Who Should I Start? Luke Musgrave or Tip Reiman

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.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Tip Reiman (right leg) was carted to the locker room during the second half of Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Tennessee Titans. He suffered the injury after failing to haul in his first and only target of the game. Given the urgency of the Cardinals' medical personnel to get the cart on the field for Reiman, this could be a very serious injury, and it's likely one that will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the contest. He has merely occupied a depth role in Arizona this season, catching just three passes for 18 yards. Elijah Higgins will step up as the No. 2 tight end behind Trey McBride.
