Who Should I Start? Cole Kmet or Terrance Ferguson

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He was limited to begin the week, but has been cleared to play after getting in back-to-back full practice sessions. Despite being active, Kmet hasn't been much of a factor in the offense lately. In fact, Kmet has been held to one reception in each of his last four games. He continues to split up reps with Colston Loveland who has been the much better fantasy option. At the moment, it's tough to imagine Kmet having much fantasy value going forward. He'll be a touchdown-dependent option for Week 11.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson has an opportunity to ascend into a larger role during Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ferguson has struggled to carve out a significant snap share this season, but he could make that leap this week after Tyler Higbee (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. The rookie will likely operate as the Rams' No. 2 tight end behind Colby Parkinson, primarily serving as a big-yardage threat downfield. He has five catches on 11 targets this season, and he's averaging a whopping 27.6 yards per reception. The 22-year-old hasn't produced these big catches consistently enough to warrant starting him in fantasy football, but he's inching closer to a fantasy-relevant role with Higbee now sidelined. In the short term, Ferguson ranks as the overall TE34 in RotoBaller's Week 12 fantasy rankings.
