Who Should I Start? Hunter Long or Brock Wright

Sunday, October 12, 9:56 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Hunter Long enters Week 6 atop the depth chart after Brenton Strange (quad) was placed on injured reserve. While Long's exact volume is uncertain, he did step up and play 60 percent of the snaps after Strange went down last week, so he should definitely get involved. He also has six catches and a touchdown over his last three games, indicating that Trevor Lawrence is comfortable throwing him the football. Long ranks as a mid-to-low TE2 with some streaming appeal in deeper leagues. Fortunately for Long, he has upside given his matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, who have surrendered the most receptions and seventh-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2025.

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.
