Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Mason Taylor

Saturday, September 27, 12:30 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant (concussion) has been ruled out for his team's Week 4 matchup against the Denver Broncos on Monday night. Fant has recorded 12 catches for 80 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets through his first three games of 2025. In his absence, Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki could see a larger role in the passing game. Gesicki has logged five catches for 38 yards on 10 targets so far this season. The 29-year-old will still likely split snaps with fellow Bengals tight ends Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson, and Gesicki will remain behind star wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in the target pecking order in Cincinnati. All Bengals tight ends should be avoided by fantasy managers in Week 4.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor will get another opportunity in Week 4 to seize a larger role in his team's offense when they square off with the hosting Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The rookie is far and away the team's leader in snaps at tight end, and he finally saw a solid target figure in Week 3 (six). However, that was with Tyrod Taylor manning the helm. Justin Fields will return to the team in Week 4, meaning New York could choose to dial back the pass attempts as they had before his departure in their loss to the Bills. That said, the LSU product ranks third on the Jets in terms of targets (nine), and he's undoubtedly still adjusting to the professional level of competition. Taylor will be difficult to trust for fantasy until he strings together a few weeks of steady output. He'll be one to monitor for now, though, if not for nothing else than New York's dearth at the skill positions. The 21-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR TE31 for Monday's matchup.
