Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Greg Dulcich

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.

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich split snaps with Julian Hill in the team's last game in Week 11, but he could play a smaller role in Week 13 against the Saints. Darren Waller (pec) is questionable and could return from IR, forcing Dulich into an uninvolved role off the bench. Dulich was brought in to provide some pass-catching at the position while Waller was out, and he hauled in eight catches on 13 targets over the last three games, producing a total of 89 receiving yards and no touchdowns. If Waller comes back, Dulcich is not a strong play in any format, since he is unlikely to get significant work. If Waller needs another week before being activated, Dulich would be a low-end TE2 while getting time along with Hill in a favorable matchup against the Saints.
