Who Should I Start? Charlie Kolar or Feleipe Franks

Baltimore Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar (arm) has been placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. As expected, Kolar is going to miss significant time after breaking his arm during last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Kolar has a chance to return before the end of the regular season, but we'll wait and see how he progresses. The absence of Kolar won't mean too much for this offense going forward. It should mean a few more snaps for Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews down the stretch of the season, but should only give some a slight uptick in value.

The Carolina Panthers have promoted tight end Feleipe Franks from the practice squad to the active roster. Franks saw limited action in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers, playing just one offensive snap as starting tight end Tommy Tremble was active. A one-year starter at Arkansas, Franks spent three years at the University of Florida before signing with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent in 2021. After playing quarterback, he transitioned to tight end in 2022. Atlanta waived him in 2023, then joined the Panthers in 2024. Franks started the season on the active roster, was briefly released, and then signed to the practice squad, where he contributed as a standard elevation last week. He has already made his mark on special teams, and with Ian Thomas (calf) on IR until early October and Jordan Matthews released, Franks is poised to take on a depth role for Carolina.
