Tight End

Kelce or Hooper/Toilolo?

Had this been a few seasons ago when Chiefs legend Tony Gonzalez was still in Atlanta, then this wouldn’t have even been a contest. Ever since Gonzalez retired, however, the Falcons haven’t had a steady man at tight end.

Jacob Tamme was having himself a decent season this year until he hit the injured reserve list, and now rookie Austin Hooper and Levine Toilolo have been the two taking his place.

Hooper has one start to his name and recorded 257 yards and two touchdowns. Toilolo has made six starts and has eight grabs for 145 yards and two scores.

Travis Kelce is better than either option the Falcons have. Kelce has been dropping the football a lot more recently, but this is still a game in which he’s the better tight end by a mile.

Advantage: Kansas City
