Can we terminate Comcast business metro ethernet ourselves?

We currently have an office with Comcast metro ethernet, with a Ciena 3903 being used to terminate the fiber. All of our networking equipment except the 3903 is fanless, and the CEO wants to get rid of the 3903 for that reason. I was thinking I'd just get an appropriate SFP to put in our router and plug the fiber in directly, but I suspect there are reasons that won't work.

My networking knowledge is out of date and never involved metro ethernet to begin with, so I thought I'd ask here. Anyone have specific knowledge of whether this is possible?
