Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Cole Kmet

Sunday, December 15, 10:06 PM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught all four of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Henry has been the most productive pass-catcher in the Patriots' offense, and while he did lead the team in receptions on Sunday, his yardage total was lower than expected. This was Henry's worst fantasy performance since Week 10 and just his second-worst showing since Drake Maye took over as the starting quarterback. He also finished with fewer fantasy points than Austin Hooper for the third time in New England's last five games. Fantasy managers should view Henry as a fringe top-12 fantasy option against the Buffalo Bills in Week 16, and he's no longer a must-start option.

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.
