Kyle Pitts vs Travis Kelce: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Kyle Pitts finished the 2025 season at 9.8 PPG over 17 games with the Atlanta Falcons, while Travis Kelce clocked in at 9.1 across 17 appearances for the Kansas City Chiefs. A 0.7-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Kyle Pitts had 88 catches for 928 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.
One scheduling note: Kyle Pitts is off Week 12 and Travis Kelce Week 6. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
