Brock Bowers vs Travis Kelce: Who Should You Start?
Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Brock Bowers (Las Vegas Raiders) finished the 2025 season averaging 12.0 fantasy points per game in 12 games. Travis Kelce (Kansas City Chiefs) came in at 9.1 PPG over 17 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Brock Bowers carries a 2.9-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Brock Bowers had 64 catches for 680 yards; Travis Kelce posted 76 for 851. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.
Brock Bowers has his bye in Week 10, and Travis Kelce rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
