Who Should I Start? Johnny Mundt or Brock Bowers

Monday, September 16, 12:20 AM

Minnesota Vikings tight end Johnny Mundt caught two of three targets for just 12 yards during Sunday's win over the San Francisco 49ers. Mundt has been operating as the Vikings' top tight end with T.J. Hockenson (knee) sidelined, but he has left a lot to be desired from a fantasy football perspective. With just four catches and 27 yards through two games, Mundt has lost most of his fantasy relevance and can be left on waivers heading into Week 3 against the Houston Texans.

Although Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) was upgraded to a limited practice on Friday after missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday, he has been listed as doubtful to play on Sunday in Week 7 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, per Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The 22-year-old second-year tight end will be missing his third straight game. He went for over 100 yards receiving in the season opener, but also suffered a PCL injury to his knee. The Raiders are on bye in Week 8, so fantasy managers will be hoping that he can make his return when they return to action in Week 9 to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Keep Bowers on your benches and keep your fingers crossed that he makes progress with his knee injury over the bye. Michael Mayer scored his first touchdown of the season last week and will be in play as a TE2 streamer against KC, especially if receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) is unable to play.
