Cole Kmet Doubtful to Return in Week 7

Sunday, October 19, 4:01 PM

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (back) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New Orleans Saints. He is officially listed as doubtful to return. At the time of his departure, he had just one catch for 16 yards. While the team hasn't officially ruled out a Kmet return, it appears unlikely that he'll get back into the game. As a result, rookie Colston Loveland will take over as the Bears' primary tight end. Loveland could be a solid TE2 going forward, especially if Kmet misses time. Fantasy managers invested in either Bears tight end should monitor the team's practice reports leading up to Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Mason Taylor Draws Five Targets in Jets Loss

Tuesday, October 21, 8:32 AM

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor bounced back a little bit from a one-catch game in London, hauling in three of his five targets on Sunday for 31 yards. The second-round pick played 93% of the snaps for the Jets and has been almost an every-down option for New York the last few weeks. With Garrett Wilson (knee) out, Taylor finished second on the team with five targets behind only Josh Reynolds, who drew nine targets from Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor. Neither quarterback made the offense look great, but Taylor is involved enough to be worth a look if you need help from the waiver wire at tight end, especially if Wilson is out another week. Taylor and the 0-7 Jets visit the Bengals this week before their Week 9 bye week. The Bengals have been the most generous matchup in the NFL for tight ends this season, so Taylor has upside to consider as a one-week solution.
