Whatever Happened to the Likely Lad? Week 12 Tight End Streamers

Neil Dutton
November 21, 2023

It’s always sad when one of the top guys goes down in the line. That happened last week at the tight end spot, when Mark Andrews suffered what seems to be a season-ending ankle injury. It’s a massive blow for all of his fantasy managers, not to mention Andrews himself. But the zero-sum game of American football continues on. And it’s my job, within these pages, to provide you with alternatives at fantasy sports most volatile positions. Not just for Andrews managers either, but anyone in need of a boost at the TE spot this week.

Here, I shall offer forth three players who, for one reason or another, are widely available in fantasy leagues. Indeed, all three are out there in more than 50% of ESPN leagues. We’re starting to get into the business end of the season, and we need to maximize every opportunity we can get to score fantasy points. So shall we begin?

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

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…...
