Who Should I Start? Cole Kmet or Tyler Warren

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet had a very quiet game in Week 6 against the Washington Commanders, recording one catch for zero yards on two targets. With fellow Bears tight end Colston Loveland sidelined by a hip injury, Kmet saw a brief target spike (nine) in Week 4. However, with Loveland back in the lineup against Washington after Chicago's Week 5 bye, it appears Kmet will have a hard time earning the target volume needed for consistent fantasy production. Through five games this season, Kmet has eight catches for 116 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets. He should remain off of fantasy radars unless Loveland were to go down with another injury.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren turned in another strong performance in a Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals, catching six of his nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown. With 29 catches for 370 yards and three all-purpose touchdowns through six games, Warren has cemented himself as a no-brainer top-six tight end in fantasy for the remainder of the season. He will look to keep it going in a Week 7 road matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers have been tough on tight ends in fantasy this season, allowing just the 26th-most fantasy points per game to the position through six games. That being said, Warren has been too dominant to treat as anything other than a top-three fantasy option at his position for Week 7.
