Should I Start Max Klare?

Saturday, August 15, 7:10 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Max Klare caught seven of his eight targets for 37 yards during Saturday's preseason contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. Klare, a second-round pick, made a huge impression during his NFL preseason debut. He fetched targets from both Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson, and while he showed a decent rapport with both, he definitely clicked more with Simpson, the Rams' first-round pick out of Alabama. Klare and Simpson will be a duo to watch for several years to come, but it could take a little while for them to emerge as weekly fantasy threats. Simpson is waiting in the wings behind Matthew Stafford at quarterback, and Klare is a bit buried on the tight end depth chart behind Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, and Terrance Ferguson. Nevertheless, there's long-term appeal here, as the Ohio State product ranks as the TE23 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
