Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Ja'Tavion Sanders

Sunday, November 8, 5:39 PM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce continues to defy Father Time in 2026 and was the team's leading receiver in their 35-12 blowout win at home against the New York Jets on Sunday in Week 9 to snap a two-game losing streak. Kelce was once again one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite weapons, catching four of his six targets for a team-high 72 receiving yards. He also found the end zone for the first time since Week 3 on a one-yard carry at the goal line. Kelce's six targets were just one behind receiver Rashee Rice and were tied with Xavier Worthy. The future Hall of Fame tight end is no longer competing for the title of best fantasy TE in his 14th NFL season, but he has proven once again to be a TE1 in fantasy football in what could be the final year of his illustrious career. With his 72 yards on Sunday against the Jets, Mahomes and Kelce are now the most prolific QB-TE combo in NFL history, surpassing Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates. Kelce will take a 33-482-2 line (one rushing touchdown) in a solid Week 10 matchup versus the Atlanta Falcons. Mahomes had an injury scare on Sunday when his right elbow was hit by a defender, but the star signal-caller returned to the game and should be fine going forward, which is good news for Kelce's fantasy managers.
