Tight End

Travis Kelce or C.J. Fiedorowicz?

Kelce is the better tight end in this match-up and he has straight up TORCHED the Texans during his two games against them.

This one is a no brainer. Travis Kelce is the obvious answer here.

I actually had to look up who Houston’s starting tight end was because I seriously could not think of who it was. My first thought was Owen Daniels, but then I remembered he was with the Broncos last season. In fact, Daniels hasn’t played for the Texans in three years!

So yeah… Kelce is the better tight end in this match-up and he has straight up TORCHED the Texans during his two games against them.

Kelce caught all six of his targets in the season opener and ran for 106 yards and two touchdowns. He followed that up with a nice eight catch and 128 yard performance in the playoffs.

C.J. Fiedorowicz, on the other hand, has had just over 200 yards receiving and two touchdowns in his two full seasons (including last week’s game). He’s not on Travis Kelce’s level just yet.

Watch him have a huge game against the Chiefs though, knowing my luck.

Advantage: Kansas City
