Who Should I Start? Cole Kmet or Kyle Pitts

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet hasn't been a reliable fantasy option throughout the 2024-25 campaign. He finished last year by catching a career-high 73 passes for 719 yards while amassing six touchdowns. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old has struggled this season, totaling 45 grabs for 471 yards and four touchdowns. To be fair, the Bears offense hasn't been the best. However, Kmet can't be trusted in Week 18 versus the Packers, so fantasy managers can keep him out of the lineup. The same can be said for those considering his services for DFS contests.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (foot) has been sitting out of voluntary organized team activities this spring with a muscle strain in his foot. Reports surfaced this offseason that teams have approached the Falcons about trading for Pitts. ESPN's Adam Schefter doesn't think the Falcons are looking to trade the 24-year-old former first-rounder, but they aren't turning away calls, either. Schefter goes on to say that if another team offers enough for Pitts, that the Falcons "could be enticed" to trade him. Complicating matters is the fact that he's due $11 million 2025, and there might not be many teams lining up to give both the Falcons and Pitts what they want as he heads into the final year of his deal. Pitts' fantasy stock has been falling since his impressive rookie season, and an offseason injury and trade speculation don't do anything to help that. Until further notice, he's dropped to high-end TE2 status.
