Who Should I Start? Kyle Pitts Sr. or Colston Loveland

Saturday, December 6, 11:59 AM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. recorded his largest yardage total of the season in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets, hauling in seven of his eight targets for 82 yards. With top receiver Drake London (knee) missing the last couple of games and also Week 8, the 6-foot-6 tight end has been Kirk Cousins' favorite target, looking his way a total of 22 times in those three contests. With London ruled out for Week 14 as well, the 25-year-old could again be the team's top receiving weapon, especially against the Seahawks, a defense that has been generally good against the pass, but that has given up the fourth-most PPR fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. The drawback here is that Pitts has one touchdown all season and has failed to garner a red zone target in four consecutive weeks now. Be that as it may, the former first-round draft pick still projects as a mid-range TE1 based on volume alone in this favorable matchup at home.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland should see an improved target share in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. The 2025 first-round pick has stuttered as of late, totaling just 14 receptions for 172 yards and a touchdown in his last four games. Despite his high draft capital and immense upside, veteran Cole Kmet continues to out-snap the rookie, playing 69% of the snaps in Week 14, while Loveland played just 60%. With Rome Odunze (foot) ruled out for Week 14, the Bears could rely on two-TE sets a lot against the Packers, especially with star pass rusher Micah Parsons demanding double-teams. The Packers have allowed the 12th fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season, but this all comes down to whether the Bears can add more passing volume in Week 14. Loveland offers low-end starting upside in Week 14, who should be a top target in the red zone with Odunze out.
