Who Should I Start? Hunter Long or Brock Wright

Friday, November 14, 9:42 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Hunter Long (hip, knee) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Long was limited in practice this week, but that won't be enough to get him on the field this weekend. Long will miss his second straight game, which is bad news with Brenton Strange (quad) still sidelined. That means, Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris will be the primary tight ends this weekend. Neither player offers viable streaming value for this Week 11 matchup.

With top Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) currently on Injured Reserve due to a back injury, veteran Brock Wright has been elevated to TE1 status in Detroit. In his first game without LaPorta in Week 11, Wright was targeted seven times but hauled in just two catches for eight yards against the Philadelphia Eagles. On paper, Wright has an easier matchup in Week 12 against the New York Giants. So far this season, New York has allowed the sixth-most passing yards (2,641) and seventh-most passing touchdowns (19) in the NFL. However, Wright's lack of proven track record as a receiving threat makes him tough to trust for fantasy managers. Across 68 career games with Detroit, the 26-year-old has recorded 67 receptions. He profiles as a low-end fantasy TE2 in Week 12 against the Giants.
