Who Should I Start? Cole Kmet or Michael Mayer

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet had a standout performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6, recording five receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns. Both of his touchdowns came in the first half, providing the Bears' offense with crucial momentum that carried into the second half. Kmet showcased his strength on his first touchdown, powering through a defender en route to the end zone. His second touchdown featured a perfectly executed route in the red zone just before halftime. Additionally, Kmet stepped up as the team's emergency long snapper after Scott Daly injured his knee in the first quarter. The Bears will enjoy a bye week next week before taking on the Commanders in Week 8.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (personal) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury and illness list according to Field Yates of ESPN. Mayer has not suited up since Week 3 due to a personal matter and is now expected to miss more time. The Notre Dame product enjoyed a productive rookie campaign as he caught 27 passes for 304 yards and two scores. While Mayer remains away from the team, fantasy managers should expect rookie Brock Bowers to continue to see the vast majority of snaps at the position and remain a high-end option for the foreseeable future.
