Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Cole Kmet

Friday, October 17, 6:36 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (shoulder, calf) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Ertz missed practice to start the week, but was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday. However, Ertz was downgraded to a limited participant on Friday. The veteran tight end is dealing with multiple injuries that could keep him sidelined this weekend. The Commanders are already without Terry McLaurin (quad) for Week 7. Both Ertz and Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) is considered questionable for this game. If active, both players figure to play big roles on offense.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet had a very quiet game in Week 6 against the Washington Commanders, recording one catch for zero yards on two targets. With fellow Bears tight end Colston Loveland sidelined by a hip injury, Kmet saw a brief target spike (nine) in Week 4. However, with Loveland back in the lineup against Washington after Chicago's Week 5 bye, it appears Kmet will have a hard time earning the target volume needed for consistent fantasy production. Through five games this season, Kmet has eight catches for 116 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets. He should remain off of fantasy radars unless Loveland were to go down with another injury.
