Who Should I Start? Luke Musgrave or Tanner Conner

Monday, December 15, 11:42 PM

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave hadn't done much with his increased opportunities since Tucker Kraft suffered a season-ending knee injury. However, he had season-highs in catches (four), targets (six), and receiving yards (52) in the 34-26 loss to the hosting Denver Broncos on Sunday. The 25-year-old former second-rounder has seen 10 targets in the last two weeks, catching six of them for 74 yards. Musgrave has yet to find the end zone in 2025, but the good news is that he has little competition for targets at his position, and he could see more work going into a crucial Week 16 divisional game against the Chicago Bears this Sunday if receiver Christian Watson (chest) is unable to play. Musgrave caught two of his four targets for 22 yards in the Week 14 win over the Bears at Lambeau Field. Coming off a season-best performance in Denver, Musgrave is one to watch as a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer if Watson is inactive in Week 16.

In the TE3 range for Week 9, Miami Dolphins tight end Tanner Conner should not be considered a starting option when Miami takes on the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. The fourth-year tight end is playing more with Darren Waller (pectoral) on injured reserve, but isn't earning nearly enough work in the passing game to be relied upon in a fantasy lineup. Despite Waller missing significant chunks of the season, Conner has played more than half of Miami's snaps only once in eight weeks and has yet to catch more than two passes in a game this season. As Miami leans on receiver Jaylen Waddle, running back De'Von Achane, and receiver Malik Washington for the majority of its targets, there isn't enough receiving opportunity for Conner to be a fantasy option.
