Pat the Ball: Week 18 Tight End Plays for DFS

Neil Dutton
January 5, 2022

The main fantasy season is over for the bulk of people. If you and your league have a championship week scheduled for Week 18, then good lord, please seek professional guidance.

But if your season has ended, in triumph or disaster, and you still feel the yearning to play fantasy football, then you are in luck. There is still the joy of DFS this week. With this in mind, and because I still want to write about tight ends even as the New Year kicks in, I thought I would offer three players to look at in Week 18. Ideally, with TEs, you either want to pay up or pay down. These three players on the main slate definitely fall into the latter category.

By the way, if you want to pay up, then I would go with George Kittle over Mark Andrews. But only if Jimmy Garoppolo plays. But now, onto the potential bargains.

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

I regret to inform you that we have reached the part of the fantasy season I dislike most. I’m not talking about bye weeks, early kickoffs, or games on multiple days. 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…...
