Who Should I Start? Cole Kmet or Elijah Arroyo

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet could see an expanded role in Week 4. He scored a touchdown on his lone target in Week 3, bringing his season totals to four receptions for 70 yards and one touchdown through three games. With rookie Colston Loveland (hip) listed as questionable, Kmet may see more targets and opportunities against the Las Vegas Raiders, who have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. If Loveland plays, Kmet remains unstartable in fantasy. However, if Loveland sits, Kmet projects as a high-end TE2 for Week 4.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo has seen his snap share increase in each of the first four weeks of the 2025 NFL season, and he could continue to get even more involved in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie is coming off the best week of his young career, in which he caught two of four targets for 44 yards on a 55 percent snap share. With that said, he's still the No. 2 tight end in Seattle behind AJ Barner, who has two touchdowns this season and has played at least 85 percent of the snaps in three of four games. Nevertheless, even with Barner present, Arroyo has shown that he can carve out a modest role for himself -- and perhaps start to generate some low-end fantasy appeal in deeper leagues, too. This could be a decent week for Arroyo as the Buccaneers' defense is merely near the middle of the league, allowing the 16th-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2025.
