Jonnu Smith Has Some Upside Against Bengals

Saturday, November 15, 12:17 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith had his worst showing of the season in Week 10 and will hope to be more involved against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. This matchup is as good as it gets for fantasy tight ends, as the Bengals have surrendered the most fantasy points, the most yards, and the most touchdowns to the position this season. When these division rivals met in Week 7, all three of Smith, Pat Freiermuth, and Darnell Washington found the end zone in a shootout. With Sunday's contest once again expected to be high-scoring, Smith could see additional looks from quarterback Aaron Rodgers as both offenses fight to keep pace. His floor remains extremely low, but fantasy managers can consider Smith as a streaming option with a fair amount of touchdown upside this week.

Cole Kmet is Avoidable for Week 11

Saturday, November 15, 6:31 PM

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He was limited to begin the week, but has been cleared to play after getting in back-to-back full practice sessions. Despite being active, Kmet hasn't been much of a factor in the offense lately. In fact, Kmet has been held to one reception in each of his last four games. He continues to split up reps with Colston Loveland who has been the much better fantasy option. At the moment, it's tough to imagine Kmet having much fantasy value going forward. He'll be a touchdown-dependent option for Week 11.
