Kyle Pitts or Cole Kmet Week 15 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy football projections for TEs

Week 15 of the 2024 fantasy football season features two games being played on Monday Night Football. This gives managers more tight ends to choose from when they are setting their lineups on the final day of the week.

Two potential options this week include Kyle Pitts and Cole Kmet, so here's which one is a better pick.

Is Kyle Pitts a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

Kyle Pitts outlook

Kyle Pitts is having a frustrating 2024 fantasy year with the Atlanta Falcons due to his inconsistent weekly production. He has demonstrated his elite upside with seven weekly finishes as the TE13 or better in 13 games this year, but he has also finished outside of the top 40 in four of his other games.

The biggest issue is that three of those disappointing performances have come across his past five games, so he has been trending in the wrong direction. The positive side is that he has a strong chance of bouncing back in Week 15 against the Las Vegas Raiders (allowing third-most fantasy points per game to tight ends).

Is Cole Kmet a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

Cole Kmet outlook

Cole Kmet plays in a crowded offense for the Chicago Bears, which partially explains his inconsistent 2024 fantasy football season so far. He has finished in the range of a TE1 five times this year, but he has equally finished outside of the top 30 weekly tight ends.

One factor that makes Kmet an interesting lineup option in Week 15 is that he found success three weeks ago in his game against the Minnesota Vikings, who he will face this week. He recorded seven receptions on 10 targets in that matchup and finished as the weekly TE12, giving him additional upside this week.

Kyle Pitts or Cole Kmet: Who should I start in Week 15 fantasy football?

Who Should I Start

Kyle Pitts is the recommended tight end to use in Week 15 fantasy football lineups over Cole Kmet. While both of them are risky picks on Monday Night Football this week, Pitts' superior overall success this season gives him a slight edge despite his recent struggles.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that Pitts will score about an additional fantasy point than Kmet in PPR formats this week. He has higher projections in receptions and yardage, making him the better pick.
