Who Should I Start? CJ Uzomah or Chris Manhertz

According to the team, Philadelphia Eagles tight end C.J. Uzomah (abdomen) will not play during the Super Bowl. Uzomah joined Philadelphia's practice squad in December. Across seven contests, he ran just 14 routes and did not see a target. He sustained this injury during their victory over the Dallas Cowboys during Week 17. The 32-year-old was able to log two full practice sessions this week but was unable to turn the corner. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Dallas Goedert to operate as the clear TE1, with Grant Calcaterra serving as the backup.

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.
