Who Should I Start? Chig Okonkwo or Colston Loveland

Wednesday, November 19, 8:56 PM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) was listed as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. He continues to manage a foot issue that limited him during practice last week. However, Okonkwo still played during last week's game against the Houston Texans. He hauled in all three of his targets for 56 yards in the loss. He figures to be fine for Week 12, but Gunnar Helm would see an expanded role if Okonkwo was unable to play against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend.

Chicago Bears rookie first-round tight end Colston Loveland had a breakout performance in the Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, catching six of seven targets for 118 yards and the first two touchdowns of his career. In two games since then, the 21-year-old out of Michigan has seven grabs for 95 yards and no touchdowns on his eight targets. His role in Chicago's passing game has grown over the last four games, although fellow TE Cole Kmet remains involved, as evidenced by his five catches for 45 yards on Sunday. Kmet's presence will continue to limit Loveland's opportunities, but a Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers will provide him with another chance to break out. The Steelers' defense has allowed the fourth-most half-PPR points per game to TEs this year, including six receiving touchdowns.
