Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Cole Kmet

Saturday, December 21, 4:26 PM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz found the end zone for the second time in three weeks Saturday at Kansas City, ultimately ending the day with five catches for 45 yards and a score. The veteran tight end was targeted eight times, which was second on the team behind receiver Nico Collins. Most importantly for managers who roster Schultz, Houston might have lost another receiver in Tank Dell (knee), who had to be carted off with what appeared to be a significant injury. Receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) is already out for the season, so more tight end targets could be in order for Houston. Schultz and the Texans now have a short week prior to taking on Baltimore on Christmas Day.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet once again was an afterthought in the team's lackluster offense in the Monday night loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, catching his only target for a pickup of 14 yards. Kmet was on the field plenty -- he played 93 percent of the offensive snaps on the evening -- but rookie quarterback Caleb Williams continued to rely mostly on his three receivers in Keenan Allen, DJ Moore and rookie Rome Odunze. In the last three games, Kmet has just four receptions on four targets (he didn't have a target in Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers) for 40 yards and no touchdowns. He hasn't scored a touchdown since a two-TD performance in Week 6 and has 16 receptions for 159 yards and no TDs in six games since the team's bye. Fantasy managers still alive in the playoffs should look for a better TE option in Week 16 when Chicago faces the division-rival Detroit Lions.
