Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Michael Mayer

Monday, October 2, 2:46 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught 6-of-9 targets for 60 yards in Week 4's close 23-20 win over the New York Jets. Kelce looked well on his way to a big night after a quick start saw him grab two passes for 29 yards on the game's opening possession, but he made only one more eight-yard reception during the first half. He corralled his first pass since early in the first period during the third quarter's late stages before bringing in a few more looks amid a late 14-play field-goal drive. After tight ends picked on New York's defensive shortcomings in recent weeks, Kelce wasn't able to take much advantage of an inside-funnel pass defense on a night quarterback Patrick Mahomes was made very uncomfortable in the pocket. Look for the 33-year-old perennial Pro Bowler to make more noise during Week 5 against a shaky Minnesota Vikings defense.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer had two first-quarter catches in Saturday's preseason matchup with the Cowboys, finishing with 20 receiving yards. Mayer has reportedly had a promising training camp and will look to contribute alongside fellow newcomer TE Austin Hooper for the Raiders this season. Temper expectations for Mayer to start the season, who should be drafted as a low-end TE2.
