Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Mike Gesicki

Saturday, December 6, 5:29 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will have his hands full against the Houston Texans in Week 14. Kelce caught five passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Despite the loss, the veteran tight end put forth an excellent fantasy performance, and he should be relied upon to do the same against Houston this week. The Texans defense has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season, but Kelce is no average tight end, and his usage in the Kansas City offense sets him apart. Kelce has at least six targets in four of his last five games, with three touchdowns in that span. Kelce is ranked TE4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a top-end option at the position once again.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki has six catches on 10 targets for 54 yards and no touchdowns in his first two games back from Injured Reserve. Gesicki caught four of six targets for a season-high 35 yards in his first game back in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots, and he followed that up with a two-catch, 19-yard game on Thanksgiving Day last Thursday in the win over the Baltimore Ravens. Fellow tight ends Tanner Hudson, Drew Sample, and Noah Fant all had one catch apiece, combining for 31 receiving yards. The 30-year-old Gesicki has yet to find the end zone in eight games played in 2025 in his second year in Cincy, and it's probably going to be difficult for him to produce every week with Hudson, Sample, and Fant all involved. That will especially be the case whenever receiver Tee Higgins returns from a concussion. Heading into Week 14 against the Bills, Gesicki should be considered a low-end TE2/high-end TE3 in fantasy.
