Who Should I Start? Josiah Deguara or Hunter Long

Former Green Bay Packers tight end Josiah Deguara signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, according to a source. Deguara will head to the AFC after spending the first four years of his NFL career playing for the Packers. Green Bay took him in the third round (94th overall) in 2020 out of Cincinnati. In his four years with the team, he recorded 47 catches on 58 targets for 436 yards and only two touchdowns in 50 games played (10 starts). In 15 regular-season games (four starts) in 2023, the 27-year-old caught just eight passes for 65 yards and no scores. Deguara will mostly be useful to the Jaguars for his blocking skills on offense and on special teams, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to make an impact catching the ball behind Evan Engram, the team's top pass-catching tight end.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Hunter Long (hamstring) was ruled out for Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. Long was sent to the Rams this offseason in the blockbuster deal for cornerback Jalen Ramsey. But Los Angeles hasn't seen much from the tight end due to multiple injuries this summer. Long spent his first two NFL seasons with the Miami Dolphins, where he has one career catch for eight yards. When he returns from his hamstring issue, he shouldn't be on fantasy radars.
