Who Should I Start? Kylen Granson or Oronde Gadsden

Saturday, September 13, 12:55 AM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Kylen Granson could see an uptick in targets in Week 2 with Dallas Goedert (knee) officially being ruled out. In Philly's season opener against the Cowboys, Granson was the only other tight end besides Goedert to tally any targets, though it was just one which resulted in a one-yard catch. The Eagles' other option as a replacement is former sixth-round draft pick Grant Calcaterra, who did see more snaps (37) last week than Granson (17). With uncertainty at the position, neither of Philadelphia's backups seem like reliable fantasy options this week against Kansas City. Only consider them for deeper leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden continued his red-zone success last week, catching all five of his targets for 77 yards and his second touchdown of the season. He has become a key part of the passing attack, but now faces a Tennessee Titans defense that has been among the toughest against tight ends this year, allowing only three touchdowns to the position. While the Titans' struggles against the run may lead to another low-volume passing game (Gadsden only ran 29 routes last week), his size, speed, and proven chemistry with Herbert near the goal line keep him relevant. RotoBaller projects Gadsden as TE5 this week. He has proven himself a must-start and should be viewed as a solid low-end TE1.
