Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Trey McBride

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce took accountability after colliding with second-year wideout Xavier Worthy on the opening drive of the season. The collision left Worthy with a dislocated shoulder that sidelined him for the rest of the game. "There is no excuse for me running into my own guys like that," Kelce admitted on the New Heights Podcast. Worthy's early exit appeared to rattle the Chiefs' offense. Without his speed to stretch the field, the Los Angeles Chargers defense was able to apply pressure on Patrick Mahomes, limiting Kansas City's explosive plays and ultimately sealing a win. With Worthy's recovery timeline still unclear, the Chiefs will look to Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster to carry the receiving load, while Kelce is expected to play an even bigger role in the passing attack.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride has improved his numbers each year over the first three seasons of his career. Last season, he finished with 111 receptions for 1,146 yards and two touchdowns on 147 targets. He finished as the TE2, despite having the fewest touchdowns among the top 11 at his position. A positive regression seems to be plausible when it comes to that department, and given good health, he should be able to produce 100 catches and over a thousand yards yet again. In Week 1, RotoBaller has him projected to score 13.1 fantasy points, which would leave him second to only Brock Bowers. As long as he's on the field, McBride is a must-start in all fantasy formats.
