Who Should I Start? Chris Manhertz or Luke Musgrave

Free-agent tight end Chris Manhertz is signing with the New York Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Giants have Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger on the roster and signed former Philadelphia Eagles tight end Jack Stoll this week, so the position is getting crowded behind Waller. Manhertz has caught just 26 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns in his eight-year career with the Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Denver Broncos, so he will not be on the fantasy radar in 2024. He is primarily a blocking tight end, and he could be buried on the depth chart.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave hadn't done much with his increased opportunities since Tucker Kraft suffered a season-ending knee injury. However, he had season-highs in catches (four), targets (six), and receiving yards (52) in the 34-26 loss to the hosting Denver Broncos on Sunday. The 25-year-old former second-rounder has seen 10 targets in the last two weeks, catching six of them for 74 yards. Musgrave has yet to find the end zone in 2025, but the good news is that he has little competition for targets at his position, and he could see more work going into a crucial Week 16 divisional game against the Chicago Bears this Sunday if receiver Christian Watson (chest) is unable to play. Musgrave caught two of his four targets for 22 yards in the Week 14 win over the Bears at Lambeau Field. Coming off a season-best performance in Denver, Musgrave is one to watch as a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer if Watson is inactive in Week 16.
