Who Should I Start? Harrison Bryant or Mitchell Wilcox

Friday, September 19, 10:47 PM

Houston Texans tight end Harrison Bryant played 39% of the team's snaps in Week 2 and should remain involved this week as the team's primary backup to Dalton Schultz. Bryant was re-signed from the team's practice squad after Cade Stover (foot) was placed on injured reserve before Week 2. He finished with no catches on one target against the Bucs and will probably not be heavily involved in the team's passing attack in Week 3. He's the TE55 in RotoBaller's rankings this week, meaning he is unlikely to make a significant fantasy impact.

The New England Patriots signed free-agent tight end Mitchell Wilcox on Monday, the team announced on X. Originally undrafted out of the 2020 class, Wilcox has spent the last four years with the Cincinnati Bengals. In 48 career games, the South Florida product has hauled in 29 of his 35 targets for 211 yards and one touchdown. The Patriots re-signed Hunter Henry to a three-year, $27 million deal this offseason, so the TE1 role is occupied in Foxborough. Wilcox could have the chance to compete with Austin Hooper for the TE2 job, but Hooper is likely the favorite to back up Henry. That said, Wilcox can be ignored in fantasy football.
