Who Should I Start? Tanner Hudson or Brock Bowers

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson will not play in Week 3 against the Vikings, after being listed as a healthy inactive. Hudson has yet to play an offensive snap for the Bengals this season although he was active each week. Instead of Hudson, tight end Cam Grandy will be active, and since he's more of a blocking specialist, that could mean the Bengals are planning to go more run-heavy if the game script allows against the Vikings. Hudson and Grandy are well off the fantasy football radar, but the switch in inactives could indicate a big workload is coming for Chase Brown.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) has already been ruled out ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. According to Ian Rapoport, Bowers is unlikely to suit up for next week's matchup versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Bowers has been dealing with a PCL injury that he suffered Week 1. His timetable was revealed as week-to-week, so fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if Bowers misses a third straight game. His absence means that Michael Mayer will take over as the primary tight end on this offense. Mayer is worth a stash for tight end needy fantasy managers, but isn't a recommended streaming option in Week 6.
