Who Should I Start? Colston Loveland or Tyler Warren

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland (hip) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie had been listed as questionable. He missed two practices before being able to log a limited session Friday, but it evidently wasn't quite enough for him to play this week. Loveland has operated in a depth role this season, catching just three of his six targets through three games. On the other hand, Cole Kmet has played at least 90 percent of the snaps in all three contests so far, so he remains an interesting fantasy option whose value will only increase with Loveland sidelined. Kmet should be viewed as a mid-range TE2 for the duration of Loveland's absence.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren has been one of the top rookies in the league this season. He stayed hot in a 40-6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5, catching all four of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the blowout win. Warren has now scored touchdowns in two straight games as he continues to operate as one of the top options in the Indy passing attack. The rookie will now turn his attention to a Week 6 home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have been a decent matchup for tight ends this season, allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to the position through five games. Warren sets up as a no-brainer TE1 in all fantasy leagues in Week 6.
