Who Should I Start? Cade Stover or Elijah Arroyo

Saturday, December 6, 6:57 AM

Houston Texans tight end Cade Stover had a new role in Week 13, serving as the team's short-yardage specialist and taking four carries for three yards in addition to catching both of his targets for 16 yards as the team's second tight end. Stover's four carries came on 3rd- or 4th-and-one situations, and he converted two of the four chances for first downs. Three of the carries came in the red zone, and he has the potential to score a short-yardage touchdown in the package if the opportunity arises in the coming weeks. Stover has played three games this season and has six catches for 38 yards, so he's a little involved in the passing game as well. The second-year tight end from Ohio State is only the No. 48 TE in RotoBaller's rankings in Week 14 against the Chiefs, so he can be left on the waiver wire in most formats, but it is interesting that he's getting short-yardage work since it does raise his potential production.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo (knee) is questionable to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons due to a knee injury. The 22-year-old was targeted once but had not recorded a catch before exiting the game. Arroyo entered the week with 15 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown on 25 targets across 12 games played in 2025. If he is unable to return, Seahawks tight end AJ Barner would likely dominate playing time at the position for the remainder of Week 14.
