Who Should I Start? Tanner Hudson or Brock Bowers

Thursday, October 16, 1:06 AM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) was ruled out for Thursday Night Football against the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Hudson suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Packers and wasn't able to clear concussion protocol on a short week. Fellow tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) was also injured during the game and will miss time. Noah Fant and Drew Sample will be lined up for more opportunities, with Fant as likely as the top pass-catching option. Fant has been productive in a limited sample so far this season, hauling in 16 of his 18 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown.

Despite his team's struggles, Las Vegas Raiders right end Brock Bowers is a must-start tight end in a Week 10 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The second-year superstar from Georgia returned from a knee injury with a three-touchdown, week-winning performance last time out, and there's no reason to stray from him against Denver. The Broncos may be one of the best overall defenses in the league, but they've been only middle of the pack against fantasy tight ends. Further, Vegas shipped out top wide receiver Jakobi Meyers this week, opening the door for Bowers to vacuum even more targets during the remainder of the season. Ranked as RotoBaller's No. 2 overall tight end this week, Bowers should be starting in every format.
