Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Jelani Woods

Tuesday, November 11, 9:53 PM

Through his first nine games of 2025, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has recorded 41 catches for 540 yards and three touchdowns on 53 targets. While the 36-year-old is not the player he once was at his peak, he remains a key piece of his team's passing attack. Kelce has recorded at least five targets in seven of nine outings this season and at least 54 yards in six out of nine contests. If there's one cause for concern with Kelce's fantasy profile, it might be his target outlook now that Chiefs wideout Rashee Rice is back from suspension and fully re-integrated into the offense. Kelce has averaged 5.3 targets per game this season with Rice in the lineup, compared to 6.2 targets per game when he's been sidelined. Still, Kelce has remained productive in recent weeks with Rice on the field and profiles as a solid tight end option in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos.

The New York Jets claimed tight end Jelani Woods off waivers on Wednesday from the Indianapolis Colts, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Woods did not make the Colts' final 53-man roster heading into the 2025 season, and now he'll look to make his return to NFL action with the Jets for the first time since 2022. The 26-year-old will be competing for TE2 duties with Jeremy Ruckert in New York behind rookie first-rounder Mason Taylor. Woods, a former third-round pick (73rd overall) in 2022, caught 25 of 40 targets for 312 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games (two starts) in his rookie season with Indy. However, a serious hamstring injury caused him to miss each of the last two years, causing the Colts to move on. Woods would only be worth a look on the waiver wire in fantasy this year if Taylor misses time with an injury.
