Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Albert Okwuegbunam

Free agent tight end Noah Fant will sign with the Cincinnati Bengals, according to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz. Fant was a first-round pick out of Iowa in 2019 by the Broncos, who included him in the trade for Russell Wilson. Fant spent last season with the Seahawks, catching 48 of his 64 targets for 500 yards and a touchdown. He was a cap casualty earlier this offseason, though, and became a free agent. He visited the Dolphins and Saints along with the Bengals, but he will now join a stacked Cincinnati offense that will likely feature both him and Mike Gesicki at tight end, along with wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins as top pass-catchers for quarterback Joe Burrow. Fant's target share is a little uncertain, which keeps him from being a starter in standard leagues, but he's a solid depth option with some breakout potential, depending on how he gels with his new squad.

The Philadelphia Eagles re-signed tight end Albert Okwuegbunam to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. Okwuegbunam was scheduled to become a free agent in March, but he'll stick around in Philadelphia for at least another season. The Denver Broncos' former fourth-round pick in 2020 out of Missouri landed with the Eagles before the 2023 campaign but failed to catch his only target in only four games last season. The 25-year-old finished the year on Injured Reserve due to a mysterious hamstring injury. With Dallas Goedert, Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra ahead of him on the depth chart, Albert O figures to be facing an uphill battle to make the regular-season roster out of training camp this summer.
