Travis Kelce vs Tyler Warren: Who Should You Start?

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Travis Kelce finished the 2025 season at 9.1 PPG over 17 games with the Kansas City Chiefs, while Tyler Warren clocked in at 8.9 across 17 appearances for the Indianapolis Colts. A 0.2-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. Travis Kelce had 76 catches for 851 yards; Tyler Warren posted 76 for 817. 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: Travis Kelce is off Week 6 and Tyler Warren Week 14. 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.

The Bottom Line

Travis Kelce outscored Tyler Warren by 0.2 PPG in 2025 (9.1 to 8.9). That production gap is the baseline, but weekly context shifts the answer. DraftCall analyzes matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and health data to deliver a clear start or sit recommendation backed by real reasoning.
