Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Kyle Pitts

Monday, September 25, 1:37 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught 7-of-8 targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Week 3's 41-10 smackdown of the Chicago Bears. The 33-year-old was just out of arm's reach on a potential first-quarter touchdown after a pass glanced off his fingertips in the back of the end zone. But Kelce was able to shake a defender for some open space on a similar route for a short score later during the third period, much to the delight of fantasy managers, and even Taylor Swift from an Arrowhead Stadium suite. This one got ugly in a hurry, diminishing the overall upside of all K.C. skill positions with a commanding 34-0 lead at halftime, but Kelce managed a satisfying fantasy afternoon before the Chiefs sat on the ball. The four-time All-Pro will likely be in a tier by himself among Week 4 TE1 plays once again on Sunday Night Football against the stumbling New York Jets.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts surprising saw an increase in usage during Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The young tight end hauled in five of his nine targets for 41 yards in the loss. This was the first game this season that Pitts has seen more than five targets in a single game. Sadly, quarterback Desmond Ridder overthrew him multiple times during this contest. That being said, Pitts probably won't have TE1 value too often this season. He'll be a mid-range TE2 for the Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
