Who Should I Start? Cole Kmet or Elijah Arroyo

Wednesday, November 5, 9:27 PM

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (concussion) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This seems like positive news after Kmet was forced to exit early during last weekend's win over the Cincinnati Bengals due to a concussion. His absence forced rookie Colston Loveland into a bigger role and he took full advantage of it. Loveland hauled in six of his seven targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Regardless of Kmet's status, Loveland figures to have earned a larger role in this offense going forward. Kmet figures to take a backseat to Loveland even if he plays during the Week 10 matchup against the New York Giants.

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo recorded four catches for 42 yards on five targets in his team's Week 7 win over the Houston Texans. That marked just the second time Arroyo has eclipsed 40 receiving yards in a game this season. Overall, he's recorded 11 catches for 140 yards on 17 targets across the first seven games of his NFL career. Arroyo appears to be firmly behind AJ Barner on the Seahawks' tight end depth chart, as his snap counts have been closer to Seattle TE3 Eric Saubert's than Barner's. As long as that continues, Arroyo is unlikely to be a consistently fantasy-relevant player.
