Better Keeper - Kelce or Big Ben

[Sam]

12 team, Non-PPR, QB TDs are 4pts (everything else is 6)

Would you rather have:

Travis Kelce - 11th round keeper
or
Big Ben - 13th round keeper

Most of the TE's will be on the board (Gronk, Graham, etc all available). I think Luck and Wilson will be the only QB keepers.

Give me Ben. You can either draft a QB early or a TE early, usually it's not a good idea to draft both early. Taking Ben gives you a solid starter if you choose to wait on QB and take a stud TE early. Or you can just load up on RBs & WRs. I don't usually draft a back-up TE so for me Kelce would be my starter. I'd rather have Ben because I trust the Steelers offense more than I do the Chiefs.

[Hornsby]

QB's are a dime a dozen, but Ben could be top three again, so yeah, keep him.

Thanks guys - If this was 6pts/TD I think it would be a no brainer. Wasn't sure if the 4pt/TD lessened his impact.

Sorry, I'd take Kelce pretty easily.

If you pass on a top TE and wait on them, you may end up with the likes of Kyle Rudolph, Tyler Eifert or Larry Donnell as your starter -- essentially guys who could very quickly become waiver wire fodder and you'll be chasing TEs all season long. In a 12-team, 1 -QB league, if you wait on QBs, you'd still end up with an Eli Manning, Ryan Tannehill, Matt Stafford -- guys who could pass for 4,000+ yards and have 30+ TDs.

I love Big Ben in a redraft, where you can get Top 6 QB stats late, but I'm taking Kelce here every time.

Agreed. Kelce should be a top 3 TE in a shallow TE pool. While I like Ben and am targeting him after the biggies are gone at the position, there's till value at QB to be had later unlike at TE

It is reasonable to choose either, but I lean Kelce because of this rationale.

Hey, I have rationale! There's a first for everything!

Broken clock, twice a day, etc.
