Who Should I Start? Marcedes Lewis or Robert Tonyan

Saturday, November 1, 6:29 PM

Denver Broncos tight end Marcedes Lewis has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Houston Texans. Lewis joined the practice squad earlier in the week and is now on the active roster a few days later. The Broncos are banged up at tight end and could use another body for this weekend. The 41-year-old is unlikely to do much in terms of receiving as he hasn't hauled in more than six receptions in a single season since 2022. Lewis figures to be mainly a blocking option, so he'll be off the fantasy radar.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Robert Tonyan has been signed from the practice squad to the active roster on Thursday. Tonyan was cut by the team on Tuesday, but joined the practice squad a day later. Now, the 31-year-old makes the 53-man roster heading into Week 1. He'll serve as depth behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray to start the season. Tonyan hasn't been fantasy relevant in a few seasons, but did haul in 53 receptions in 2022. He also produced an 11-touchdown season during his time with the Green Bay Packers. Tonyan has shown he's capable of making big plays in the NFL. However, Tonyan won't have fantasy value to begin the season as the projected third string.
