Who Should I Start? Mo Alie-Cox or Cole Kmet

Wednesday, August 23, 9:57 AM

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (foot) returned to practice Tuesday. The 29-year-old had been sporting a boot earlier in training camp. Upon his return, he took reps with the second-team offense. Alie-Cox was a sleeper candidate in 2022 but failed to live up to expectations. When the season came to a close, the veteran tallied just 19 receptions for 189 yards and three touchdowns. With a crowded tight end room in Indianapolis, Alie-Cox could be a potential cut candidate. He is not worth drafting in fantasy football this season.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will look to jump-start a slumping Bears offense against the defending champion Chiefs in Week 3. Kmet has been solid, if unspectacular, through the first two games with nine catches for 82 yards and 13 targets. Kmet has really struggled blocking for quarterback Justin Fields and has had a hand in the Bears dismal offensive effort to start the season. He will face a Chiefs defense that has already allowed two tight ends to post six-plus fantasy points against them. Those are not week-winning numbers but fantasy managers could do worse from the tight end position. Kmet will have a decent shot at posting top-12 fantasy numbers among tight ends in Week 3.
