Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Cole Kmet

Monday, November 27, 9:07 AM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (forearm) is pushing to play Sunday when the Eagles host the San Francisco 49ers. The tight end has missed two games with a fractured forearm, but a bye week mixed in has given him extra time to recover. If he's not able to make it back against San Francisco, a return for the Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys seems fairly certain. In his place, the Eagles have been starting Jack Stoll, who hasn't done anything of relevance for fantasy football. Wide receiver DeVonta Smith has been the biggest beneficiary, averaging over 100 yards per game in Goedert's absence. Keep an eye on injury updates throughout the week for Goedert.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet caught all seven of his targets for 43 yards in the team's 12-10 win over the Vikings in Week 12. This was the fourth time this season the Notre Dame alum finished with more than five catches in a game, but he was limited to just 43 yards, and 24 of those came on one reception. The 24-year-old trailed only DJ Moore in targets and has seen seven or more targets in four of the last five games. His production has been pretty stable with both Tyson Bagent and Justin Fields under center, but his ceiling is higher with Fields because of how much Fields elevates the offense's potential. The Bears are off in Week 13 and get the Lions again in Week 14, who allow the 13th-most points per game to tight ends this year. Kmet remains a solid TE1 option going forward.
