Should I start Kendrick Bourne or Travis Kelce in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Kendrick Bourne, and the board ranks him 127th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Travis Kelce, and the board ranks him 128th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Kendrick Bourne is 1.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Travis Kelce is 2.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Kendrick Bourne's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Side by side

In 2025 Travis Kelce scored 11.4 PPR points a game and Kendrick Bourne 5.8, 5.6 a game between them.

Kendrick Bourne finished WR68 and Travis Kelce TE3, which are two different ladders.

Kendrick Bourne is a wide receiver and Travis Kelce a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Kendrick Bourne is off in Week 14 and Travis Kelce in Week 5, so either can cover the other's bye.
