Who Should I Start? Cole Kmet or Isaiah Likely

Tuesday, September 23, 9:19 PM

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet was targeted just once in his team's Week 3 win over the Dallas Cowboys, but he made it count with a 10-yard touchdown grab. Kmet now has four catches for 70 yards and a touchdown on seven targets through the first three games of 2025. Perhaps most importantly for Kmet's fantasy outlook, Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland (hip) suffered a hip injury in Week 3. Loveland's injury is not considered serious, and he reportedly has a chance to play in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Still, Kmet could be a low-end streaming option in deep leagues in Week 4 if Loveland is sidelined.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) was listed as a limited participant during the team's walk-through practice on Wednesday, according to the team. A foot injury has kept Likely out for the first three games of the 2025 season, but head coach John Harbaugh is hoping that the 25-year-old will be able to make his season debut in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday. Likely's return will be bad news for Mark Andrews, who broke out for six catches, 91 yards, and two touchdowns in Monday night's loss to the Detroit Lions after catching just two passes for seven yards the first two weeks. Likely will almost certainly be on a snap count if he returns this weekend in a bad matchup, so he would not be a recommended fantasy play. When fully healthy and sharing time with Andrews, Likely will be a touchdown-dependent TE2 in Baltimore's high-scoring offense.
