Who Should I Start? Hunter Long or Chigoziem Okonkwo

Working in Los Angeles Rams tight end Hunter Long's favor is the fact that Tyler Higbee (knee) probably isn't going to be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season. That lone could land Long a spot on the 53-man roster to open the year if Higbee starts on the Physically Unable to Perform list. However, the Rams added Colby Parkinson in the offseason and love the potential of Davis Allen. If one of Nikola Kalinic or Neal Johnson emerges in training camp and the preseason, Long could be out of a roster spot. The 25-year-old finished last year on Injured Reserve after having surgery on his MCL but he was taking part in organized team activities this offseason and should be ready to go this fall. In just four games played in 2023, Long wasn't targeted at all while playing 54 offensive snaps for the Rams.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught three of four targets for just eight receiving yards during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okonkwo's three receptions totaled ten, four, and negative six yards. The 25-year-old is having his worst NFL season yet, catching just 30 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns while ranking outside the top 30 fantasy tight ends. The 25-year-old belongs on waivers in most fantasy leagues, including next week against the Cincinnati Bengals.
