Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Hunter Henry

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Las Vegas Raiders at home in Week 7. Kelce caught six passes for 78 yards as he led the Chiefs pass catchers against the Detroit Lions in Week 6. The veteran tight end has strung together back-to-back good games, but that solid production could be coming to an end. Rashee Rice is set to return from suspension in Week 7, which could negatively impact Kelce's offensive contributions. Rice had an outstanding start to the 2024 season, averaging over 20 PPR points per game, but Kelce was not effective during that span. At the beginning of the 2024 season, the Chiefs tight end had eight catches for 69 yards through three games. Kelce and Rice win in the same areas of the field, and the latter is much more explosive at this point. It remains to be seen how the usage will be divided amongst the Chiefs pass catchers, so Kelce should still be a viable starter against Las Vegas this week. The Raiders have allowed the eighth-fewest points to opposing tight ends this season, but that does not mean it will be a bad matchup for Kelce. He can find success against the Raiders if Patrick Mahomes decides to feed him. Kelce is ranked TE8 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a solid TE1 this week.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is looking to bounce back as a reliable fantasy option during Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. Henry wasn't heavily involved last Sunday against the Bills, catching just two passes for 46 yards as he turned in his second-worst fantasy performance of the season. He should be more involved this week against the Saints, and he has a great opportunity to produce in a big way. After all, New Orleans has allowed the second-most touchdowns and third-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Henry is Drake Maye's favorite target not named Stefon Diggs, and he should be a mid-to-low TE1 this week.
