Who Should I Start? Lawrence Cager or Freddie Swain

Sunday, November 12, 9:56 PM

New York Giants tight end Lawrence Cager caught one of New York's two touchdowns in their 49-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. With a blowout already well underway, the Dallas defense let their foot off of the gas pedal and allowed Cager to catch a ten-yard score. It was his only reception of the contest. The reserve tight end only has three catches this season (all against Dallas) and is seeing increased time on the field with the injury to Darren Waller (hamstring). There aren't any reasons to roster the 26-year-old in any fantasy football format.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Freddie Swain caught 6-of-8 targets and gained 33 yards during the team's 27-13 preseason loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The 25-year-old tied for the team lead in receptions Thursday night with his top competition for a roster spot, Deon Cain. Cain, however, gained nearly double the yardage and looked more explosive. With Tyrie Cleveland waived due to injury, the final wide receiver spot for the Eagles is up for grabs, and it seems to be down to Swain and Cain after their performances Thursday. Cain may have the upper hand due to being on the roster for a more extended period of time, but Swain should revert to the practice squad if he does not make the final 53-man roster after cutdowns.
