Who Should I Start? Jonnu Smith or Daniel Bellinger

Saturday, November 8, 12:12 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith has not eclipsed 30 receiving yards in any contest this season and will face a tough test against the Los Angeles Chargers this week. The Chargers' defense has been solid across the board, limiting opposing tight ends to the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game. On the bright side, Smith did earn five targets last week, tied for the second-most on the team. He could be equally or more involved in what's projected to be a close matchup on Sunday night, but it's hard to trust him with both Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington also earning opportunities. Smith checks in as the TE26 in RotoBaller's Week 10 rankings and should be avoided in most formats.

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger is showing subtle signs of increased involvement in the offense, making him a speculative play in deep fantasy leagues for Week 10 against the Chicago Bears. While Bellinger is the 35th-ranked fantasy TE, averaging just 3.86 points per game, he is benefiting from rookie QB Jaxson Dart's tight end targets and the team's increased use of two-tight end sets following major receiver injuries. Bellinger's impressive 17.6 yards per reception shows an unexpected deep-threat element that could exploit the Chicago defense's weakness, as they have allowed 20 passing touchdowns on the season. Although Chicago is an average matchup against the TE position, this vulnerable defense (28.4 points allowed per game) offers a glimmer of hope that Bellinger could score a sneaky touchdown.
