BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end TE1
ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers should start Travis Kelce in Week 3 against the Falcons, but with some concern.
It's challenging to bench a player of Kelce's caliber, but his recent performance, just one catch for five yards last week, it raises questions about his production.
The Falcons' defense has struggled against tight ends, giving Kelce a chance to bounce back. However, if he doesn't improve this week, managers may need to consider other options.
Travis Kelce just 1-5-0 in Week 2 but:
-Tackled inside the one-yard line before the tackle-eligible TD
-Had a really cool 41 yard catch-and-run called back on a hold pic.twitter.com/wdaITfdJaW— Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) September 16, 2024
While Kelce remains a top-tier tight end, continued underperformance could force fantasy managers to reevaluate his role. It's still being determined to justify benching him, but if his involvement in the offense remains limited, Week 4 might be the time to explore alternatives.
Start him in Week 3, but monitor his usage and targets.
