Who Should I Start? Mo Alie-Cox or Noah Fant

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.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant brought in all four of his targets for 56 yards in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions. It was a modest stat line but a refreshing change from being a complete non-factor in Seattle's season opener. With fellow tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers, Fant should see a substantial boost to his snap share. Whether that turns into meaningful fantasy production is another question as the triumvirate of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba are the priorities in Seattle's passing attack. Fant can be left on the bench for another week.
