers the rest of the way, including Everett. The 29-year-old caught all six of his targets last Sunday for 30 yards. If his illness keeps him out against the Raiders, Donald Parham Jr. would be a popular streamer at tight end.
