Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Nick Vannett

The Kansas City Chiefs and All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce agreed to terms on Monday on an undisclosed two-year contract extension to make him the league's highest-paid tight end, according to sources. The deal was completed by his long-time agent, Mike Simon. Still one of the best tight ends in football at age 34, the former third-round pick in 2013 out of Cincinnati has been a Pro Bowler in each of the last nine seasons and finished the 2023 regular season with 93 catches (121 targets) for 984 yards and five touchdowns in 15 starts. The four-time All-Pro selection is still a high-end TE1 for fantasy purposes coming off back-to-back Super Bowl championships, but he's also much more of an injury risk than he's ever been.

The Los Angeles Chargers signed tight end Nick Vannett to their active roster on Wednesday. Vannett had been on the team's practice squad since the end of August but is now in line to make his first appearance for the Chargers in Week 9. Vannett will provide some depth at the position with Gerald Everett (hip) dealing with a hip injury that held him out of Week 8. Vannett has been in the NFL since being a third-round pick in 2016 and has accumulated 90 catches for 874 yards and six touchdowns over his career.
