Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Hunter Henry

Saturday, September 6, 12:27 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught two of four targets for 47 yards and one touchdown during Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The veteran only had one catch through the first three quarters, but he boosted his stats with a big 37-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter. While he won't continue to score a touchdown in every game going forward, he still has a good chance to replicate his 12.7-point (PPR) performance given his alpha role in the Kansas City pass-catching unit. His role should only increase going forward with Rashee Rice suspended and Xavier Worthy (shoulder) potentially facing an extended absence.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry should be considered as a viable option for your starting lineup in fantasy football. The veteran tight end had arguably the best season of his career last year, setting personal bests with 97 targets, 66 catches, and 674 yards despite sharing some of his volume with Austin Hooper. His productivity could only increase this year as Drake Maye gets more comfortable in the offense and potentially looks toward Henry more often, especially in the end zone. In addition to having a favorable season outlook, Henry should benefit right away in Week 1 as the Patriots face the Raiders, who allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2024.
