Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Tyler Higbee

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Philadelphia Eagles in a Super Bowl rematch this Sunday. The 35-year-old reeled in just two passes for 47 yards and a touchdown in their Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. 37 of Kelce's 47 yards came on his long touchdown catch and run in the fourth quarter. Despite salvaging his fantasy day with a long scoring play, the usage for Kelce in last week's game was concerning, to say the least. Xavier Worthy was knocked out early in the first quarter when he and Kelce collided. Despite the loss of Worthy and the absence of Rashee Rice due to suspension, Kelce was still only targeted four times in 39 pass attempts for Patrick Mahomes. The veteran tight end will have to take on the Eagles, who held him to four catches for 39 yards in the Super Bowl. Kelce is ranked TE5 in our RotoBaller rankings this week, making him a mid-range TE1 despite the matchup. Kelce should still be considered a TE1, but his floor could be much lower than it has been in years past.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught all four of his targets for 37 yards during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. After occupying a relatively reduced role in the season opener, the veteran tight end was much more involved this past Sunday. His snap share jumped from 58 percent to 74 percent, and his target count jumped from zero to four. One possible reason for Higbee's emergence was the absence of Colby Parkinson (shoulder), who remains uncertain for Week 3. However, even when Parkinson returns, Higbee can have fantasy relevance. After all, the Rams are comfortable running two-tight end sets. Higbee ranks as a low-end TE2 heading into next week's clash against the Philadelphia Eagles.
