Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Mason Taylor

Wednesday, November 5, 12:55 AM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant caught two of his three targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in a thrilling 47-42 loss against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. Fant caught his third touchdown of the season and has now recorded multiple receptions in four straight games. Fant had little involvement in this game despite it being one of the highest scoring games we will see all season. Since posting a season high 73.5% route share in Week 7, the 27-year-old has dipped to 33.3% and 44% in each of the past two weeks. The targets in Cincinnati's offense are heavily consolidated around the top two wideouts in Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase, and with Fant's route share being limited in back-to-back games, fantasy managers should likely look elsewhere if searching for a streamer at tight end for Week 10.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor is ready to go for this Sunday's meeting with the visiting Cleveland Browns after a full week of practice. The 21-year-old headed into the team's bye week battling a quad issue, but he's all healed up for a clash with a staunch Browns' defense in Week 10. Taylor has dealt with inconsistencies this season, but has drawn a ton of targets in a Jets' offense bereft of weaponry. The addition of former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is sure to draw some looks away from the LSU product. However, the two figure to operate in different areas of the field, and it's unclear if Mitchell will play this weekend. Cleveland isn't a very friendly matchup in any aspect, although they've been more forgiving to tight ends over recent weeks. Either way, Taylor should work as a top two option, whether it's quarterback Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields calling signals. The rookie is RotoBaller's PPR TE21 for his outing with Cleveland.
