Who Should I Start? Geoff Swaim or Eric Saubert

Sunday, December 17, 6:25 PM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Geoff Swaim (calf) won't return to Sunday's meeting with the 49ers. He suffered a calf injury, ending his day with one catch for 26 yards. That said, it's unlikely many fantasy managers had him in the lineup, considering Trey McBride is the primary tight end on the depth chart.

The San Francisco 49ers signed free-agent tight end Eric Saubert to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday. Saubert was initially drafted in the fifth round (174th overall) by the Atlanta Falcons in 2017 out of Drake. The 29-year-old spent the first two years of his NFL career in Atlanta before stops with the Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans. He was with the Cowboys and Texans in 2023 and caught all three of his targets for 12 yards in 10 games (one start). Saubert has 36 career receptions on 55 targets for 292 yards and two touchdowns in 84 games (16 starts) in his seven NFL seasons. In San Francisco this year, Saubert will operate as tight end depth behind starter George Kittle alongside Brayden Willis, Cameron Latu and Jake Tonges.
