Travis Kelce the TE1 Again: The 2022 Tight End Report and DFS Options for Week 18

Neil Dutton
January 4, 2023

RotoViz staff and writers join with the rest of the NFL community in praying for Damar Hamlin. His Chasing M’s Foundation, originally established to fund children’s initiatives like toy drives and kid camps, is one of many examples of Hamlin’s generosity and spirit. The go-fund-me campaign has now raised over $6 million. You can contribute here.

Any writing about football at present takes place in the shadow of the sad events that occurred on Monday Night Football. Fans of all teams, fantasy managers or not, should have Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin firmly in their thoughts at the moment. I cannot, and would not even attempt to put into words how I feel or felt after Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the field. If I may, I would highly recommend reading both Kevin Clark’s piece for The Ringer and Denny Carter’s offerings for NBC Sports Edge. Get well soon, Damar.

That Was The Season, That Was

For all intents and purposes, the 2022 fantasy season is over. I hope the information and advice I have passed to you on a weekly basis helped propel you to fantasy dominance this season. It has been fun, as always, delving into the deeds of tight ends. I thank you for reading, and also the players for their efforts. Hats off to each and every one of them.

For your information and knowledge, you will find below all the relevant TE stats for the 2022 season. It should surprise no one that Travis Kelce was once again the right answer all along. It is a nod to the chaotic nature of the position that, the top-12 performers this season include Taysom Hill (not a real TE), Juwan Johnson, and Cole Kmet (both of whom failed to hit 500 receiving yards) and Dallas Goedert (only played in 11 games). Still, if navigating the position was easy, it wouldn’t be fun, would it?

I Thought We Were Done?

Most people will not be playing season-long fantasy football in Week 18. If you are, then I cast a raised eyebrow in your direction. But as I still have some writing left in me this season, I shall, instead of offering streaming options at the TE position, giving my thoughts on three players you might consider plugging into your DFS lineups for Week 18.

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…...
