Who Should I Start? Hunter Long or Luke Schoonmaker

Tuesday, October 14, 5:06 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Hunter Long played a season-high 80% of the offensive snaps in the Week 6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in the first game with Brenton Strange (hip) on Injured Reserve. Although Long was used more with Strange sidelined, it didn't amount to much production, as he caught only two of his three targets for 19 yards. Meanwhile, fellow TE Johnny Mundt played 39% of the snaps and caught one of two targets in the passing game for a 14-yard gain. The 27-year-old Long will continue to see more time on the field in Jacksonville's offense for as long as Strange remains out. However, for fantasy purposes, he's not going to be much more than a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2 streamer with Mundt also contributing. Through six games so far in his first year with the Jags, Long has nine receptions on 11 targets for 63 yards and the first two touchdowns of his career in his fifth season.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Luke Schoonmaker (concussion) was not listed on the team's injury report Monday, which indicates that he has cleared concussion protocol and will play in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Schoonmaker was sidelined for nearly two weeks while recovering, and now, he's back just in time for the season opener. The 26-year-old was productive while backing up Jake Ferguson last season, as he caught 27 passes for 241 yards and one touchdown through 17 games (six starts). Schoonmaker should be left on waivers for now, but he would instantly become a high-end TE2 if Ferguson were to miss any games.
