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

Saturday, November 15, 5:12 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 11. Kelce has been a strong option at the tight end position and should continue being that coming out of the team's Week 10 bye. The veteran tight end has managed to eclipse 60 receiving yards in four of the last five games and scored two touchdowns in that span. Kelce was virtually invisible when he played with Rashee Rice in 2024 since the latter garnered all the targets and success. It was assumed that Kelce's value would take a hit with Rice's return in Week 7, but Kelce managed to put up his best fantasy performance of the year in Week 8. Despite his success, Kelce could have a difficult time against Denver this week. The Broncos defense has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. Kelce is ranked TE10 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a low-end TE1 against the Broncos.

Ja'Tavion Sanders had his best game since Week 2 vs. the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, although the numbers were still mediocre. The Carolina tight end had five receptions, 32 yards, and registered 8.2 PPR Fantasy Points. Carolina's Week 11 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons presents a nightmare scenario statistically for Sanders. The Falcons rank second in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed against the TE position this season. Atlanta is one of only three teams in the league to give up only one receiving TD to TEs while also surrendering the second-fewest receiving yards (275) to the position this year. With one of the worst matchups for his position, Sanders should be ignored by fantasy players who are looking for a TE to stream this week.
