Week 8 was another strong week for tight end scoring in fantasy football. 14 different players cleared double-digit fantasy points, nine scored more than 15 and four went over 20. I’m not big for tooting my own horn, but all three players I talked up last week managed 15-plus. Not too shabby, I think you’ll agree.
But that was another week, another time. You’re here because you may need help in Week 9. I hear that, and I am here to help you. I have three players widely available in fantasy football this week, and all three can help you. Indeed, one of them is coming off a week in which he led all NFL TEs in fantasy points. So let’s get to it, shall we?
