Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Mark Andrews

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce could feast in a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13. Kelce was third on the team in receiving yards last week against the Indianapolis Colts, but he's been one of the most productive tight ends in fantasy football this season. The veteran tight end is averaging 61.3 receiving yards per game this year, which would be third among tight ends, just behind Trey McBride and Brock Bowers. Kelce has enjoyed a resurgent season after a disappointing 2024 year from a production standpoint. Kelce will now face a Cowboys defense that is middle-of-the-pack in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, but he should find more success than most. The Cowboys offense should be able to put up points against the Kansas City defense, which would translate into more receiving opportunities for Kelce. Kelce is ranked TE5 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a rock-solid TE1 start for Thanksgiving Day.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews put up a dud in Week 12 after a three-game stretch where he finished as the TE5, TE9, and TE4 in half-PPR formats. Before that stretch, he only had one other TE1 finish. In Week 13, however, Andrews and the Ravens take on the Cincinnati Bengals. They're ranked last against opposing tight ends in fantasy, and give up an average of 22.80 fantasy points per game to the position. The second-worst team gives up 17.50 on average, so the Bengals have been especially bad. In fact, they're the only team that has given up close to 1,000 receiving yards and more than seven touchdowns (13). So, Andrews holds TE1 value once again.
