Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Tyler Higbee

Saturday, October 11, 2:07 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Kelce had his best game of the season in Week 5, catching seven passes for 61 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kelce's seven catches were a season-high, and his 61 receiving yards matched his season-high set in Week 2. Kelce also found the endzone for the first time since Week 1. His production has trended back up since his 26-yard performance in Week 3, and fantasy managers hope he can continue this momentum into Sunday night against Detroit. The Lions have the highest-powered offense in the league, and the Chiefs will be without Rashee Rice for another week, so Kelce should be heavily involved in the short to intermediate areas of the field. Kelce has been the safety blanket for Patrick Mahomes for many years, and he should continue playing that role in a game where the Chiefs will need to score often. Kelce is ranked TE9 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a TE1 in what could be the highest-scoring game of the week.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Higbee will be back in action after missing Week 5 and being a limited participant in practice this week. Heading into Week 6, Higbee has six receptions for 62 yards and zero touchdowns. It's worth noting that Higbee could see increased playing time with Colby Parkinson (concussion) banged up. Despite that, Higbee hasn't done enough on the field to give fantasy managers a reason to start him this weekend.
