Should You Start or Sit Cole Kmet in Week 11?
Cole Kmet has a pair of top-two finishes at the position this season, but that sounds much more favorable than it is. Yes, it’s encouraging to know that games like that are in this profile, but we are talking about an awfully thin outlook with an inconsistent rookie under center and three receivers ahead of him in the target hierarchy.
Looking to invest in Caleb Williams’ pedigree is reasonable for a Rome Odunze-type that has a path to consistently be the first read — but Kmet isn’t that. Over the past three weeks, his 92 routes have netted just 27 yards. The floor is as low as any tight end on the board and the ceiling is nothing more than average based on current form.
If you’re really trying hard to talk yourself into Kmet, he’s caught 14 of 18 targets in his past three games against the Packers. I present the facts for you to do what you please — I think that’s grasping for straws and will be looking elsewhere in the leagues in which I am streaming the position.
