Who Should I Start? John FitzPatrick or Tanner Conner

Tuesday, April 15, 7:32 PM

Free agent tight end John FitzPatrick has re-signed with the Green Bay Packers on an undisclosed contract, according to the team. The former Georgia Bulldog will serve his second stint with the squad after kicking off his career with the Atlanta Falcons for two seasons. FitzPatrick has appeared in 18 games over the prior two seasons but has only caught two passes for 14 yards on two targets. He has yet to garner a start and logged just 91 snaps across both campaigns on offense. However, he also played a good chunk of special teams snaps. The 25-year-old is unlikely to make an impact on the field this year, with fellow tight ends Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft dominating playing time. FitzPatrick will provide Green Bay with more depth in 2025.

Miami Dolphins tight end Tanner Conner will be in line for more playing time in Week 2 against the Patriots since Darren Waller (hip) will miss a second straight week. In Week 1, Conner split time evenly with Julian Hill, each playing 58% of snaps. Conner was much more involved as a receiver, though, drawing four targets compared to zero for Hill. Conner only had two catches for 20 yards, though, as the Dolphins' offense sputtered in their loss to the Colts. Conner could be a short-yardage option for the Miami again this week, and the Patriots were a good matchup for tight ends in Week 1. However, he is still a very unproven option in a struggling offense, so he's not a strong play in Week 2. In the RotoBaller rankings, he's TE48.
