Who Should I Start? Hunter Long or Grant Calcaterra

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.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra has been a meaningful part of the offense this season, playing on 47.4% of offensive snaps in six games. Calcaterra missed Philadelphia's Week 6 matchup in Minnesota with an oblique injury, but has suited up for every other game as the team's No. 2 tight end behind Dallas Goedert. The 26-year-old has mostly served as a blocking tight end and has only caught four of his six targets for 40 yards this season, but he has proven capable of scaling up a little bit when Goedert misses time. In the seven games that Goedert missed last season, Calcaterra caught 14 of 15 targets for 165 yards and a touchdown. He'd be in TE2 territory if Goedert were to miss any games this season.
