Who Should I Start? Charlie Kolar or Shane Zylstra

Friday, October 31, 1:06 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar caught two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 9 victory over the Miami Dolphins. The 26-year-old has now scored in back-to-back games, earning himself a larger role alongside established tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. While Kolar is clearly third on the depth chart, he should continue to handle more opportunities in the passing game, especially if he continues to score touchdowns. His snap share has already started to increase, as he played 46.4 percent of the offensive snaps Thursday. He was on the field for just two fewer plays than Andrews and five fewer plays than Likely, which isn't exactly a very sizable margin. Kolar isn't a fantasy threat, but he'll continue to be a thorn in the side of Andrews' and Likely's fantasy managers.

Detroit Lions tight end Shane Zylstra (ankle) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of his team's Week 2 contest against the Chicago Bears. Zylstra is the Lions' third-string tight end behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright. His absence may mean a slight uptick in snaps for the remainder of Week 2 for LaPorta.
