Who Should I Start? Cole Kmet or Brock Bowers

Thursday, December 26, 11:25 PM

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet was a statistical no-show in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The fifth-year Bear saw zero passes go his way from quarterback Caleb Williams, marking his third game this season without a single target. Overall, the 25-year-old has caught 45 passes for 471 yards and four touchdowns over 16 games this season. Kmet's game disappointed fantasy managers who looked his direction this week, and he will likely continue to be minimally involved within the offense in Week 18's season finale against the Green Bay Packers.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers caught all seven of his targets for 77 yards during Sunday's Week 17 win over the New Orleans Saints. Along the way, Bowers set the record for most receiving yards by a rookie tight end in NFL history. Although he did break the record by passing Mike Ditka, who accomplished the feat in just 14 games compared to Bowers' 16, it's still an impressive accomplishment for the first-rounder out of Georgia. He also set the record for most receptions by a rookie in NFL history. The 22-year-old remains the overall TE1 in fantasy football, and he'll be a premier option at the position once more when the Raiders close out their season against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18.
