Who Should I Start? Tommy Tremble or Tanner Conner

Tommy Tremble had little involvement in the passing game in Week 11, but he made a game-changing impact on one singular play. During overtime, Tremble had his only reception for 54 yards. The catch set up the game-winning field goal against the Falcons. Outside of the one big play, Tremble was mainly utilized as a blocker. For the third straight week, Tremble logged the most snaps of any Carolina TE, at 58%. In Week 12, the Panthers will face the San Francisco 49ers, who rank 25th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to TEs this season (15.39). Although this is a favorable matchup for TEs, Tremble has not shown he can take advantage of it. Tremble has been targeted more than twice by Carolina QBs this season. He is off the fantasy radar in most leagues, regardless of scoring format.

In the TE3 range for Week 9, Miami Dolphins tight end Tanner Conner should not be considered a starting option when Miami takes on the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. The fourth-year tight end is playing more with Darren Waller (pectoral) on injured reserve, but isn't earning nearly enough work in the passing game to be relied upon in a fantasy lineup. Despite Waller missing significant chunks of the season, Conner has played more than half of Miami's snaps only once in eight weeks and has yet to catch more than two passes in a game this season. As Miami leans on receiver Jaylen Waddle, running back De'Von Achane, and receiver Malik Washington for the majority of its targets, there isn't enough receiving opportunity for Conner to be a fantasy option.
