It’s Fergie Time: Week 5 Tight End Streamers

Neil Dutton
October 3, 2023

Week 5 sees the beginning of the 2023 bye weeks, making roster and lineup decisions trickier. This is never more relevant than at the tight end spot. It’s already a joy trying to find a viable starter at this spot when all 32 teams are in action. But once you start subtracting teams from the main group, the real challenge begins.

But worry ye not. I am not prepared to let you face this challenge alone. Here I will provide the names of three players you can consider plugging into your TE spot for the week ahead. One of them is very likely heading into his last week of eligibility, as I fully expect his roster percentage in ESPN leagues to tick over 50% very shortly. So you should probably make the most of this change.

Stats do not include players from Monday Night Football.

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.

Guardian of the Will (Dissly): Week 11 Tight End Streamers

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…...
