Who Should I Start? Brock Wright or Nate Adkins

Friday, November 7, 10:24 PM

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright has recorded nine catches for 71 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets across eight games played in 2025. The 26-year-old is firmly behind Sam LaPorta on the Lions' tight end depth chart and sees most of his work come as a blocker. However, there's some reason to believe Wright may see the field a bit more in Week 10. The Lions have been struggling in pass protection recently, allowing 14 sacks over their last four games. Additionally, starting left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder) and swing tackle Dan Skipper (back) are both questionable to play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Detroit's offensive line issues could lead to more two-tight-end sets and heavier personnel usage, which would benefit Wright. Still, it's hard to imagine he'll be able to provide even modest fantasy production without a touchdown reception in Week 10.

Denver Broncos tight end Nate Adkins scored his first touchdown of the season on Sunday to help his team defeat the New York Jets 13-11 in London. The third-year tight end finished the day having caught both of his targets for 23 yards, and his 16-yard scoring connection with quarterback Bo Nix proved to be the only touchdown of the game. Even with his first touchdown in the books, Adkins has just four catches on the season. Behind fellow tight end Evan Engram, who led the team in targets on Sunday, Adkins is unlikely to receive enough volume to be considered for fantasy lineups going forward.
