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…....

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…...

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…...

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…...

Week 7 was a strong week for the tight ends in fantasy football. 16 players hit double-digit PPR points last week, with three managing more than 20. It was a strong week for the streamers too, with two of the three recommended plays from your humble author finishing inside the top five. It would be lovely if we could maintain this output level . …....

And so here we are, Week 7 of the 2024 season. Week 6 saw 12 tight ends all hit double-digit PPR points, with another two players perched dangerously close with 9.9 and 9.6, respectively. What a time to be alive. Stats do not include players from Monday Night Football But that was the past. All we are concerned with here is the future. Here are…...

Week 6 is upon us, believe it or not. We are officially approaching the 33% mark of the 2024 NFL season. While some teams may have it all figured out, others still don’t know who they are or what they are doing. This is true in reality and fantasy. It’s also true of the tight end position. Every week seems to be an adventure, with…...

Week 5 sees the first bye weeks in the NFL season, and in concert with a host of underperforming players is an ideal opportunity to take stock of your fantasy rosters. This is especially true at the tight end position. Seriously, folks, it’s a dumpster fire out there. You don’t have to tell me. Although it was nice to see some familiar faces at or…...

I’ve been a massive fan of Dallas Goedert for a very long time. It makes my heart sing to see him sit atop the tight end fantasy scoring charts after three weeks of the season. But did I ever think it would happen while Travis Kelce, Sam LaPorta and Mark Andrews had a combined four more fantasy points than Goedert? No sir, I did not…....

After the dumpster fire that was Week 1, the second week of the 2024 NFL season was a lot more back to normal at the tight end position. George Kittle and Trey McBride were among the top performers, as we expect them to be. There was another flash from Brock Bowers, who became the first rookie TE in NFL history with at least five grabs…...

Before you all start, I know. I know tight end fantasy production in Week 1 was not good. It was undeniably the opposite of good. Only five TEs managed to hit double-digit PPR points. That’s a terrible start to the season. But the good news is most TEs sucked in the season’s opening week, be they “elite” or speculative roster additions. Things can, and will,…...

I sincerely hope that everyone took adequate precautions to shore up their tight end spot during your drafts of recent weeks. It is, in my opinion (and only mine, probably) one of the most important positions in fantasy sports. But if you lack a viable option — maybe you punted the position to take another running back or a backup quarterback, for some reason —…...
