Who Should I Start? Tommy Tremble or Mason Taylor

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble hasn't done much for fantasy managers this season. While he had five catches (eight targets) for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Week 4 loss to the New England Patriots, he has been nearly irrelevant from a production standpoint. Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) is listed as questionable heading into the Week 6 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys, so there's a chance he won't be out there once again. Sure, the potential for added involvement should increase Tremble's fantasy potential. Still, even if Sanders remains sidelined, fantasy managers will be taking a gamble by rolling with the 25-year-old as their starting tight end for the favorable matchup with the Cowboys. especially with Xavier Legette in the mix.

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.
