Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Tucker Kraft

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.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft posted an excellent performance during Thursday's game against the Washington Commanders. Kraft was quiet with a 16-yard performance in the season opener, but looked unstoppable here. He hauled in six of his seven targets for 124 yards and one touchdown in the win. It was his first career 100-yard game as he also led the team in receptions, receiving yards, and targets. It's worth noting that the departure of Jayden Reed (shoulder) likely contributed to Kraft's increase in usage. The status of Reed for Week 3 should have some impact on Kraft's value for that one. Regardless, Kraft is looking like an appealing option for that Week 3 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
