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

Friday, April 11, 10:54 AM

The Indianapolis Colts have re-signed tight end Mo Alie-Cox to a one-year deal on Friday. Alie-Cox is headed back to Indy for a eighth straight season. In 2024, Alie-Cox finished with 12 receptions for 147 yards and one touchdown in 17 games (13 starts) with the Colts. At this point, Alie-Cox is mainly depth as the Colts are likely to target a tight end during the upcoming NFL Draft. Regardless, it's hard to imagine Alie-Cox having fantasy value considering he hasn't posted a season with over 200 receiving yards since 2021. This appears to be a depth signing as Alie-Cox knows the system and the organization well.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (ankle, knee) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 16 against the division-rival Green Bay Packers on Saturday night. Kmet was limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday before upgrading to a full practice on Thursday, so he should be on the right side of questionable for the weekend. If the 26-year-old is active, he could be in line for more targets with both receivers Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden III (ankle) being ruled out. However, even in that case, Kmet will be no more than a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer in a bad matchup against Green Bay. Regardless of whether Kmet plays, rookie tight end Colston Loveland will have clear TE1 upside in Week 16 with both Odunze and Burden sidelined. Kmet has taken a back seat to Loveland in 2025 and has 24 catches for 301 yards and only two touchdowns in 13 games played.
