Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Chig Okonkwo

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant has enjoyed an uptick in production of late. He scored a touchdown in two of his previous four appearances. The 28-year-old is also coming off his second five-catch game of the season. With that said, Mike Gesicki (pectoral) was activated from the Injured Reserve list and is set to make his return for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots. With Ja'Marr Chase sidelined for that one in order to serve a one-game suspension, there will be additional targets up for grabs behind Tee Higgins. Although Gesicki is reportedly in line for a more prominent role in Week 12, it appears Fant has a good thing going with Joe Flacco, meaning the duo may continue to connect. While Gesicki's presence significantly lowers Fants' ceiling, it's hard to imagine he'll go away completely, giving him some upside for desperate, deep-league fantasy managers.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) is currently tagged as questionable for the Week 13 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okonkwo has been limited in practice this week due to a lingering foot issue. When healthy, Okonkwo has been a bottom tier fantasy tight end this season. However, the 26-year-old has finished with 40 receiving yards or more in three of his last four games. His fantasy ceiling is fairly low while he continues to split up reps with Gunnar Helm. If Okonkwo sits, Helm figures to see an expanded role in the offense.
