Who Should I Start? Hunter Long or Brock Wright

Sunday, November 2, 5:19 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Hunter Long (hip, knee) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught one pass for six yards. Long had seen increased opportunities recently with Brenton Strange (quadriceps) on injured reserve. With both Long and Strange now sidelined, Johnny Mundt will step up as the Jaguars' primary tight end.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright has just five catches for 37 yards on six targets so far this season, but two of his catches have resulted in touchdowns. The 27-year-old plays a consistent role in the Lions' offense, as he's played at least 40% of the team's offensive snaps in four out of five games this season. However, Wright's primary usage will likely be as a blocker as long as top Lions tight end Sam LaPorta remains healthy. In 63 career games played for Detroit, Wright has recorded 61 catches for 561 yards and 11 touchdowns. Wright and the Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and the fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL so far this season. Wright should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 6.
