Travis Kelce Should Be Relied Upon In Vegas

Friday, October 2, 11:16 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will travel to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders in Week 4. Kelce appears to have found the fountain of youth because he's turned back the clock to start the 2026 season. The veteran tight end has looked explosive in open space and has now scored in back-to-back games. Kelce will look to continue his hot streak as the Chiefs face a tough Raiders defense. The Raiders will have the advantage of playing at home, but Kelce and the Chiefs are still road favorites. Kelce may not earn 10+ targets every week anymore, but he's still Patrick Mahomes' most trusted target when the field shrinks, giving him a good chance to score every week. Kelce is ranked TE5 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a solid TE1 this week. Fantasy managers should continue starting Kelce every week until he shows signs of regression.

Michael Mayer Unlikely to Move the Needle in Week 4

Friday, October 2, 12:58 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer is still getting targeted by Kirk Cousins, but Brock Bowers' return will cap his production against a tough Kansas City Chiefs defense in Week 4. Mayer was still on the field for over 70% of passing plays in Week 3 and caught a touchdown, but had just three receptions for 32 yards. Even with wide receiver Jack Bech (forearm) out for at least four games, Klint Kubiak's air attack will run through Bowers against a Chiefs passing defense that is allowing just 178.3 yards per game. Unless Bowers is sidelined again, Mayer doesn't produce enough week to week to move the needle in redraft fantasy leagues.
