Trick or Treat! Week 9 Tight End Streamers

Neil Dutton
October 29, 2024

Well wasn’t National Tight Ends Day 2024 fun! Per Dante Koplowitz-Fleming on X, Sunday in Week 8 saw 177 TE receptions, 1,965 receiving yards, and 16 touchdown receptions for TEs. Just wow. Just look at all these fantasy-relevant TEs from Week 8!

Stats do not include players from Monday Night Football

Just like Christmas, the festivities are over all too quickly. We must return to the rat race and get on with our work. So if you need help at TE this week, you’ve come to the right place. Here are three players you can scoop up off the waiver wire and plug into your lineups for the Week 9 games. It’s not looking great on the wire this week. But after such an explosion of production last week, it’s a tough act to follow.

Tyler Conklin (72.8%) vs. Houston Texans

Tyler Conklin has seen his rostered percentage drop below 50% over the last few weeks. This is sadly ironic, as he is now on a two-game touchdown streak after going nearly two seasons without a single score. Conklin plays an awful lot of snaps for the Jets and runs a lot of routes. He is second among all TEs in routes.

Conklin seems presently immune to the dysfunction surrounding the Jets at present and that should keep him somewhat fantasy relevant. This is despite a less-than-ideal matchup. The Texans are not scared of TEs and don’t let TEs beat them. Over their last five games, the Texans rank 31st in PPR points per game allowed, 30th in targets per game, 32nd in receptions per game, and 31st in receiving yards per game. Conklin might need his touchdown streak to make him relevant in fantasy this week. But Conklin does seem to have developed some level of chemistry with Aaron Rodgers, so that has to count for something, right?

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…...
