3 Veterans to Exploit Soft Tight End Matchups at the Start of the Season: Week 1 Tight End Report

Neil Dutton
September 9, 2021

Week 1 is here, folks. Training camp reports are a thing of the past. Preseason games have been banished to the back of our collective minds. Hard Knocks is done and dusted for another year, with the highlight of the season being a three-minute drone shot flying through a building. All of this is over, with real games mere hours away as you read this.

Once again, I will be with you every week of the year. I’ll provide you with all the stats you’ll need about the tight end spot from the week before, along with three picks for lesser rostered players that you may like to consider for the week ahead. This could be vital if you failed to land a Travis Kelce or Darren Waller in your drafts. It’s going to be a great year for streaming, I can feel it in my bones … but that might just be arthritis. I did turn 40 recently.

Without further ado, let’s see who our first three plug-in players are for the 2021 season.

Lead Writer, soft spot for the tight end position. Will never stop loving Duke Johnson.

Will-ing It Into Existence: Week 12 Tight End Streamers

Neil Dutton November 19, 2024

It may not have reached everyone, but it is official. It is time we truly acknowledge that Brock Bowers is a name that I, in the context of this column, will almost certainly never get to write about in future seasons. Bowers is on course to shatter the record for rookie tight end receptions — currently 86 — and threaten the single-season record of 116…....

Guardian of the Will (Dissly): Week 11 Tight End Streamers

Neil Dutton November 12, 2024

Week 10 did not exactly overflow with offensive output. The great Rich Hribar shows here how inept offenses were generally in the week that was. This had an impact on fantasy output, especially regarding tight ends. There were only eight touchdowns scored by TEs in Week 10, which is not a lot, I’m sure you’ll agree. Only 10 players managed double-digit PPR points; one is…...

Take to The Hill! Week 10 Tight End Streamers

Neil Dutton November 5, 2024

They all happen, and I have made my peace with these events. No, I am talking about the time in the season when I am finally forced to acknowledge that one of the best…...
