Who Should I Start? Grant Calcaterra or Luke Schoonmaker

Saturday, October 18, 7:50 PM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra (oblique) won't play in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The 26-year-old suffered an oblique injury during the Week 5 loss to the Denver Broncos and wasn't available for the Thursday night divisional clash with the New York Giants. He didn't practice all week, so it's unknown how close he is to returning. However, Calcaterra hasn't been productive this season, catching only four passes for 40 yards, making him irrelevant for fantasy managers. With Dallas Goedert available, that likely would have remained the case.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Luke Schoonmaker (concussion) was not listed on the team's injury report Monday, which indicates that he has cleared concussion protocol and will play in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Schoonmaker was sidelined for nearly two weeks while recovering, and now, he's back just in time for the season opener. The 26-year-old was productive while backing up Jake Ferguson last season, as he caught 27 passes for 241 yards and one touchdown through 17 games (six starts). Schoonmaker should be left on waivers for now, but he would instantly become a high-end TE2 if Ferguson were to miss any games.
