Who Should I Start? Lawrence Cager or Dyami Brown

The New York Giants have tons of opportunity at the tight end position this year after Darren Waller's retirement. They are looking to fill the void left by Waller with some combination of Daniel Bellinger, Lawrence Cager (hamstring) and rookie Theo Johnson. Bellinger is likely to be the starter, but Cager or Johnson are likely to be the team's primary pass-catching tight end. Cager started out training camp strong, and head coach Brian Daboll called him one of the standouts in the spring, but a hamstring injury has limited him recently. Johnson has returned after starting camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list with a hip problem. ESPN's Jordan Raanan says it's anyone's job to win this summer. None of the trio of TE options in New York are particularly attractive from a fantasy perspective, but Johnson probably has the most upside if he has a big enough role.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown caught six of his eight targets for 98 yards during their upset victory over the top-seeded Detroit Lions on Saturday evening. Brown's targets, receptions, and yards all led the team. Brown's longest reception of the day went for 42 yards. The 25-year-old has now seen at least four targets in each of his previous three games and tallied at least 89 in each of his past two. Last weekend, during their wild-card victory, Brown tied Terry McLaurin for the most receiving yards on the team (89) and found the back of the end zone. During the regular season, Brown averaged a mere 19.3 yards per game. Given his current role in the Washington offense, Brown carries WR2 upside heading into the NFC Championship Game.
