Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Cole Kmet

Saturday, September 16, 3:27 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz will be looking to build off of last Sunday's performance in Week 2 against the New York Giants. In the Week 1 loss to the Commanders, Ertz led the NFL in targets at the tight end position with 10, becoming a solid check-down option for quarterback Joshua Dobbs. Arizona's offensive line is currently a mess, and the Giants are looking to bounce back from their Week 1 thrashing at the hands of the Cowboys. Dobbs may look Ertz's way early and often. If that happens, the odds are good Ertz could approach the 10 target threshold once again and be a solid fantasy option. Either way, fantasy managers should roll with him in Week 2.

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.
