Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Nick Vannett

Monday, September 18, 2:41 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught 4-of-9 targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 33-year-old, ticketed for a "pitch count" in his 2023 debut, was surprisingly uninvolved in the first half for one seven-yard catch on two targets when the Chiefs could have used a boost. Kelce played the majority of the first-half snaps, but subbed out more frequently than usual. The superstar made a nice move to find some space for a nine-yard score, though, to complete an impressive Chiefs scoring drive to start the second half. Fantasy managers should be satisfied with the outcome, considering Kelce was not present for his customary quota of snaps, and better days are ahead for the four-time All-Pro. Those may arrive as soon as Week 3's smash spot at home versus the 0-2 Chicago Bears, who have yielded productive outings to Luke Musgrave and Cade Otton in the initial two weeks.
