Who Should I Start? Cole Kmet or Tanner Conner

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.

In the TE3 range for Week 9, Miami Dolphins tight end Tanner Conner should not be considered a starting option when Miami takes on the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. The fourth-year tight end is playing more with Darren Waller (pectoral) on injured reserve, but isn't earning nearly enough work in the passing game to be relied upon in a fantasy lineup. Despite Waller missing significant chunks of the season, Conner has played more than half of Miami's snaps only once in eight weeks and has yet to catch more than two passes in a game this season. As Miami leans on receiver Jaylen Waddle, running back De'Von Achane, and receiver Malik Washington for the majority of its targets, there isn't enough receiving opportunity for Conner to be a fantasy option.
