Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Kylen Granson

Sunday, January 4, 2:18 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will look to finish out the season on a high note in a Week 18 matchup against a middle-of-the-road Las Vegas Raiders' defense. While Kelce hasn't been the fantasy superstar we've grown accustomed to for quite some time now, even at 36 years old, he's enjoying a productive season. Chris Oladokun's inexperience undoubtedly caps some of Kelce's ceiling, although the former didn't look totally overmatched in Week 17's loss to Denver. Moreover, Kelce led the team in yards (36), targets (six), and receptions (five) in that contest. This Sunday, he'll face a Raiders' defense that's been roughly league average. They'll also be without star defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee). With the veteran still a focal point, fantasy managers can rely on Kelce as a back-end TE1 for the matchup. He'll officially land as RotoBaller's PPR TE12 for his meeting with Las Vegas.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Kylen Granson could see an uptick in targets in Week 2 with Dallas Goedert (knee) officially being ruled out. In Philly's season opener against the Cowboys, Granson was the only other tight end besides Goedert to tally any targets, though it was just one which resulted in a one-yard catch. The Eagles' other option as a replacement is former sixth-round draft pick Grant Calcaterra, who did see more snaps (37) last week than Granson (17). With uncertainty at the position, neither of Philadelphia's backups seem like reliable fantasy options this week against Kansas City. Only consider them for deeper leagues.
