Start Dallas Goedert or Travis Kelce? Week 7

Our Week 7 call

Start Dallas Goedert over Travis Kelce in Week 7.

Market-based projections have Dallas Goedert at 11.1 points and Travis Kelce at 12.5, a gap of 1.4. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. Dallas Goedert still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player, ADP 121 against 113, and that outweighs a gap this size. No player market is posted for Travis Kelce this week yet, so his 12.5 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 4 and 6 (12.3 and 12.7); the call is rebuilt when his market posts.
