Who Should I Start? Charlie Woerner or Hunter Long

The Atlanta Falcons have agreed to terms on a three-year, $12 million deal with free-agent tight end Charlie Woerner on Monday, according to his agent, Alex Essex. Woerner, a sixth-round selection in 2020 by the San Francisco 49ers out of Georgia, had just 11 catches on 15 targets for 120 yards and no touchdowns in 65 games (seven starts) in his four seasons in the Bay Area, so he shouldn't be expected to do much in Atlanta besides providing insurance at the tight end position behind Kyle Pitts. The 26-year-old is a blocking-first tight end anyway, so when he's in the game for new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, it will probably be to pave the way for running back Bijan Robinson.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Hunter Long enters Week 6 atop the depth chart after Brenton Strange (quad) was placed on injured reserve. While Long's exact volume is uncertain, he did step up and play 60 percent of the snaps after Strange went down last week, so he should definitely get involved. He also has six catches and a touchdown over his last three games, indicating that Trevor Lawrence is comfortable throwing him the football. Long ranks as a mid-to-low TE2 with some streaming appeal in deeper leagues. Fortunately for Long, he has upside given his matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, who have surrendered the most receptions and seventh-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2025.
