Who Should I Start? Colston Loveland or Harold Fannin Jr.

Wednesday, November 5, 10:29 AM

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland broke out in a big way in Week 9, catching six of seven targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals. The highlight came on a 58-yard game-winning touchdown, capping off a monster performance that pushed Chicago to a 5-3 record. With Cole Kmet exiting early due to a concussion, Loveland stepped in as the primary tight end, logging 79% of the offensive snaps. Now, with Kmet still in concussion protocol entering Week 10, Loveland could once again handle a full workload against the New York Giants, who have allowed the ninth-most passing yards in the NFL this season. If Kmet remains sidelined, Loveland is a must-start fantasy option across all formats, offering TE1 upside in Week 10.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) missed practice on Thursday and was limited in Friday's session ahead of a Week 10 road matchup against the New York Jets. Fannin was on bye in Week 9, so it is unclear when exactly the rookie picked up the ailment. Officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game, Fannin would go up against a Jets defense that is allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends if he ultimately ends up playing. If Fannin is unable to give it a go, David Njoku would see an increased workload and could be treated as a solid mid-range TE1 in fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers counting on Fannin will want to monitor the news leading up to kickoff at 1:00 PM EST on Sunda,y as he could end up as a game-time decision. If Fannin plays, he will be on the fantasy radar as a solid TE2.
