Who Should I Start? Charlie Kolar or Feleipe Franks

Baltimore Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar has scored a touchdown in two consecutive games, and he'll look to extend that streak in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. The 26-year-old is averaging just 0.8 catches per game this season, but he has three receptions and two touchdowns in his last two contests. The biggest obstacle between Kolar and a three-week touchdown streak is his role on the depth chart. He remains stuck behind productive tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. While Kolar has been able to get on the field for more than one-third of the snaps in each of the last four weeks, Lamar Jackson still prefers throwing to Andrews and Likely. Therefore, Kolar scoring a touchdown in Week 10 is far from a lock. He can be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Feleipe Franks caught all three of his targets for 24 yards, most of which came on a 23-yard catch and run that he was able to take in for a touchdown. Franks also caught one pass for nine yards last week and was not targeted in the first preseason game. He was battling Teagan Quitoriano for the third tight end spot behind Kyle Pitts Sr. and Charlie Woerner, and with Quitoriano not receiving a target in the preseason, Franks appears to have a leg up. Unfortunately, third-string tight ends don't have any value for fantasy, so no need to roster him in any leagues.
