Start Tucker Kraft or Travis Kelce? Week 7

Our Week 7 call

Start Tucker Kraft over Travis Kelce in Week 7.

Market-based projections have Tucker Kraft at 11.5 points and Travis Kelce at 12.5, a gap of 1.0. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. Tucker Kraft still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player, ADP 104 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.
