Who Should I Start? Luke Musgrave or Cade Stover

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave's opportunity has declined substantially and is no longer fantasy viable when the Packers host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. Musgrave ran routes on 81 percent of dropbacks in Week 10 against the Eagles. Even his role as a sporadic contributor to the Packers' offense is in peril, as John FitzPatrick earned more snaps and ran four more pass routes than Musgrave did last week against the Giants. With just eight targets and seven receptions for 56 yards in his three combined games after Tucker Kraft's season-ending injury, it seems the replacement for Kraft's workload won't come from the tight end position for the Packers. Musgrave is not worth rostering in fantasy leagues, much less starting in your lineups in Week 12.

Houston Texans tight end Cade Stover missed nine weeks with a foot injury, returning in Week 11 after originally being placed on IR after Week 1. He caught four of his four targets for 22 yards in the season opener, but he didn't have a target or catch against the Titans. He played 14 snaps (20%) and didn't report any setbacks, so he should be ready for more work in Week 12 against the Bills. He'll continue to back up Dalton Schultz and could eventually eat into his snaps and targets as the season goes on. For now, he's well off the fantasy radar, but it's worth monitoring his involvement, especially after his college teammate QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) is ready to return for the Texans.
