Who Should I Start? Chris Manhertz or Quintin Morris

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.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing former Buffalo Bills tight end Quintin Morris to a one-year contract, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The former undrafted free agent out of Bowling Green in 2021 spent each of the last four years with Buffalo before hitting free agency this offseason. As primarily a third-stringer, Morris hauled in 15 receptions for 146 yards and three touchdowns in 45 games over the last three seasons. However, he is known for his blocking skills, which is something the new staff in Jacksonville prioritizes for the position, according to Schultz. Don't expect Morris to be on the fantasy football radar in 2024, but this could be a sneaky solid signing for Jacksonville's rushing attack led by Travis Etienne, Tank Bigsby, and Bhashul Tuten.
