A Likely Candidate: Week 14 Tight End Streamers

Neil Dutton
December 5, 2023

Week 13 of the NFL season might have offered fantasy football fans a glimpse into the future. At the tight end position, at least. Sam LaPorta, a 2023 rookie, led all TEs with 29.0 PPR points. As Shawn Siegele points out, LaPorta is on his way to the greatest fantasy season by a first-year TE ever. Second-year player Trey McBride was not far behind with 22.9. Jake Ferguson and Chig Okonkwo were also among last week’s leading point scorers. The future for this much-maligned spot in fantasy sports looks somewhat.

But it is the near future we are focusing on within these lines — next week, Week 14, namely. We are reaching a critical point of the fantasy season, with playoff byes and seeding to play for. You may find yourself in need of a helping hand at TE this week. If so, you’ve come to the right place. Here, I can offer three names of players who you can plug into your TE spot in Week 14 to help give you a boost. They are all widely available too. Shall we begin?

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…...
