Who Should I Start? Luke Musgrave or Thomas Fidone II

Tuesday, November 4, 6:02 PM

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave now has a golden opportunity to produce in unfortunate circumstances surrounding the Packers. With Tucker Kraft's awful knee injury, which ended his season, Musgrave becomes the next man up. While we can't expect all of Kraft's previous production to go to Musgrave, he does have some upside. Remember: Musgrave was drafted 36 picks before Kraft in the 2023 NFL Draft, and in that season, Musgrave was the starter for most of his rookie season until a lacerated kidney caused him to miss several games. What Musgrave does have is route-based upside; he should run most tight end routes for the Packers with only John FitzPatrick and former Titan Josh Whyle on the practice squad manning the position behind Musgrave. The most likely outcome in Musgrave's range of outcomes is that he mixes in with the rest of the targets in Green Bay rather than take charge as a preferred target for quarterback Jordan Love. In the Packers' Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, Musgrave is just a low-end streamer for fantasy purposes.

New York Giants rookie tight end Thomas Fidone II caught a touchdown on Thursday, August 21, 2025, during the Giants' 42-10 preseason victory over the New England Patriots. Fidone caught four of his five targets for 39 yards, with his longest reception going for 28 yards and averaging 9.8 yards per catch. The rookie seventh-round pick has been flashing potential throughout training camp and is doing his best to make a deep Giants roster at the tight end position. While Fidone is buried on the depth chart right now, his solid performance in the preseason finale gives him a strong case to be added to the 53-man roster.
