Who Should I Start? Tucker Kraft or Colston Loveland

Friday, October 17, 5:25 PM

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has been an inconsistent option at tight end this season, but he will look to keep his season going on a high note when Kraft and the Packers face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Despite averaging just 4.5 targets in five games this season, Kraft is the TE8 in fantasy scoring. Last week, he saved his fantasy day with a touchdown in the Packers' win over the Bengals. Consistent volume has been a bit difficult to come by for Kraft this season, as his production has largely been dependent on touchdowns. Despite just one top-10 fantasy tight end performance this season, Kraft is a solid start against Arizona. The Cardinals give up the sixth-most fantasy points to the tight end position on the season, so fire up Kraft and hope he gets into the end zone in Week 7.

Chicago Bears rookie first-round tight end Colston Loveland (hip) is officially active for Monday Night Football against the Washington Commanders to wrap up Week 6 action. Loveland will be returning for the first time since Week 3 due to a hip injury. The 21-year-old sat out of the Week 4 contest and is now ready after having extra time to heal during the team's Week 5 bye. With Loveland back in the fold, quarterback Caleb Williams will have his full complement of targets in the passing game against a suspect Washington secondary. There's a lot to like about Colston's long-term fantasy outlook, but early in his rookie season, he has struggled to produce and will likely take a back seat to Cole Kmet yet again in his return on Monday. In his first three NFL games, Loveland has caught half of his six targets for 43 yards and no touchdowns.
