Who Should I Start? Zaire Mitchell-Paden or Brady Russell

Saturday, August 17, 8:04 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden turned in a solid effort in his team's 27-12 preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday. Mitchell-Paden led the team in receiving, hauling in all four of his targets for 59 yards in the loss. The undrafted second-year tight end out of Florida Atlantic has been productive in Cleveland's two preseason games, catching seven passes for 79 yards thus far. While David Njoku has the No. 1 TE job locked down in Cleveland, Mitchell-Paden will look to carve out a reserve role in the team's offense once the regular season starts. For now, he is worth consideration in preseason DFS contests in Week 3 of the preseason when the Browns face the Seattle Seahawks.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Brady Russell was on the receiving end of a 13-yard touchdown pass in Saturday's 16-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 25-year-old caught a pass just past the line of scrimmage then eluded three would-be tacklers before diving into the end zone. Russell had a total of three receptions on three targets for 25 receiving yards along with the score. The second-year player was signed off the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad last season and was used mainly as a special teams player, logging only 16 offensive snaps all season. Russell is listed as the fourth tight end on the Seahawks' depth chart and does not pose a threat to Noah Fant's (foot) standing at the top.
