Who Should I Start? Kylen Granson or Michael Mayer

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed free-agent tight end Kylen Granson on Friday. The two sides have agreed on a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. Granson is a former fourth-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts. He has spent each of the last four seasons in Indy, but was never able to become a full-time starter. Last season, Granson hauled in 14 receptions for 182 yards and zero touchdowns across 17 games (six starts) with the Colts. The expectation is that Granson will land behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra on the depth chart. Fantasy managers are safe to avoid Granson in fantasy leagues while Goedert is healthy.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer is expected to get more involved in the offense this upcoming season. Mayer looked nonexistent with Brock Bowers ahead of him on the depth chart last season. He finished the season with 21 receptions and 156 receiving yards in 11 games. After failing to trade Mayer, the Raiders have decided to get the former second-round pick more involved in the offense. Mayer has reportedly looked good in camp and has built a solid relationship with new head coach Pete Carroll. It's worth noting that Bowers is going to remain the unquestioned No. 1 tight end and primary passing option. Mayer showed good potential during his time in college, so hopefully the Raiders are able to find a way to get him involved.
