Who Should I Start? Colston Loveland or Terrance Ferguson

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland was able to find the endzone in Week 14, hauling in four of five targets for 29 yards and the score In Week 14. With wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) out for last week's game, Loveland and other receivers saw a bigger workload in the 28-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Despite his high draft capital and stellar showing so far, the Bears continue to limit his role. Veteran Cole Kmet played 75% of the snaps last week, while the rookie played 59% of the snaps. He faces a Cleveland Browns defense that has been average against tight ends this season, but with a limited snap count and lack of passing volume from the Bears offense, Loveland is better left on the bench in Week 15.

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.
