The NFL playoffs are in full swing, and eight teams remain in the hunt for a Lombardi Trophy. Even though the fantasy football season has been over for a couple of weeks, you can still create the best fantasy lineups by entering DFS contests.
When creating your fantasy lineups for the Divisional Round, you will likely have to make a tough decision at tight end. Do you spend up and pay for a top tight end like Travis Kelce? If not, you can settle for value plays like Dalton Kincaid and Dalton Schultz.
So, should you start Kelce, Kincaid, and Schultz in fantasy football this weekend? Let's dive in and find out.
Should I Start Travis Kelce for Fantasy Football?
Kelce will be a safe fantasy option in the Divisional Round against the Texans. Although he scored only eight PPR fantasy points against this Houston defense just a couple of weeks ago, the veteran tight end always seems to show out in the playoffs. Kelce has scored above 18 PPR fantasy points in 12 of his last 13 postseason games.
Travis Kelce's All-Time Ranks in the Playoffs:
🔴 165 Receptions (1st)
🔴 1,903 Rec Yards (2nd)
🔴 19 Rec TDs (2nd)
🔴 86.5 YPG (4th) pic.twitter.com/5WuZJgy4Mx— NFL on Prime Video (@NFLonPrime) January 15, 2025
As a result, it might be worth it to pay up on Kelce in DFS contests. The Chiefs playmaker has seen at least seven targets in five of the past six games, and Houston has allowed three receiving touchdowns to the position in three of the past five weeks.
Should I Start Dalton Kincaid for Fantasy Football?
It might be tough to rely on Dalton Kincaid in DFS contests this weekend. Since returning from a knee injury in Week 15, Kincaid has played under 50% of the team's offensive snaps in four straight games. Last week, he played only 38% of the team's offensive snaps and totaled just 7.7 PPR fantasy points.

Now, he'll go up against a much improved Ravens defense in the Divisional Round. Baltimore has allowed only two tight ends to score above 10 PPR fantasy points since Week 11. Therefore, Kincaid might not be the best tight end start in DFS contests.
Should I Start Dalton Schultz for Fantasy Football?
Dalton Schultz has not been a strong fantasy option for most of the season. He has scored in double figures in PPR formats just twice this year while catching three passes or fewer in four of the past five contests. However, Schultz can be a value play in DFS contests this weekend against the Chiefs.
Dalton Schultz inked a $36 million extension this offseason and proceeded to post five-year lows in receptions, yards and touchdowns despite not missing any time and having the Texans' top-three WRs miss a combined 17 games throughout the season. Not great!

Kansas City allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in the regular season, and Schultz had one of his best games against the Chiefs a couple of weeks ago. The Texans playmaker totaled five catches for 45 yards and one touchdown in that game en route to a 15.5 PPR fantasy point day. So, he can be a sneaky start in DFS contests this weekend.
