Who Should I Start? Robert Tonyan or Luke Musgrave

Friday, August 29, 8:53 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Robert Tonyan has been signed from the practice squad to the active roster on Thursday. Tonyan was cut by the team on Tuesday, but joined the practice squad a day later. Now, the 31-year-old makes the 53-man roster heading into Week 1. He'll serve as depth behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray to start the season. Tonyan hasn't been fantasy relevant in a few seasons, but did haul in 53 receptions in 2022. He also produced an 11-touchdown season during his time with the Green Bay Packers. Tonyan has shown he's capable of making big plays in the NFL. However, Tonyan won't have fantasy value to begin the season as the projected third string.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave has played on only 29.9% of offensive snaps so far through seven games this season, catching six of his seven targets for 54 yards and no touchdowns. Musgrave hasn't seen more than two targets in a game this season, as fellow third-year tight end Tucker Kraft has established himself as one of the best tight ends in the league. Kraft has been banged up some during his career, and if he were to miss any time this season, Musgrave would likely step into the starting tight end spot and run a full number of routes. The 25-year-old had plenty of positive moments in his rookie year as a downfield threat, which aligns with quarterback Jordan Love's style of play. But Musgrave also dealt with injury issues and has struggled to stay on the field at times. He's best left on the waiver wire for now.
