Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Tyreek Hill

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday in Week 1. Kelce had a down year in 2024, finishing as the TE5 in total points and TE7 in points-per-game in PPR. The 35-year-old was still able to produce TE1 numbers, but he did not provide the positional advantage that he had in years past. The Chiefs tight end now enters 2025 in better shape, perhaps in preparation for his upcoming wedding, and looks to bounce back from a statistical standpoint. Kelce was drafted as the TE5 in most leagues this draft season, but he could beat that position if the Kansas City offense returns to its high-octane play style. The Chiefs will also be without star wideout Rashee Rice, which should set Kelce up for even more production to begin the season. The Chargers were decent against opposing tight ends last season, but Kelce is not your average tight end, and Kansas City knows how to scheme him open. Kelce should be considered a strong TE1 in their first game of the season.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (oblique) will be listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday and has been ramping up his activity ahead of Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Hill missed over three weeks during training camp this summer with an oblique injury, but the speedy 31-year-old returned to practice last week and has been ramping up since then. Barring a setback on Thursday or Friday, the Cheetah should be ready to go for the regular-season opener this weekend. Fantasy managers would feel a lot better if Hill is able to upgrade to full practice partcipation by Friday. If Hill is a full-go on Sunday without any limitations, he should be considered a must-start as at least a high-end WR2 as he looks to bounce back from a frustrating 2024 campaign.
