Who Should I Start? Cole Kmet or Harold Fannin Jr.

Friday, November 28, 9:00 PM

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet led the team in receiving on a day in which both running backs D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai went over 100 rushing yards apiece with two rushing touchdowns in a 24-15 win over the hosting Philadelphia Eagles on Friday. Kmet caught all three of his targets on the day for only 36 yards and his second touchdown of the year. Second-year quarterback Caleb Williams only threw for 154 yards as the Bears leaned heavily on the run against Philly. The 26-year-old Kmet's touchdown reception came on a 28-yard strike for the team's only passing TD of the game. It was nice to see Kmet find the end zone again, but rookie first-rounder Colston Loveland (who had three catches for 28 yards in the game) remains the more attractive upside stash in most fantasy leagues for the rest of the season. Kmet has more than one catch in just two of the last seven games.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. hauled in seven of his 14 targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Chicago Bears. For the second straight week, Fannin led the team in receptions and targets, and he had one carry for two yards. The Cleveland offense struggled to gain its footing in Chicago, but the dependable rookie tight end continues to provide fantasy managers with a safe PPR floor. Fannin has a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills' defense in Week 16, which has allowed the fewest points to tight ends this season. However, with David Njoku (knee) still dealing with an injury, Fannin is postured to remain a focal point and an offense that is engineering touches for him.
