Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Jaylen Warren

Tuesday, October 7, 12:34 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught seven of eight targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's loss to the Jaguars. Kelce caught his first touchdown since Week 1, leading the team in receptions and tying his season high in receiving yards. The return of second-year wide receiver Xavier Worthy has greatly benefited the Kansas City offense, scoring at least 28 points in both of the games with him in the lineup. His speed opens up a lot of opportunities for other players and especially for passes underneath for Kelce. However, with Rashee Rice set to be back from suspension in Week 7, many of those passes will likely be redirected to Rice, who is much more dynamic after the catch than Kelce at this stage of his career.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday. The 26-year-old missed Pittsburgh's Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings due to a knee injury, but it appears the team's Week 5 bye served him well. The Steelers are currently prepping for a Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Warren has recorded 274 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 54 total touches in three games this season. In Warren's absence in Week 4, Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell had a monster game, scoring two touchdowns and recording 134 scrimmage yards. Gainwell's performance may lead to him stealing some touches away from Warren once Warren returns. If he's able to play, Warren profiles as a low-end RB2/high-end flex option for fantasy managers in Week 6 against Cleveland.
